Seems to me these societies recognize that improper conjugal relations between a man and a woman deteriorate the social structure. Fine, I buy that - I see it daily and we discuss "return to the past" things on this site all the time.
But, to recognize it as a wrong and then put ALL the onus of correcting that wrong - complete covering of the body, complete responsibility to keep men from ever desiring - on the females demonstrates an assumption that the males are unable to keep themselves from resisting sexual urges.
Now, it's no secret men, as a rule, behave more openly and aggressively sexually (at least in public). But, this flaw in the structure of the social responsibilities of puting such onus on the women shows to me the weakness of men in fundamentalist Islam countries. Hairy beardy mysoginistic ID-monsters if you ask me. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img]
Why didn't the protesting Ms. whatever candidates go there and then make their fuss. Don't they still get to talk during pageants?
