Daily Brickbat Absurd news bites, served fresh every day. By Charles Oliver Barbarous Treatment (1/21) Iranian police arrested a barber who helped young women pass as boys by giving them short haircuts. Women in Iran must cover themselves from head to toe when they go out in public, but men can wear anything but short pants. Many women have started trying to pass as men to avoid the dress codes.

Mike, I'm going to take a break from this conversation. Any serious response on my part would take a great deal of time, more posting space than either of us would like, and drive the rest of the thread members batty. You mention a great many issues, each of which has a certain logic, and, when pasted together, their logic would be different from the one you bring to play. I started to simply pass your post by, but that would be more than a little rude. I like posting to you. But, on this one, for those reasons, I'm going to take a pass. If you wish to narrow it down to something that you can imagine a post of a few paragraphs as a response, I would be happy to respond. Oh, yes, though, remember about me. I have a very hard time typing short posts. It takes me a paragraph or so, usually, to just get started.
