...who are happily living in a traditional marriage and are very content with their traditional lifestyle that they are oppressed? To save them from themselves and of course sell them drugs. Can you imagine flying in to tell Taleban women they are oppressed! The same mothers who produced Taleban men are somehow different and better than they produce of their own loins. Talk about Aryan Nation Holy Roller or what!! "Pass the Prozac Sister" is the clarion cry of this new breed of feminist.

They are oppressed if they don't want to live that way. And many of them don't want to live that way. If they are happy, and they choose to live that way, even though they have the CHOICE of other lifestyles, then, imo, they are not oppressed. Of course I am not the kind of person that likes to tell other countries how to live with a threat of force. I believe in organizations like Amnesty International to combat injustice (as I or they perceive injustice), but all countries have the right to autonomy no matter how horrible I think they are (as long as they remain in their borders)- that is my doctrine.
