When people ask me
"Are women liberated now, in the revolution ?
"Do you, as a woman, feel that
"you earned your space in public life?"
And these ridiculous questions keep on happening.
In the West, it's all about the...
the exterior thing that they can see.
They are just always about "veil" for example.
I was struck by this, that in many cities,
when Christian and Jewish women learn
that Muslim women - women of cover -
were afraid of going out of their homes alone,
that they went shopping with them.
It's really offensive.
I feel like it should come from the inside
because we are the ones who are aware
of our complexity, of our society.
We cannot even explain it. We just feel it. We just live it.
You want me to describe what the word means for me
and...
What it means for you
and in your experience.
- In the society, as a woman... - Exactly.
Actually, whatever you want to say.
There's no rule. That's the idea.

They cut our relationship,
as women and as girls, with our bodies.
I love myself
when I challenge.
I hate myself when I do not challenge
I challenge everything in my life. Even age.
Desire is everything for me, from my point of view.
Desire is the thing that moves me towards things.
I'm gonna add "Expectations".
I hate the word "Femininity".
I think "Generation" also is something.
I'm human, like you.
I should determine what my life will be.
I really love "Internet".
So, "Joy".
"Language".
"Motherhood".
"Nudity". Nakedness,
to take off the clothes.
"Orientalism".
I'm still in love with poetry.
"Revolution".
"Solidarity".
The word "Taboo".
I'm not into this "Unity" thing.
The voices of women, in Egypt.
In the West, it's all about the...
the exterior thing that they can see.
