Defend it all you like. I don't. I think that it does indeed permeate a country. Doesn't Christianity do the same here in the States? Christmas, Easter Even in "evolved" cultures, sexism exists. But in places like Egypt and in other countries in the Middle East, where Islam IS the main religion, sexism is supported through religious beliefs. You must live in a fantasy land. |
My first impression when I read this story? How stupid. We've all moved on. This won't even cause her to bat an eyelash.
My first impression still stands. |
No fantasy land. I'm Egyptian. I never said sexism doesn't exist. I'm the one mad at the protesters. But you are wrong to paint any culture or religion as being so uniform and inflexible. |
Islam is a combination of culture and religion. |
The flexibility is a result of breaking free of those rules. Do you cover? b/c men obviously can't help themselves, correct? So women need to protect themselves by hiding under a veil. I posted about a colleague with a high profile spouse who beat her. After her divorce, she refused to cover ever again. freedom |
I dont understand why when in america you would cover yourself up in a burka , you are free you don't need to do that shit anymore. WTF. France did the right think in banning them ![]() |
you are very perceptive. she seems like a little girl who needs approval and always falls short. |
I love the graphic! A picture IS worth a thousand words. |
You see what you want to see. In reality she is the first or second most powerful woman in the world today. Depends on where you rank Merkel. |
she's not powerful in the way real women want to be powerful, and she never has been. there is a lot of pain. |
"The way real women want to be powerful". The 1950's called. They want their stereotype back. And you wonder why your party has a gender problem, and why you have so few female leaders. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
It WOULD be worth a thousand words, if it wasn't fake. Look, here's the same photo in another ID issued a decade earlier. ![]() Now that you know it's FAKE, is it STILL worth a thousand words? And what do wingnuts get out of faking things to prove their point, other than the ridicule of anyone who can google the truth? |
Oh and before you get all crazy crazy on us, you realize the one in pink is fake, too. Yes? |
I am the PP who liked it, and YES, I knew it was fake. Even so, it makes a statement. a powerful one The one below is ever MORE powerful. And guess what? It's real. ![]() |

She seems to be enjoying herself. ![]() Now that you know it's FAKE, is it STILL worth a thousand words? And what do wingnuts get out of faking things to prove their point, other than the ridicule of anyone who can google the truth? |
