Dear Aisha. This is no hateful response, just a question: what is wrong about having a pure male belly dance event? The male belly dancers are a minority anyway (and this surely won't change in the future) , so why not having once a while an event with only male dancers (and almost only female audience)? And when we talk about sexism, there are so many female belly dance teachers who don't accept men as students, do you think, this is less sexist? Sorry, but I think one can overdo it with the political correctness. Relax and enjoy the gentlemen on stage
