It's Patriarchy Tuesday! - Iraqi edition

So Iraqi authorities have told their policewomen to surrender their weapons so that men can use them. After the U.S. did something right for a change and recruited female police officers, the number of women in the police force surged. Now that the U.S. has given authority over police bacl to Iraq, that number has gone down.

Nice.

And you won't find female police officers on the street because they're all in the precincts doing office work.

This would be one of thew few, RARE times when I say: bomb them all to hell. I mean WHAT THE FUCK? W to the T to the F to the ? If they're not raping women in the streets, they're attacking them because their hair isn't covered. They don't want them to work. They can be seen in the company of a non-male relative for risk of being stoned to death and now female police can't even be armed.

And they wonder why people frown upon their country and their culture. Why, we Western Infidels, don't fucking get it. I want to respect other cultures and not force my western ideals and beliefs down their throats, but there comes a time (like NOW) that I want to say fuck you, Iraq, and your wardsbackass way of the valuing the role women play in society.

Evacuate all the women and then bomb the whole goddamn country. I've had it.
