Screw Equality

That's the name of the book I wrote.
I have had a passion for playing with the words since I was a tiny human, so just recently I was lucky enough to get one book published.
It started with an article with the same name I used to write in a magazine with the same name.
I got so much criticism from those who judged the article by the name, but after getting them to read it, both males and females alike found something to relate to.
And with the blessings of my critiques, and a publishing house I turned it into a book.

Here is the intro of the book:

Close your eyes and imagine the following.

Hmmm…

It probably wouldn’t be easy to close your eyes and read the following would it?

So let me rephrase.

If you are kind enough to take out of your time to explore this reading material, I thought it would be nice to give you a small introduction, even if it is completely out of my nature to do so. I love surprises. Not as a recipient, rather, a provider.

I have constructed this reading material with no structure, as would be apparent to the naked eye. But it eventually builds up to quite some sense. It would be nice if eventually you would agree, and if you don’t, I believe it would be even nicer.

No, I am not a self sadistic person.

I love being admired for my work, or even gaining acknowledgment and awwhs of agreement for any product I provide.

But what I love more, is being the fuel that sparks interest, critical thinking and maybe even harsh critique.

Again, you may ask why?

Well, simply, I believe it is more unforgettable to cause revelations due to ping pongish conversations, than to state what is obviously correct.

What’s the deal with the pages?

I will be sarcastically sharing a point of view I believe in, I act upon, I live by.

It will be explored in a non structured, random, chaotic, non scientific primitive method.

I will be confused, confusing, Confucius, slightly condescending, not at all conclusive, just in the hope that my thoughts maybe contagious.

I will chit chat, share previous articles I have published in printed media, bitch about senseless intellectual wannabes, joke about past experiences, illustrate close friends stories (whom will stay nameless for obvious reputation reasons!), add some of my own insanely sane antidotes and maybe during all this manage to remember to make my point.

Together we will discuss the following:

· What it means to be a female

· My early years of fighting for equality.

· What it means to be an Arab female with foreign upbringing

· What it means to be an optimistic youth, troubled woman, a female fighting for a reason to exist

· What it means to be human

Revelations regarding my conception of “feminism”, “equality”, “gender equality”, and just pure “stupidity” will be a main topic.

I will discuss my evolution from fighting the war of the sexes, gradually into the war of the self.

Self realization, self esteem, self awareness, self empowerment, self love and self loathing

I will not try to sound too smart doing so, to prevent from sounding too stupid

I will not bore you with philosophical theories anyone with internet access can find on the lamest slowest least efficient of search engines

I will not make everything sound so politically correct

Graphic language will be used, and R rated scenes will be illustrated

No editors or censorships will be allowed to delete, modify or “beautify” any of the content

I will try to prove I am a progressionist female in a passive world

I will prove I am not the only one

I will verify actions that have only received screams of disapproval

I will go on a trip called “crazy”…

I would like to take you with me.
