For Women Only - Abaya's For Fashion
by Tina Grazier
A programming idea being considered for the Oprah Winfrey Show (once old George is out of the way) is called "Exploring the phenomenon of women as chattel" The show will debunk this Eastern mandate while seeking to incorporate the abaya into our everyday lives as a peacemaking gesture.
An follow-up programming idea is called, "The abaya for all seasons-exploring the next big thing in fashion". The show will examine the many ways to incorporate the garment into the wardrobe as a gesture of good faith and to promote world peace.
Both show ideas are highly regarded as potential award winning projects. One producer has offered that a woman as accomplished and celebrated as Oprah could easily convince these eastern men of the errors in their thinking. She will be suggesting patiently but quite clearly, that the abaya is restrictive of women's rights. She will point out that the abaya just doesn't do a woman justice, physically or sexually. She will demonstrate the unfairness of making women wear something that men need not wear. She will invite them to wear one, just for a day...at her expense of course, just to experience for themselves the discomfort and the unfairness of their demands. Maya Angelou will be present to read a new poem written especially for the occassion. The magic of liberalism will permeate the airwaves and suddenly, right there on TV for all the world to witness, these men, having been subjected to Western liberal values by the world's wealthiest woman, will immediately see the error of their ways. They will promise to subscribe to both "O" and "cosmo" in order to better correct their extreme and brutal patriarcal behavior. and... we will all live happily ever after.
World peace...it's so easy the liberal way.
