do u know how it is like not to date who u want or to wear what u like. i dont but my siss do. and i knew many of their secrets, gave alibis for dating. did u know their word is less worth in the court. did u know they inherit half the amount of the sons. did u know that they get constantly annoyed by taxi drivers they rent cuz they live little more freely than most other women here. or did u know that they got and will get death threats cuz they defend women rights and hide women in danger, of their own family. did u know my sis was the first girl in the city driving a pickup to university and ppl were talking and looking at her like an alien. i guess not.
however i have to say that iam kind of disappointed that no one posted a serious feedback to the topic, but r posting at the same time in other threats demands on their rights and about the unfairness in the world.
Ok this puts things in a bit more perspective for me.
I read the topic headline and then EACH post and couldn't make heads or tails out of it.
You are correct I DON'T know what it is to live like that I DO read about it and yet it would be insulting to say I "know" what it is like.
What I do know is I was blessed to be born in the USA here I believe anyone can achieve their dreams through hard work etc.
I do believe in the equality of men and women. In this country we can and do step into each others roles.
I do believe that we all have to strive to accept others not enable but encourage.
I do believe in equality based on a persons earned merits.
Not what they look like, what career they choose, the colour of ones skin isn't something that doesn't factor in in my world. Gender also doesn't come to factor for me at all. Male or female both are vital and we both are able to share or carry lifes load
Is this more of what you were looking for. If this post would have been in your opening post it would have given me a bit more clarity and I wouldnt have been lost
U know despite all that all of my siss decided on their to come back to Kurdistan as they have austrian citizenship. someone has to face the fight and they r fighting well. everyone have to demand his her own rights noone else will do it for u. men can be supporters, as i am, but the fight and struggle and pain has to be carried on their shoulders mainly, otherwise they wont be taken serious.
