Date Posted:11/07/2014 11:15 PMCopy HTML So, the democrats tried throughout the last election to convince the votes that republicans are waging a 'war on women'... whatever that might be. Apparently because republicans tend to loathe abortion (something that kills an awful lot of future women), those mean ol' republicans must be waging war on women. I'm not sure of the logic behind that but there it is. In response, the group determined specific prices for women and children, while “vowing to execute whoever violates those controls.” This is the worth of a human life, according to ISIS:
New York Post, Daily Mail, RT, International Business Times, Opposing Views and Christianity Today are among the few outlets to report on the story. I'm not actually a conservative but I find it noteworthy that the rags that have chosen to air this atrocity are mainly conservative rags. Come to the Dark Side.

Re:An actual war upon women Date Posted:07/03/2017 7:10 PMCopy HTML Violence against Women: Some Inconvenient Data for the Corrupt UN
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10569/violence-against-women June 28, 2017 ..............According to the Global Gender Gap Index of the World Economic Forum, there is not a single overwhelmingly Muslim nation in the best 50 scoring list of countries. In contrast, the last (worst) rankings of the index, from 128th to 144th, are without exception overwhelmingly Muslim countries, including Turkey at the 130th place. Turkey's case is important to note, as the increasing supremacy of Islamist politics in daily life in the country has boosted patriarchal behavior and worsened gender equality since 2002, when President (then Prime Minister) Recep Tayyip Erdogan came to power. In other words Turkey, the 17th biggest economy in the world, is the 15th-last country in terms of gender equality. The United Nations Population Fund grimly observed in a report:
A 2013 Hurriyet Daily News survey found that 34% of Turkish men think violence against women is "occasionally necessary," while 28% say violence can be used to discipline women; a combined 62% approval of violence against women. In 2014, Turkey's Family and Social Policies Ministry reported that its domestic violence hotline received over 100,000 calls, and estimated that the number of unreported cases is three to five times that number. A 2016 study by the same ministry revealed that no fewer than 86% of Turkish women have suffered physical or psychological violence at the hands of their partners or family. According to the ministry's findings, physical violence is the most common form of abuse, as 70% of women reported they were physically assaulted...............> |

Re:An actual war upon women Date Posted:08/19/2017 7:43 PMCopy HTML Saturday 19 August 2017 Finland knife attacker 'targeted women'https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/19/finland-police-believe-turku-knife-attack-was-terrorismAn 18-year-old Moroccan man suspected of carrying out Friday’s deadly knife attack in Finland appeared to have targeted women as his victims, police have said.Officers are treating the attack in Turku, in which two people were killed and eight injured, as a terrorist act. The two people killed were Finnish, while a British man, two Swedes and one Italian were among those injured. Four of the wounded were still being treated in hospital – three in intensive care – while the rest of those injured were expected to be discharged on Saturday. The Briton is believed to have sustained minor injuries. A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said: “Our staff have offered support to a British man following an incident in Finland.” The suspect arrived in Finland in 2016 and had been “part of the asylum process”, police said. Officers arrested five people – four of whom were Moroccan – in a Turku apartment on Friday night as part of their investigation...............> |

Re:An actual war upon women Date Posted:09/03/2017 4:59 PMCopy HTML The female director who was issued a fatwa for her first film3 September 2017 When 35-year-old Maysaloun Hamoud, a Palestinian director, said she wanted to "stir things up" with her movies - she achieved it. Her first feature film, In Between, has resulted with her being issued with a fatwa (Islamic religious ruling), as well as death threats. The movie, which is released in the UK this month, is about three young Arab women sharing an apartment in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. Away from the traditions of their families, they find themselves "in between" the free lives they're aspiring to lead and the restrictions still imposed on them. "It's naive to say, 'no I didn't expect any comeback' when I wrote it," says Hamoud, "but I didn't know how big it would be.................> |

They've got their issues and they harness the power of boobs to get those issues out. What's interesting here is the difference in how these ladies are treated. Now, in other demonstrations they have not been treated gently but I do not recall any incident where they were thrown to the ground and kicked repeatedly. If anyone knows of such happening, do please bring the information forward. I hope this might be the last straw when it comes to ignoring how islam treats women. Probably not but... perhaps.

The hard-line Islamic country’s state TV channel broadcast a video on Friday in which Maedeh Hojabri, a 19-year-old gymnast, admitted breaking moral norms. The initial report I saw said she was given a sentence of 4 years in prison and was to be whipped 80 times. However, I've been unable to verify that anywhere. I did find a BBC report saying, "In 2014, six young Iranians who posted a video of themselves dancing to Pharrell Williams' hit song Happy on the streets and rooftops of Tehran were given suspended sentences of up to one year in prison and 91 lashes."

Re:An actual war upon women Date Posted:07/20/2018 2:44 PMCopy HTML I guess I missed the ongoing war on women. It used to be a hard thing to be a woman in the work force. And with children. Not so any more. I don't feel warred upon. And I also don't allow it. Women can be tough, we are not victims. If you permit yourself to become too open-minded, your brains could fall out.

Re:An actual war upon women Date Posted:08/24/2018 7:22 PMCopy HTML WOW
This thread is still going. Congratulations.
It’s difficult to accept a war against women since their annihilation ends humanity, but suppression of them through fear and example beheading in Saudi Arabia is just one way. Numerous ways exist throughout the world that suppress women. Some rise, anyway, even with the system against them. Some fall subservient even with the system for them.
America has a “don’t worry your pretty little head about it “ system which is understandable since women had to fight for the right to vote a little while ago. Too many men still consider a woman their property and that seems to pass father to son, given the domestic violence against women rates in this country.
You may be comfortable here and think you have a platform from which to speak shock and awe about the treatment of women in other countries, but American men are not that innocent....it’s a matter of degree. Beheading scares the bejeesus out of us, but shooting her in the head while she’s being interviewed by a reporter, on camera, live.....what do you file that under?

Re:An actual war upon women Date Posted:08/26/2018 12:33 AMCopy HTML Agreed.
We’re pretty in print and rightly complain when the hammer of the law must be wielded after so much time has passed.....can’t legislate good behavior, society must comply.
They are not pretty even in print.
Although rape in India was a given after 6 pm, the society wasn’t fully aware until an extreme case made the news and shamed the perpetrators and the country. Still would not venture out after 6 pm even with a male escort.....cause that was an unwritten rule and how many of those types read the news?

In western culture, including the US, women are protected not only by custom but also by law. Are there aberrations? Of course. Evil people exist. But here's the thing. In western nations and western culture, women are safe to do silly stuff like this. They're not going to be assaulted. They're not going to be raped. Worst case, the cops arrest them for being silly.

Women are free to wash cars bare breasted to make rent money, for awhile. Their city council managed to put an end to it, much to the disappointment of men for miles aroun who needed their cars washed.
Good natured as most people took it, it was pretty darn risky. They made bundles of money. LOL
