Like I said I agree that its wrong that some of these women are forced to wear them or they will be lynched on the streets. And everyone should have at least the basic rights to decide what clothes you are or are not oing to wear. But I still maintian that The media has chosen to use Religious differences as a way to push there own agendas. And part of those religious differences is clothing.

^ true, but by saying that's their tradition or religion or that they like it doesn't change anything... talk about it... and in this thread we can talk about women.... muslim women, for example... but not only about that... complain about men's rights, if you'd like. but do not say that muslim women like being controlled and forced to merry 40 year old men when they're 18, k?

Im tired of all the extreme feminists there are now. I dont know if this should go in this thread, but they're bugging me so Ill put it in here anyway. It seems as though guys cant do anything any more without being accused of being sexist. Im all for equality and whatever but its a proven fact that guys do some things better than women. Some women are always ready to complain about men getting picked for an engineering job over them, but theyre quick to bring up the fact that women can multi-task better than men.

this is so funny,and its no hoax its from the independent-"Analysis of the "X" chromosome - the female sex chromosome - has revealed that women are genetically more complicated than men. The findings reveal that men have taken a genetic battering that has dwindled the size of their own "Y" chromosome...While women have two X chromosomes, men only have one, inherited from their mothers...Scientists showed yesterday that the X chromosome has retained its physical integrity while the Y of men has dwindled in size and power to become a shadow of its former self."

I'd agree with that. You get to a certain age when you realise women do hold all the cards, so you go and buy a shed to escape to.
More seriously, is it fair to consider this issue to be about faith (in the true sense of the word) or cultural pressure? How many of these women believe they are being treated fairly - and to those that do have faith - within the boundaries of their chosen religiion? I believe a lot of these women are opressed, with the opressors hiding behind the facade of religion. Just because a woman "chooses" (and I use the word loosely) to continue these traditions in an apparently free country, does not mean she is less affected by the same cultural pressures. There is light at the end of the tunnel for these women though (and I don't mean the US occupation of Iraq): http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4349341.stm Dave |
