Weeeel.... doesn't the "either" imply a parallel drawn? << Frankly, I am not very happy with the way women are treated in traditional Jewish homes, either>> I think your point was that taking ritual baths; being deprived of birth control and the right to abortion; wearing wigs or scarves; those sorts of things, compare in your mind (in some way you might want to make clearer) to being murdered for speaking to a man or for being raped, which are the examples of control-mechanisms used on (NB: non-volunteer) Muslim women that were cited by me. Are those all examples of treatment of women by religious groups to which you take exception, and feel deserve comparison to the "honour-killings" of terrified Muslim girls and women by their male relatives? If you weren't drawing a comparison you felt was relevant and meaningful in some way, then I didn't get the point of your raising the voluntarily participated-in rituals (that do not relate to the issue of the ability of parents to control their children), I fear. I accept personal checks... ;)
