...to me it is related to womens rights and feminism, dostum, but of course I agree with you...and my intention was never to blame religion for what happened.

Sui..this IS related to feminism. Because the Taliban's reaction to the educating of women, is how women became oppressed for so long and why they still are.
Sui...did you know, and this is a fact! That 30% of Turkish women are regularly beaten by their husbands and other family members (including their own sons)? This is oppression!
It really IS what feminism is all about.
No educated person believes that the Taliban represent the real face of Islam. I don't believe Islam oppresses women, I believe that Muslim men oppress women, all over the world!
Feminism is about how MEN suppress and oppress the freedom and rights of women. Its not an Islamic thing, its a MAN thing!

look larger girls! There is a killed teacher... a big crime... whatever the reason was... and the ratio is much more bigger than %30.. even very luxurous and high society women having problem with that too... this is a big problem but what we can do with it? ok lets bring to all women in a house so let them live there away from their hubbies.. but then??? what will come then?? this will change by the change in generation and with change in minds... you will see maybe it will take years but this need to change.. and there must be always bads and goods in this world to see what we are doing... anyway.. this is sth like paradox.. feminism or any other thing.. at first we need to be learn HUMAN ...

Quoting Aslan: The bitter truth is that there have been just as many wonderful women as men through history, but the women were not given the same opportunities as the men. 
...but be sure that all the men in our history books had mothers and daughters, sisters and lovers that were just as brilliant! 
...last night I heard on the news that talibans had shot a teacher to death in front of his students. The teachers crime? ...he was educating women! ...2005...what a disgrace! ...if anyone wonder why I am a feminist...feel free to ask! |
I recognize that over the years that women have not had the opportunities that men have had but to compare the activities of the Taliban with the average male to justify your feminist views is wrong

I don´t compare taliban activities with average male to justify my feminist views! ...as a feminist I think that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men...that´s it! ...and I find it horrible that someone is killed for educating women...and I don´t compare that action with the average male, I don´t even understand where you get that from? ...do you see ghosts where there are none?

OOFFF!
I don't think anyone was trying to suggest the Taliban were representative of all men. BUT the point being made by Aslan and myself, is that the Taliban's actions are a continuation of the kind of oppression of women that has been going for hundreds of years and created the situation that still continues all over the world.
