I love women, I love adventuring and learning about Afghanistan's peaceful past. <BR/><BR/>Ms. Cobban, you need to take your political correctness forward to a conservative blog not backward about photos of some event sixty years ago in a progressive blog.

I find that when being in discussion in English with people for whom English may be a hard-won second, third, fourth, or fifth language it is generally courteous to give them an explicit hint when you're using irony. It doesn't harm people who already "got" the irony, but it sure as heck helps people who may have struggled to read the text and then find themselves confused by the effort to "place" its literal meaning.Helena Cobbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803164338055590336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275824557999662261.post-1083276319134969022008-04-11T16:31:00.000-04:002008-04-11T16:31:00.000-04:00Ah, thank you for the post and explanation for I d...Ah, thank you for the post and explanation for I did not understand the post initially.<BR/><BR/>Why have we come to the point where everyone agrees we should be in Afghanistan, only more so?

By today's standards, the outfits are really quite tame.<BR/><BR/>I can sort of grok the imperialism objection, but find the use of quotes around "natives", and the assertion of a "troubling mix of quite unexamined gender and imperial politics" a bit po-mo for my taste.<BR/><BR/>However, to reassert my good bloggy credentials, I will say that I regard our recent adventures in both Mesopotamia and Afghanistan to be rather better examples of "incredible imperial chutzpah" than a fashion shoot forty years ago.Hunsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188706369004532171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275824557999662261.post-87032711926729814682008-04-11T05:54:00.000-04:002008-04-11T05:54:00.000-04:00You understood it quite well, only for some reason...You understood it quite well, only for some reason you think that I don't.<BR/>Things we miss: Bamiyan Buddhas (rear of second picture).<BR/>Things we don't miss so much: 1. "Gross objectification of women involved in that whole photo-shooting venture."<BR/>2. "Incredible imperial chutzpah involved in staging this shoot with flesh-exposing (objectified) women models inside someone else's country-- and then being able to hire large numbers of 'natives' to pose behind her." 3. "The troubling mix of quite unexamined gender and imperial politics involved in all that."<BR/>Note also that the model in front of the buzkashi players is wearing a pigskin vest, forbidden in Islam. You missed that.Barnett R.

Because of the gross objectification of women involved in that whole photo-shooting venture?

Because of the troubling mix of quite unexamined gender and imperial politics involved in all that?<BR/><BR/>Unless, G-d forbid, you think that the "capture" of these images of marketized and objectified women somehow represent "women's liberation"?<BR/><BR/>Maybe women and men in Afghanistan and the rest of the world have better things to worry about? <BR/><BR/>I'm also trying to figure out what the point of this post is?
