Women stoned to death in Pakistan outside courtroom

No. It is not women's problem. When people are oppressed that is society's problem.

Little girls in Pakistan are sub-human at birth. They are not allowed to go to school. They are taught that their place in this world is to be silent, to be the honor of their father. They are taught to be submissive and obedient. They see that other girls and women are killed for dishonoring their family by being disobedient. In many (I would even say most) cases they are never exposed to any other kind of thinking. They cannot be out and about without a male escort. How in the actual hell do you think they're going to go about organizing some mob to kill off all the men?

Also, I never condone calling any person retarded for any reason. But I think it's especially disgusting in this case. These women are not given the opportunity to know better. At worst they are ignorant, but it isn't their fault. Blaming the victim (or in this case millions if victims), is not the answer.

My point is that it's the women's fault because they are a majority in their particular society. Therefore if they want to change it they must do it themselves. It's not my problem, or even your's unless you are involved in it.

Based upon my experience I know what I would do if I was part of that society, knowing what I know. Of course if I was devoid of my current understanding I might be a sheep just like they are.

If they're happy good for them. If they're unhappy then they need to change things. I'm just commenting on their situation because it pisses me off as a free-thinking adult American male in the 21st Century.

BTW, all revolutions start with just one person who got ticked off about something and decided to put his ass on the line to change it. So all it takes if for the first woman to clean house and tell why she did it. Then another one will do the same thing and the next thing millions will do it. When it reaches that stage the surviving men will stop acting like cave men and join the 21st Century. Of course the guys could always marry goats but the women will win either way.

A lot of women in those parts of the world are:

A young girl who was shot repeatedly by the Taliban for refusing to heed their demands to not go to school.

She recovered in the hospital right next to where I live in the UK and now is an ambassador tirelessly campaigning for women's education in Pakistan and indeed anywhere where girls (and boys) are denied the right to education.

Indeed, her actions have meant that countless young girls in Pakistan can still go to school thanks to local community support rallying against the Taliban.
