Fine, have any opinion you want about me, but I said it sounds like you're agreeing with Schlussel, not that you are. If you're not, than fine, it would probably mean that you don't think matters are bad because of something specifically innate in Muslims, or otherwise, why being so avoiding in your answers?
Why do you think conditions are as they are in these countries? (particularly if you have any other answers than poverty, lack of education and lack of democratic experience, which are reasons I've stated many times in this exchange)
But you want to pretend this is the way all poor countries operate? Name another where women can't drive and men can marry 8 year olds. Or where women get beaten in the street b/c their ankle was showing.
Why do I have to pretend shit because I simply don't agree with you? Poverty, lack of education and democracy makes for a brutal outcome when hit with religion, it's an old truth. It's rather simplistic of you however to try to make me come up with exactly the same examples from country to country. I'll humor you with examples on the matter however.
In some Southern African countries women are legally minors and can't own or inherit land and other property. They also rely heavily on unpayed work by women in certain fields. Women get circumcised and I'm sure I don't have to tell you that child marriage is not performed in only on part of the world. In Colombia it's been reported by Amnesty International, that women get raped, beaten and killed by armed forces from all political factions there, female human rights activists report that rapes and abuse happened while police was watching even. WHO's study about women in Brazil showed that 41% had suffered physical and sexual violence. In North Korea women aren't allowed to wear pants or ride bicycles, in South Korea property rights were instigated only in 2005 (old Confucian law is very negative toward women) and equally recently laws against domestic violence were instigated. I could go on, and I do have links galore for you, if you're interested in being bombed.
I'm not sure why you seem to want to "prove" that certain places are harder for women, since I haven't even disagreed on that (emphasized for the umptieth time), just on the reasons.
You really have a superiority problem
whatever, knowing and understanding shit often gets this reaction. I'm probably "uppity" for a reason.
