Today's word is an acronym,
BOEH, from Dutch
Baas Over Eigen Hoofd and in English
Boss of My Own Head. According to
the Economist this week, it is a Belgian feminist group with mixed Muslim and non-Muslim members. It supports the idea that women should be able to choose what they put on their own heads, or what they don't put on their heads. BOEH has demonstrated the principle in demonstrations, where they put "sieves and toys on their heads." Here's a nice
group picture, and some
more from Indymedia ("don't hate the media, be the media").
