    As doctors we must understand: asymmetry of power/knowledge in the doctor-patient relationship vulnerability of patients the sacred trust they put in us by sharing their stories, bodies, hopes, fears, pain An x-ray is not just an x-ray. Is someone’s body part

    I am not prudish & I am related by marriage to number of avocational traditional Middle Eastern belly dancers & I thought Shakira came close to some kind of cultural appropriation with her bondage interpretation of belly dancing. That said, my wife wishes she thought of it first.

  3. I recognize criticism of “scanty outfits” of the halftime show is tacit racism cuz (primarily white) slim cheerleaders wear as little or less two female performers can choose their dress BUT not okay to create Orientalist “slave woman” image

  5. Which country is it that had to fight a bloody Civil War brother pitted against brother to end slavery still with deep unhealed wounds, festering Hmm? Slavery defined by skin color Yet a woman of color *chooses* to dance as a slave to Arab music in Superbowl?!?!

  6. This is actually 2nd time I have seen this characterization of an Arab or Muslim woman in an American cultural icon The first time was last time I saw Nutcracker by - same racist tropes in choreography This different but implies slaves

  7. I’m not going to deny that I get treated better in Pakistan BECAUSE I am the “right” kind of woman there In U.S. I am at intersection of gender, race, religion with a dash of Orientalism for added spice In Pakistan, I “only” have to deal with gender issues, no fetishes

  8. Pakistan is a complicated place as is outlined in this book LOTS of violence vs women, yes BUT also much violence vs men who lack privilege, power, protection That is how patriarchy, tribalism, and privilege work - “wrong” man is at risk too

  9. Also, about “saving” me More U.S. stats, this time, pregnant women: “Intimate partners are perpetrators in two-thirds of the murders. Victims are predominantly younger and people of color.”

  10. Men often kill when women try leave - when women assert independence, when women stop being submissive What kind of man do you think seeks out the woman in this image, broadcast in the Superbowl? What is a man expecting out of me in the U.S., given this cultural expectation?

  11. “Saved” implies I would be safer Am I safer here? Let’s look at stats 3 women dying per DAY sounds pretty high to me

  12. Muslim women are sick & tired of being a political football to be “saved” from our supposedly awful fathers, brothers, husbands, etc “liberated” from veil Well who is “saving” me from the guy with the weird Orientalist fetish now perpetuated by an American woman of color?

  13. I am NOT judging women who choose this form of work BUT If male execs are viewing women as bodies first in business meetings and women are selling racial and cultural stereotypes through costumes how do those men view women in the workplace who should be peers?

  14. Several men I know in the banking/finance world have affirmed that this is commonplace still Where sexualization of women, commodification of female sexuality is part of business meeting “entertainment” for execs What does it mean for women execs?

  15. Frankly, I have never been subjected to these types of comments when I am in Pakistan, even among execs there, I am a normal human being as opposed to exotic fetish reinforced by Orientalism in halftime show not saying the Pakistan is perfect for women This is creepy tho

  16. Another comment, this was by exec I was introduced to by a buddy for networking who felt SO comfortable that he even put this in writing in an email: “I have never seen an *ss your color naked before” Is he collecting pelts? Place tiger next to lion on hunter’s wall

  17. Comments I have received in work settings: comments on “arranged marriage” on two occasions from CEOs when discussing my joining their executive team = submissive “daughter” role Not a full exec on team No, do not now add image of Eastern woman dancing with wrists bound

    I learn so much from following people in different specialities. Like I’ve seen enough x rays from ortho to know the screws aren’t supposed to stick out of the bones. You can’t just learn that anywhere.

  20. Ummm... awfully elitist and against what the Founding Fathers created Sure, we can strengthen public education and invest more in our children and future generations that way but no, there is no “test” for voting unAmerican

  21. I was ambivalent on halftime show until I got to 2:05 Do NOT market sick sexual slavery tropes to American men Orientalist stereotypes That affect ME in my interactions with those same men in work settings Do not sell me out for your fame & profit
