Hattan Alsaif has grown accustomed to sparring with men. Rarely shy about confronting heavier, stronger opponents, she knows what it’s like to absorb blow after blow until tears begin to shine in her eyes, her face red and hot from crying.
Tangentially related, but reading this made me wonder how it works for her. The picture shows her with short, open hair and a lot more visible skin than strict islam allows. Special permission? Also, does she need a male guardian around even though she could probably kick his teeth in without breaking a sweat?
The whole thing seems very hypocritical from the saudis; women should dress like beekeepers except when it yields us international renown…
