Manly Women?

You read that right. Manly women, not mainly women. And perhaps the code word for lesbians or butch lesbians in Dubai. Either way, Naji Hay, an official at the ministry of social affairs, doesn't like it:

“The phenomenon of manly women has become apparent in society.... These women are against the normal nature of females. Their deviant behavior threatens other normal girls. This is why we had to launch this initiative to protect society from this menace.”


The campaign, which involves educational experts and psychologists, will include awareness workshops to explain the phenomenon and ways to face it.

And supposedly if you are a manly woman, you automatically become menacing. Honestly, you can't make this stuff up. Whatever your views, read the article.

Not being funny here, but I really can't find the article that quotes Hay as saying this. Can someone provide a direct link?
