Lefty women dont believe the Islamo-fascists would hurt them.
Yes, and see my post at #79.
” I am the REAL Sec of State!”
Makes a lot of sense. May our American Liberal women be subjected to the whims of a hairy, smelly, 300 lb camel herder. And may he loan them out to his friends.
Pelosi went to make friends as a traitorous Bush hater and hoping to loosen up some illegal campaign contributions just like Clinton and the Chinese.
Exclusively with other slaves, that is. In Islamic society a man can (and frequently does) dump an old, worn-out wife and bring home another one; he marries them for different purposes, one for his house slave, one to bring up the children, one for sex, etc. And they apparently do not get along enormously well and there is a considerable amount of rivalry and cruelty, since one wife is usually more powerful than the others.
A thoroughly nasty society. It’s not the Girl Scout troop pajama party.
Looks like somebody opened her body bag......three weeks after death.
give me Barabbas for 2008 Alec
(AP) Nevilla Chamberlain meets with Syrian government officials linked to terrorists and agrees to impose recently negotiated U.N. burka standards on U.S. women.
Interesting point — the segregation and seclusion of Muslim women, though forced on them by men, allows them a certain sisterhood and solidarity that Western women don’t have. I guess back in the day, like back in the 1950’s, Western housewives had something similar. My grandmother and her neighborhood friends were very close knit. When the kids were at school and the husbands were at work, the Moms would shop and run errands together, do PTA stuff together, and, if there was time, play bridge and have drinks together. It was like a ladies’ social club. Funny how the femininists see that period as the dark ages for western women. And funny how they’re able to find something good in a similar culture (reason being, of course, that the culture is that of The Other).
Other reasons why leftist women might have a thing for the hajib: it’s exotic; a buried desire to feel chaste and forbidden; a buried desire to be dominated by men (a desire that post-modern post-male liberal men can’t fulfill); wearing one is subversive and sure to tweak conservatives.

Amen to that. Amazing that NOW doesn’t care.

Now that you mention it, I too recall that era in exactly the way you describe it. I would also add that I recall hearing women say things like, “Well, my husband makes all the important decisions” or “I think the man should make the decisions about what to buy since he earns the living”. i.e. women weren’t ‘partners’ in a marriage, much in the same way as in Islam.
As to today’s feminists, judging from what is portrayed in classical art depicting haram life, lesbian sex/relationships were/are also a part of the Muslim female-segregated life.
