Erdogan: Of course women aren’t equal to men ( Moslem Turkey )
Hot Air ^ | November 25, 2014 | Jazz Shaw

In case you were looking for an actual “war on women” as opposed to some fictional hysteria constructed for the entertainment of daytime cable news soap operas, you might want to take a look at Turkey. The new president of our “ally” in the region near Syria, Tayyip Erdogan, decided to opine on the subject of gender relations this week and he really wasn’t worried about mincing words.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said women cannot be treated as equal to men, and has accused feminists of rejecting motherhood.

“You cannot put women and men on an equal footing,” he told a meeting in Istanbul. “It is against nature.”

“Until I see one starting as an interior lineman in the NFL...”

Michael Sam? Or was that a different position.

Way to go Erdogan. Alienate half your country's brain power.

May you stay in the 7th century...

Thanks george76.

Not sure about that, but plenty of feminists have rejected my fatherhood, the b-. ;')

Well...I think the muslims are right in keeping women out of leadership. Women are too concerned with how people “feel” and “how things should be” instead of being concerned with the way things really are and how best to fix them. Granted, there are exceptions like Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin, but for every one of them there’s hundreds of Nancy Pelosis and Cindy Sheehans.

Sadly true. The worst of the worst are the man-hating, childless women in leadership positions in England where they deal with kids. My God, what they are doing is absolutely frightening.

Those are just lesbians who are carrying out warfare against the traditional family which they hate because they’ll never have one. The best thing to do with people like that would involve a burlap sack and some rocks.

LOL...wow, something that sees things just as me. Most people, especially women, see these beasts as nothing more than well-intentioned women that got into their field only to “help children”. But every time I see a middle-aged woman with gray hair in one of those positions it scares the crap out of me.

I’m not that many years out of high school and I hated these c**ts as faculty because if you’re feminine, have long hair, wear dresses, and know how to use makeup then these ugly trolls will make your life hell. That’s when they’re not creeping you out by flirting with you. Ugh.

Crap, I certainly hope there’s more of your type out there. In Texas (and other state) Republicans are now getting 75-90% of the white vote. That means there must be!

In the good old days of equity feminism, before it caught the left wing cancer, the meme was that men and women "are equal but different."

It worked, for awhile.

Almost a million students are enrolled in “imam hatip” schools this year, up from just 65,000 in 2002 when Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted AK Party first came to power in Turkey
