Women Equality: Arab Dysfunctional Culture


Keep this thought:  
    We will never get passed the barbarism of the slavery of our mothers and sisters because it is much easier to ape barbaric bad behavior of dysfunctional countries; than to THINK and rise above it....
           or we would have been there by now.

Worldwide Communication has brought nations so close together; as if, we are now, one dysfunctional family of shockingly, undesirables and strange bedfellows.

In the Arab world, a woman rears her sons, to know, they will become fearful of women as a whole in their culture; and therefore, her sons will
treat her as a second class citizen; you think she has to have the biggest heart or a case of dementia; but really it's fear that Rules the Day.

"Arab proverb: " Victory is gained not by the number killed but by the number frightened." Patton, Carlo D'este.

My husband once told me an American woman, who attended the same Royal Arab wedding he attended, had seen the Arab woman's world from a different side; the dark side. The women and men were always separated in different rooms.
During the festivities, my husband remembers the mess that was left behind once the men were finished eating.
This American woman said she was appalled when the women's door was open to a room for their own wedding meal; only to see the mess left behind from the leftovers from the men.

The Arab women who had prepared the food would leave it on trays in a large room where the men gathered. 
Sitting on the floor, the men would eat with their hand, slinging the food over the tray and floor, making a mess.
When they finished eating, they would leave the room, and the women would enter the same room to eat what was left.

This behavior is part of a ceremony that joins a man and woman into a marriage.

It made me think. These women in these Arab countries cook the food and the men eat first.  Obviously, Arab women are restricted from knowing stories about the European King's Food Taster.
No wonder God did not make me an Arab. I would have wiped out the Arab culture in just one meal. Call it their Last Supper.
But then that would make me a barbarian too.

Instead the women become mindless creatures existing for the pleasure of others. So the meek will inherit the tornadoes, wild fires, earthquakes, tsunamis; but Only, if they survive the Stoning.

So What drug is God on?
After what happened in the Garden of Eden, I think He just went on a drinking binge. Was that before or after He rejected one of his children: Satan?  Speaking of dysfunctional families.

Our World is spinning in reverse gear.
The United Nations gives the Iranians, membership on the Commission of the Status of Women; ...
      "Iran announced its candidacy for membership in the commission" (for women's Status) "after it withdrew from its bid for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council last week." 

So the Iranians couldn't get on the HUMAN Rights Council; only on the Commission for Women's Status. So what does that mean? Women are less important than humans with rights?

Did you see this video?
Let's not stop here.

Are the Arab civil wars taking place across the world really fighting for equality for all mankind or just for equality for the men?

Once Egypt got it's freedom from their dictator, a revolution started by a woman on Facebook, so I heard on CNN;
a month later, men and women organized the Million Woman's March in Egypt.

....“We are not convinced by the amendments of the constitution as they don’t give women the right to run for presidential elections, and there are still no equal rights,” said Reem Shahin, a member of the Million Woman March movement."


That same kind of amendment, a thinly disguised pretense, that any American woman can run for the presidential office; only that, she is never given the same respect as the man running against her.

About  a 1000 Egyptian women showed up for the march,
...." Meanwhile, as a group of activists stood side-by-side holding banners of the movement calling for equality, another group of male protesters came from the other side to disrupt the march. As males and females activists chanted “Men and women, one hand,” “Muslims and Christian, one hand,” the other group described as “thugs” chanted “No, no, the people want women to step down,” and “The Quran is our ruler."


"It was a shouting match more than a dialogue, with neither side hearing the other. 
The thugs became insulting and aggressive, but the majority of the activists insisted on staying. The thugs then became violent and started pushing and harassing some women....." 
Naturally, the thugs won that round.


The American Unions in Wisconsin followed the Egyptian thug's
 " behavior of pushing and shoving" their way into the Capitol building because the vote did not go their way.
More shocking was the President of the United States, Pres. Obama, encouraging them to protest, in spite, of their violent nature against our democratic way of life because he wanted their vote.

I am glad Egypt was liberated? I still have faith that the women in that country will prevail. When I was in Egypt, I had a good feeling about the people who lived there.

Where is all this destructive behavior heading?

Maybe, it's a Rebirth. 


After a fire, life begins again with new growth. OR

Maybe, we will never get past the barbarism of slavery of our mothers and sisters because it is much easier to ape barbaric bad behavior of dysfunctional countries; than to THINK and rise above it....
           or we would have been there by now.
