Quoting Roswitha: the author's views are disputable
http://www.rense.com/general29/deb.htm |
The author's view are quite extreme in many areas and quite true in one or two. Note the reply at the bottom of the web-page, this gentleman put what I thought nicely - far better than I could ever have worded it, I have cut and pasted it here for people to read:
Comment
From Mike Harris

While Dr. Makow makes some valid observations concerning some of the flawed perspectives directed towards and about women in Western Society, he fails miserably to produce any true insight.
The comparison of a "Miss America" Contestant with the "average" Burka-covered Muslim female is ludicrous--were women expected to be parading on our city streets or going to the market dressed in Bikinis it might be an apt comparison, but such is not the case. Further, the inadequacies of Britney Spears as a Teenage Role Model have been pointed out many times by others--including Spears herself recently.
Dr. Makow seems to use the term "independent" in connection with women as some sort of slang insult,and he competely ignores that the so-called revered status of Muslim womanhood amounts to them being treated as Property .
In America, women are treated as a Commodity due to their beauty (as are Men) -- IF they wish to be and IF they allow it . But bottom-line, they have The Freedom to either self-promote or reject the status of Commodity.
In the Muslim rigid framework of existence, women are Property, and are subject to cruelty far greater than any so-called Western "debauchery".
"The burka and the bikini represent two extremes. The answer lies somewhere in the middle. "
That is the only unassailable statement Dr. Makow makes---all else is simply proof that a Ph.D doesn't necessarily guarantee a perceptive viewpoint, merely that the author's Opinion shall be printed somewhere.

I think that is the major problem that most Western women have with coverings....If women CHOOSE them that is fine but being force to wear them, whether by government or family, is absolute oppression. I also object strongly to the assumption that if you don't wear them, you are some kind of harlot.

i dont understand the facts of comparing two things. 
first, how many of western women live/work/function in bikini suit only?
second, how many muslim women are forced to veil themselves?
why are these two things compared?
its like comparing 1% to 95% any logic here?

there should not be comparison between western bikini women (who are the minority of ther western society) and the hijab/burka women who stand for the majority of muslim world.
do you get my point? statistics, not looks, im talking here!
