Okay, here's another one: "A man asked Thawab bint Abdullah al-Hanzaliyya to marry him but she ignored him, and as he persisted she wrote to him: - Your manhood stretch stands no chance of slipping through my body’s niche. So move it away from my body’s door and take it back whence it came." These women were savage 😆 #poetry #poem #WomensHistory #bookstodon #women

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Beautiful! I’ve got it half memorized already. Some sentiments are timeless.

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Every woman, every time and place ever, probably more than once in her life. Though some only think it.

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social I recently bought an old #book of #poetry from #Iran poet and mathematic Omar Khayam and after 1000 years, it keeps on being incredibly beautiful. Also, it had this special insert 😍 :ablobcatnomcookie:

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social That is because women had comprehensive rights in Islam 1400 years ago including property ownership, inheritance and marriage consent. European women didn't get these same rights until the 19th and 20th century. Islam influenced Liberalism. Only in 20th century Europe overtakes Islam and grants more rights to women, which is how we get to today, where the narrative is non Muslim women have more rights, but not long ago, in the recent past, the opposite was true.

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social There's a fine line between poetry and rant, it seems. 😄

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social It's ironic given the poem that her actual name is missing and she listed in terms of the men in her life. "Umm Ja'afar" meaning "Ja'afar's mother" and "bint Ali" meaning "Ali's daughter"

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social I'd be interested in the other choices when translating, which had them decide on "twit".

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social I need to frame this and give it to my tween daughter. As inspiration, to be clear; I’m pretty sure she has the sentiment down, but maybe she can use tips on how to express it eloquently.

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social y'all I'm really sorry but there has been something making me incredibly tense because NO ONE acknowledges it. A true, real life elephant in the wild! I'm getting really bint out of shape over the accidental, REALLY unfortunate homophone(?) with some English slang
