24, Jeannette Klein, graduate student major engineering, the Netherlands PS: ìThe one where the lady is carrying the man and the one where the Lady is on her cycle with the man on the backside: In my opinion this is not really what you want emancipation to be. Of Course theyíre nothing wrong with what's on the pictures, but as we both know, itís nice when man are gallant. Why should we take that over? I think life in Turkey, especially in the countryside, is hard enough for women, so why should they carry their man or be in front of the cycle? Emancipation was meant to give people equal rights, not to consider them to be the same..."Not:Kucak ve surucu postakartlarinda: Benim fikrimce ozgurlukten istedigin bu degil. Tabii ki bu resimlerde yanlis bir sey yok, ama ikimizinde bildigi gibi erkeklerin centilmen olmasi hos, o halde neden bunu onlardan alalim. Sanirim Turkiyeíde hayat, ozellikle de kirsal kesimde zaten yeterince zor, o halde erkeklerini tasimak ya da bisikletin onundeoturmak niye? Ozgurluk insanlara esit haklar vermek uzere saglandi, onlari ayni algilamak uzere degil"
