On Reuters Oddly Enough, I read and watched this:
Istanbul’s Club Fox on the Marmaris coast the belly dancer’s hips gyrate and tassels swirl to the music but the stomach is a little hairier than usual — it’s a man’s.
Male belly dancers are thrilling audiences in Turkey and other European capitals, drawing on a tradition dating back to Ottoman times when men in the Sultan’s palaces were entertained by young male dancers as the women lived separately in harems.
Here’s the youtube link to the male belly dancer … and …. umm, wait a second here! What was that again? The Ottomans brought male dancers to entertain them while their women lived separately in harems?
How sick is that?
No wonder they were referred to it as The sick man of Europe.
It all makes perfect sense now.
