Blogpost 6: Iran's Female Ninjas

Have you ever wonder that there's a female ninja? Yes there is, they're called "Kunoichi". Even women can be a ninja, and Iranian women are the one who dominate the title of Kunoichi. Now let's see why Iranian women are training to be ninjas.


Kunoichi
I found an article entitled "Iran's female ninjas: fighting for sexual equality" by Lucy Mangan from theguardian saying that when you're denied basic human rights and when your legal testimony is officially recognised as being worth exactly half that of a man's, you develop a lot of rage. Lucy also stated that "For Iranian women, martial arts are an increasingly popular way of channelling it and ninjutsu one of the most popular choices within that."
As for my understanding on what Lucy said, there's nothing wrong with Iranian women who wanted to be ninja. All of us has rights to be treat equally whether you're a girl or a boy.



Another article entitled "The Lady Ninjas of Iran" by Mansoureh Farahani from majalla stated that martial art that is becoming increasingly popular among Iranian women. Mansoureh said that "Students of ninjutsu claim that it teaches many of the skills of the Japanese ninja, including unarmed self-defense and the use of weapons. But it also focuses on the development of self-control, patience and self-respect. Like many martial arts, its popularity is growing among Iranian women."

This will prove that women can also do what we (men) can do. As I said from my comment above, don't treat women like they're nothing when it comes to physical strength or something. Treat them like they're one of us.
