    Prof. Kwame Anthony Appiah developed a sort of “new” cultural relativism where you respect everyone’s cultural BUT you don’t stand for certain things as norms, especially when they have a repressive or genocidal etc. bent. I.e. female circumcision and yeah…stoning.
    Would make a great topic for a novel.

    Appiah’s NY Times article, written not too long ago, explored the problems of cultural relativism, if I remember correctly.

    I probably should not have watched that video clip because it left me feeling very helpless and raw. “Honor killings”? Honor killings?!?!!?
    Why are certain practices against women condoned in society? Why are clitoridectomies seen as ok and an upright practice? Why are women’s power taken away from them, like this young women’s power to date or to even socialize with whomever she wishes? Why is women’s power a major threat? Why?

    Why is women’s power a major threat?

    I think it is because this now male dominated society (eurocentric) does not want anyone to know of our ancient history, where women were revered and honored above all. They do not want anyone to know that we ran societies. That we maintained nations.

    They want everyone to forget…blot our past out of the pages of time. And send all that we were into the abyss.

    Religion is such a huge factor is this madness. But people are so steeped in it, that they cannot see how it has corrupted the minds of many, driving them to do horrible things as god drips from their tongue.

    Its funny you mention that. I’m probably being blasphemous but I’m just musing. This reminds me of something one of my favorite recording artists once said: “Women are probably closer to God…We make life”.
    If thats not profound, then I don’t know what is. Just the power to procreate alone is massive. Even our bodies are made differently specifically for that.
    Could it be that these hyper-masculine emasculated males know this subconsciously? That they cannot inherently recreate or simulate what our bodies can?
