I think this came up because someone, maybe me, noted that the particular tortures chosen were designed for maximum effect in the society being occupied. No one that I know of in friendly precincts said anything, much less raved about, about how Islam has oppressed women "everywhere for centuries." That's your particular hobbyhorse, which you been riding with weird enthusiasm. Evidently in your mind there's a connection between me & the Freepers.
