asilimia kubwa kabisa ya vijana nchini liberia haina ufahamu kuhusu uambukizaji na kukabiliana na vvu, na dhana hii imetokana si kwa sehemu ndogo, na kiwango kinachotisha cha ujinga (wa kutokujua kusoma na kuandika.)

mona el tahawy did not like how egyptians were hot and bothered over fake hymenswith all the troubles egypt faces these days — spiralling cost of living, a president in power for 28 years whose son looks likely to succeed him, etc. — why all the fuss over hymens, real or fake?
mona el tahawy hakupendezwea na jinsi wamisri walivyopamba moto na kuguswa juu ya bikira bandia pamoja na matatizo yote wamisri wanayoyakabili siku hizi – gharama za maisha zinazopanda, rais aliye madarakani kwa miaka 28 ambaye mwanawe anaelekea kumrithi, nk. – kelele zote za nini juu ya bikira, iwe ya kweli au ya bandia?
