The Thing All Women Do That You Don’t Know About
Source: The Thing All Women Do That You Don’t Know About
This is a woman’s point of view that I can relate to. I think every woman can relate to this at some point on their life. Fortunately, it doesn’t happen that often. I believe something similar happens to guys. It exists for sure but not to the same extent since we live on a male dominated world. Just ask your mother, your sister, your daughter if they had gone through this type of experience, they will tell you. I’m sure this type of situations happened at least once to every women on this planet, whether they recognize it or not. I would ask my father, brother, uncle or son if they do this kind of things, cat calling, unwelcome touching, “untasteful” jokes, etc. I think it’s an interesting discussion to have.

Kinshasa: Les africains sont déçus de Barack Obama, rien fait pour l’ Afrique.
Pourquoi les gens sont-ils surpris? Comme je l’ai dit lors de son élection, il est plus américain qu’autre chose. Il est un pur produit de la haute société de Chicago. Qu’espérez-vous? Il n’est africain qu’à moitié et pas du tout proche de son côté Kenyan. Il est très éloigné du mode de vie, des besoins, espoirs et désirs des Africains. Ses buts n’ont rien avoir avec ceux des africains. On pourrait dire qu’il travaille pour les Américains mais même là on pourrait se poser des questions…
PEOPLE OF THE WATER: THE LIBINZA OF THE ISLANDS OF THE NGIRI RIVER, DEMOCRATIC REPUPLIC OF THE CONGO – Part 1: THE ISLAND VILLAGES.
Beautiful pictures by our friend Jacques Jangoux
(part 2 will be: THE WATER)
Anthropologist Pierre Van Leynseele invited in 1970 to photograph the people he studied, the Libinza, on the islands in the marshlands of the Ngiri River, between the Congo River and the Ubangi River, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then called Zaïre). I spent three weeks with the Libinza in October 1970, first visiting various islands, then staying for about 2 weeks at one island in the village Liketa. Each village consists of several islands linked by channels in swamp grassland which surrounds the islands. Many of these islands were artificially made adding soil to raise emerging sand banks. Beyond the grasslands is swamp forest, also reached by channels.The photographs are from various villages and various islands.
