What would you call it then?
I get what you mean about it being a Western idea but if it is harmful to women then??? Although we do project (myself included) our Western ideas on other countries way too often, like FEMEN and their bull**** where they try to expose themselves in public in protest of Islam and "in defense of muslim women" but still, if these laws harm women like this one, what about the ones that live there?
Not saying I know a damn thing what I'm talking about but it would be interesting to hear from women who actually live there.
