Why the Taliban hates women..

[joanna bujes]

I did not dispute that western nations practice their own brand of 
misogyny, but I would still argue that there is a difference between a 
small child being sexually mutilated and an adult woman "willingly" having 
breast-enhancement surgery. To be sure, the adult woman is brainwashed; but 
the kid has no chance at all; it simply doesn't matter how the kid feels 
about the pain and the life-long suffering.

The fact that bombs are falling does not mean that we can't talk about the 
oppression of women. And the fact that western pundits always drag in the 
"oppression of women" only when it serves their purpose does not mean that 
it is not a real issue.
