Big, fat, phoney NOW beyotches...

And look who's got their camel toe under the tent. Listen to this sh^%.

A long-legged woman posing playfully in a martini glass. A bikini-clad bottom gyrating for smirking men. A woman in a hijab looking forlorn and oppressed. (ed.note: That's because she IS forlorn and oppressed)

Those images are all too common in American media, according to the National Organization for Women. And it's time they change. How women are portrayed in the media was the focus of several forums at the NOW national convention Friday at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn.

"It's important to identify our similarities instead of our differences," said Rana Abbas, who helped lead a forum on issues facing Arab-American women.

A Muslim of Lebanese descent, Abbas said that many people assume that reactions in this country to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks mostly affected Arab men. "It's the women who truly have suffered," said Abbas, noting that it is the women who must stay behind and raise the family when husbands are targeted by ethnic profiling and deported.


Like I said - sh^&.
