These girls show courage, swagger and stoke. They might be riding the crest of the wave that frees women from Muslim enslavement in the medieval version of Islam: You go girls! http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/surfer-girls-make-waves-defy-expectations-bangladesh/
I saw this last night. Those girls were genuinely stoked! That one "teacher" guy who was saying that a women's purpose is to be at the disposal of men made my stomach turn. Hope those girls can get a ticket out of the country through surfing and never look back on that archaic bs.
Thank you for posting this. It shows us what islam is. It also proves surfing is all good, that it is a wonderful thing, and that surf stoke is irresistible. People try to oppress or restrict surfing, because they don't surf, all over the world, so this just shows what human beings are really like, vs. The biggest lie of " i believe that people are basically good." No. The human heart is totally depraved. Look at these ugly people cursing these young girls for having fun surfing. Pure stoke!
i saw this a while back, not from PBS. i couldn't imagine the hornee bangladesch dudes on the beach, peeking behind the trees. windowless vans in the parking lot. but yea, good for those girls
I just can't believe how courageous those girls are, to surf knowing the men might kill them. We talk about conquering fear paddling out in certain conditions. It pales compared to what these girls are doing.
Nice to live here. But it ain't as free as you all think. But it is freer than most other places. And that is good enough for all of us morons.
So let's lend the girls a little support. For less than the cost of your next bag of bud you can help these girls stand up in the face of some real life or death oppression. Let them know there is a surfing community out here who thinks they are something else. https://www.gofundme.com/thesurfgirls These are from the woman who set up the gofundme page...she's tied in with Rashed's wife, Venessa. Her personal website seems to have crashed from the number of hits. https://www.buzzfeed.com/katebubacz...bring-you-pu?utm_term=.fkxxKzQAdk#.woedzvZV0K http://proof.nationalgeographic.com/2015/12/14/making-waves-with-the-bangladeshi-surf-girls/
Barry, I'd like to see you go one day without being negative at all. Not saying your a negative person. Your usually fairly positive, but there's always just a dab of negativity thrown in there. Try it out sometime.
