Coed University Classes in Saudi Arabia On Their Way

A new fatwa has overcome the prohibition of gender mixing in unsupervised areas among unrelated people: Women may now breastfeed men with whom they come into contact, thus creating a ‘family’ bond which makes the man and woman related and the contact permissible.

Although too old to teach under these circumstances, UD looks forward to reading Rate My Expressers.

Hard initially to get hold of her nipple; once locked on, very good.

Slow. Too much class time spent pumping, sucking. Female students look bored.

Plays favorites. Feedings should be fairer.

Talks endlessly about how much better she lactated when she taught at a more selective school.

Milk production fine, but men sleepy after, and professor seems unable to wake them. What are they teaching in ed school these days??

    I’ve read the article. I’ve read your mock student reviews. Then I think of this article:

    Of course it’s too hard to get hold of your nipple. You’re wearing a burqa. Would showing both nipples be too seductive?

    YequalsX: But note the cartoon at the end of the article I linked to — It shows a burqa with breast holes cut out.

    Oh, and on the one-eyed veil — I featured that on my blog not long ago. Even managed to get a photograph of a woman wearing one.

    I didn’t notice that cartoon. Thanks for pointing it out. I tend to think this cleric is pulling a Poe’s Law type of thing.

    Had to look up Poe’s Law.

    Though I, er, devoutly wish it were a case of Poe’s Law, I’m quite sure it’s not.
