Default Re: March 8th International Woman's Day

This thread is about international Woman's Day...

So much fighting over absolute nonsense.

I'm upset that Turkey is moving towards Sharia Law, the Taliban is negotiating to end the war, do any of you understand what that means?

Quote:
According to the Sharia, despite declarations of the equality of the sexes before God, women are considered inferior to men, and have fewer rights and responsibilities. A woman counts as half a man in giving evidence in a court of law, or in matters of inheritance. Her position is less advantageous than a man’s with regard to marriage and divorce. A husband has the moral and religious right and duty to beat his wives for disobedience or for perceived misconduct. A woman does not have the right to choose her husband, or her place of residence, to travel freely or have freedom in her choice of clothing. Women have little or no autonomy and are deemed to need the protection of their fathers, husbands or other male relatives throughout their lives. Any conduct that undermines the idea of male supremacy will fall foul of the Sharia.
If you are going to fight, put it to a useful cause...

Imagine if you were in Iran right now these 10 things would only be a dream...
