#1 Sana Yemen
Anisa al-Shuaibi, "Manolo fetch me my qat"!

Khat contains the alkaloid cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant which causes excitement and euphoria. In 1980 the World Health Organization classified khat as a drug of abuse that can produce mild to moderate psychological dependence, and the plant has been targeted by anti-drug organizations like the DEA.

must be good then. :-)

#4 While I too would like "femininst" groups to rally round the cause, I'm a tad tire on this demand being pulled out all the time in such cases.

Battles close to home, where we've yet to hold the 100th anniversary of the vote, keep us from tackling insane men halfway around the world.

Where's the knight in shining armour? Where's the cry from men that women cannot be treated this way?

Suffragettes had to sway male opinion to effect change. Hopefully today's man would find the cause as compelling as "feminists".
