It id, however, the discussion of these matters, particularly the dysfunctionality of the kind of strict, supposedly Islamic code that gives women no right to ever move out of the house, that is important.

But a die-hard feminist - who married an Afghani and lived in Afghanistan named Phyllis Chesler, says that Afghan culture has treated woman as second class citizens for centuries.
