Right, because women are commodities and a reflection of your honour as a Somali man.

If you want to promote something you always have to ensure that Alpha opposes it. Works wonders for the product.

commodities? i'm sorry but our cultural doesn't commodify women to be treated as a property. indeed, somali women are the pivotal laf-dharbarka bulshaada, which weaves together, the delicate thread of our culture. they've been relieved from hardships and liberated from the difficulties of life and we accord them respect. we're begotten by them, take them as wives and raising them as daughters because we love them, know what's best for them and have the most profound respect for their beings. indeed, our women, have unfortunately been plighted by ignorance, induced by their weak hearts and as such do not realise the sacrifices we're ready to make for them. but.............., by challenging our authority, undermining our efforts and treating us as you would treat a property, to be bought and sold......... do they think they can get away with such actions......? the 50,000.00 single-mothers, 15,000 revert lovers and 700,000 bad seeds out there in the west, will forever stain our honour as MEN but also as SOMALI people. here, in the land of traditions, we have a symbiotic dealings with our women and she's full aware of her position as a worthless commodity with no value, if she transgresses the sacred. indeed.

The last time I checked, only nerds and virgin male teens read comic books in the west, and we Somalis don't have either one.

Ah yes, all Somali boys come from their mother's wombs as fully-fledged gigalos, eh? Those nerds and virgin male teens are the reason why you even have a platform to type this comical hyper-masculine drivel.

LOL@ our women. This guy is claiming a race of women on the other side of the galaxy. Its like an American claiming the Asgardian women of Marvel Entertainment.

 

Such an impressive mind you have.

hahaha oh my goodness . . .

 

Watch all the naysayers run off on a bandwagon later on.

[Chimera]

^Its going to be a reality, no doubt, there is just too much determination and hard work involved.

After a century of comic books, the only Somali characters we can boast are these: http://marvel.wikia.com/Category:Somalians

 

Rebels, smh.

[Maarodi]

That's exactly what happens when you are not in charge of your own narrative. Her outfit made me cringe. And you can see the lack of originality. Obax Majid?... Iman Abdulmajid? And that hideous cheetah print? Oh no no.

 

I'm always concerned about the lack of "hal aabuur" in our society so this project is a welcomed step in the right direction. Don't delete this topic, its generated over a thousand views already, and slowly people are donating on indiegogo.
