    Please discuss, in light of what is going on in Iraq and in other Muslim countries.

    Also, how are women treated in Israel compared to Palestina? Where do they have more freedom?

    In general, are muslim women in the middle east allowed to date without fear of being ostracized? Or worst being stoned to death by their own family?

    This is interesting. I would think that if we wanted to know how "civilized a culture is" we might look at an array of factors and not just one. Perhaps a culture that gave rise to an ideology that exterminated millions of Jewish people is a culture that can never be considered civilized, I would think not as I don't think that any one thing or event can define a culture. Or maybe we should judge a culture based on how it treats its criminals, treats its poorest citizens, or how it treats it treats mental illness or addiction. Perhaps none of us is civilized, we just think we are. This sort of belief of superiority or inferiority of culture is what likely gives rise to the worst of human atrocities.

    I always did think the Nordic states are more civilized than the Anglo-Saxon ones.

    United States of America---18.3% representation of women in politics.
    Israel---22.5%

    Cuba---48.9%

    lolz

    Great post on a faulty premise. We can all do better and judge less.

    What, that you would be sexist and assume gender stereotypes, like some archaic type-caster? ;)

    meh, so over that. You'll have to guess, I guess. And at the end, wonder why the f**k it matters?

    I doubt that, but even if so

    a) why would u ask feminists? why not all women?

    b) why don't these women go live in the middle east?

    Totally thread worthy ... 5 star thread. I know we can't rate threads in the D&D but this one should be the exception ... We need kyrie Dwight's perspective on this.

    Never trust anyone who's name is Kahn!!!!

    But seriously, it's a pretty broad generalization, but also is definitely way down the road on the right path. Treatment of women, culturally, does say A LOT about a culture.
