        Why is this even a question, huh? Sudanese women are entitled to wear whatever they want, any law that seeks to prevent them should be abolished.

        The fundamentalist Islamic country of Sudan led by dictator President Omer Omer Bashir is not satisfied killing blacks, oppressing opponents but also banning women to wear trousers! Dictatorship!

        Trousers are beautiful on the ladies. Should it be crime for Sudanese men to unzip the trousers?

        It Shall be crime if whoever arrest them gets to explain clearly why it's a crime Else let the women be. They have their #rights to wear what they want as long as it doesn't go against the society's morals. Sometimes we make people's lives hard without a reason. #COP24 #SDGs

        I’m just not sure how much more unnecessary suffering and death must be inflicted on humankind, before we abandon the terrible ideologies that are religion.

        This is why I don't like organized religion. It can't seem to help itself from oppressing women and gays.
