Apologies for the daily fail link.

I would be horrified if a man had said this, but it somehow seems worse for a woman to say it. Maybe because I was naively thinking of some imaginary 'sisterhood' where women try and protect others.

Their religion is incompatible with the modern world.

It operates on a medieval level.

some people have shocking views. this is cold and calculated and wrong on so many levels. perhaps she should put herself in the shoes of the women she is advocating should be sold. disgusting, but not all that surprised to be honest Sad

Yes it is disgraceful, but the article is 3 years old - has there been some sort of recent development?

dancestomyowntune · 15/08/2014 09:42

now that i see it is a 3 yr old article i vaguely remembdr the uproar then. however i still think the underlying message is horrific, especially with all the current conflicts in the world. what happened to compassion?

Yes, some men and women are shits. I'm not disputing that. I think it's the whole scale disregard for human life that's going on at the moment. makes me despair for the world our children are growing up in. Sad
