Participants in a dance festival before the dry season where younger males in full
plummage vie for female votes as most typical of Bororo norms of Fulani masculinity.

And for any who think they're sissies you should see their chest scars from the sharo!

Interesting how perception can colour things.

When I look at the pics I can't help but think of Miss J from America's Next Top Model. But then again, perhaps just 50 years ago, the word "gay" did not automatically mean a homosexual.

^The male and masculinity: as cloddish, brutish and lacking in grace and beauty is a European concept. That is why you automatically associate male beauty with homosexuality.

Rubbish, it is the extensive make-up that people would automatically associate with homosexuality.

Absolutely nothing to do with male beauty.

The architrave contains two horizontal inscriptions, both starting from the middle and reading either left or right. The right-hand side reads : "Supervisor of the manicurists of the palace, the King's administrator, Niankhkhnum".

Correct. "People" who associate this with "being less than male" are not Africans.

Most of the blacks who ow live in Egypt migrated down river from Sudan after the era of Pharonic egypt. When Hawass did his Hatcepsut special last year all of his characters were caucasians.
Much like Tut, the descendants of european farmers.

You mean they are not of that particular culture.

I understand "homophobia" itself comes from Western societies who practice homosexuality the most, but are you saying for sure there are no groups of authentic Africans who might still find it wiered for men to wear such heavy makeup (i.e. not mask) ?

^ Cool out brethren. It just occured to me that a mask doesn't have to be put on, it can also be painted on.

I'm just trying to figure out why they look like how women look when they're trying to get a man's attention, that's all. However, they are actually trying to get women's attention. If the women in the culture are used to that, I don't see a darn thing wrong with it.

And even if they were gay, where is the crime? I just like to be knowledgable about what I'm looking at so I don't go speculating as I am very prone to.

I'm saying Africans who are familiar with their fellow Africans, which in this case are Fula, will not mistake them for "homosexuality". "Manhood" is decided face-to-face and on a fist-to-fist basis, if you know what I mean. These folks may wear make up for festive purposes, but don't let that fool you about their "manhood". But don't take my word for it; go over there and accuse one of these folks of being less than man, and test their reaction.

Well, can we safely say you don't know the subjects of your thread: the Fula?

Ps: They are not restricted to one country either.

I know for a fact the Fulani are not in Nigeria alone. They are a nomadic people spread all across West Africa and probably the North and elsewhere as well.

I don't have much knowledge on them (I probably have as much knowledge on them as I have about my own people) but I know "them" very well as individuals/friends. All my life.

Then why didn't you ask them? A very well known
friend wouldn't be offended if asked about any
cultural accouterments of their kith and kin and
could give an extensive face to face explanation.
Admittedly many Fulani look askance at Bororo ways
and may associate them with adultery, even incest,
but not sodomy.

Agreed. And how many African peoples allow their
males to participate in the greulling sharo ritual?
Yaake, like sharo, is all about masculine endurance
not transexuality.

I was staying clear of this topic but. . .yeah a guy dressed like this at Mardi Gras will be taken as queer.

There is a difference between face painting and men made up to look like women.

No dis-respect to Africans on the board.

I've never known any woman who puts on makeup by applying yellow piant all over her face and a white streak down the middle.

that is very true with all the incidents ive seen involving Africans and someone's notion of them being gay turned out something horrible. I cosign the statement

This is why I posted photos of the guys and the
gals participating in the yaake. The males are
obviously not made up to look like females as
even a cursory examination of their faces
clearly show.

Anyway Bororo don't give a cow flop what anyone
may think about them. They would judge you as
kaado kordo.

When you can succeed at sharo come back and call gay.

The videos contradict themselves. First one says women can choose, at the paegent, to move on with another man while the second video says married women cannot elect.

So what is it, can married women in the Wodaabe tradition elect to move on at these 7 day paegents or not?

Either way, I think the tradition is fine. My question is, who gets to keep the children if a wife decides to move on with a man from another clan/group? Things can get nasty at that point.

Absolutely nothing about these Fulani men strikes me as gay or feminine. Similar facial decoration occurs in many other African ethnic groups. You can't just use your western lens of viewing the world and oppose them on other cultures that aren't western.

According to Hawass Jews also hate Palestinian children and the elderly

Ancient Egypt has nothing to do with "Caucasians" don't ruin the thread

Young girls electing the winner of a yaake or a

who are abandoning their husbands for a new one.

This is a product of your cultural associations and ideas about sexuality. One shouldn't engage in projection when dealing with other societies.
