There
will always be men who will claim they know what is best for women; what we
think, feel, and want. If a man has acquired a Ph.D and or has very stiff (pun
intended) religious beliefs, he especially seems to feel that he is qualified
by book learning and or authorized by G_D to tell women how to navigate their
lives, and when we are or are not oppressed, or being “debauched.” One such
pompous ass is Henry Makow, Ph.D who wrote “Burka vs. Bikini-the Debauchery of
American Women available here: http://www.rense.com/general29/deb.htm.
Henry
is convinced that the war in the Middle East is all about stripping Arabs of
their religion and culture, AKA exchanging the burka for a bikini. That’s
right. Henry is convinced that American men and women are warring in the Middle
East in order to rip the bed sheets off Muslim women. Apparently Henry has
never peeked beneath a Burka, otherwise he’d understand the fallacy in his
thinking.
Henry
also has an idealized view of the Muslim woman as the “taproot” of spiritual
life for her family. The rest of that sentence makes me gag a bit so I’ll leave
that to the brave reader.
While
the godly, Muslim woman is busy being the taproot of terrorism and female
circumcision, (I mean spiritual life,) he states that the American woman is
busy strutting her stuff in a bikini and auctioning herself off to the highest
bidder, since the cultural measure of an American woman’s values is her sex
appeal. He further proselytize that American women
idolize Britney Spears and desire to “hook up” for quick sex in a bathroom
versus indulge in courtship and true love.
I’d
like to know what hole this fellow pulled his head out of? (His ass would be as
good a guess as any.) Is he currently in a relationship? I doubt it. And if he
is, I bet she wears sensible shoes and support hose for her own comfort and
she’s never looked good in a bikini but gives good blow jobs.
Henry’s
writing exposes a man who has faced one too many rejections from the
independent minded Western woman who wears what she wants, goes wherever she
wants whenever she wishes, and is protected by sectarian laws. He says nothing
of male virginity and fails to mention the unbridled lust that male models face
on a daily basis.
In
the mental vacuum of his moral musings Henry apparently has not looked out of
his window lately or raised the veil of his inner Burka. He has missed the
whole “Big is Beautiful” movement and has not noticed that the average American
woman wears a size 12 and men love women of all sizes. American women do appear
to be obsessed with diets and looking thinner, but is this to catch a man, or
for her own self esteem? Probably a bit of both, but these are private issues
for the psychotherapy couch, not for pubic digestion.
All
I have to say in answer to Henry is that I am glad to be an American woman. It
means I am free to be a spiritual taproot or a whore. And that is the point
dear Henry misses. I am free.
American
women do parade around in Bikinis; usually a top and most of a bottom,
although in many, if not most cases, she might look better in a bed sheet,
which means women are not parading around in bikinis because they look better
in them and like male Peacocks they are putting their wares on display, but because
they want to. Bathing suits in Europe, and a few American beaches may even
be missing one or the other piece, and yet women are not regularly assaulted on
American and European beaches by American or European men driven mad by lust. I
wonder that Muslim men on European beaches are not raping and pillaging with
impunity, oh wait, they are.
"Fourteen gang rapists have been convicted, or pleaded
guilty, thanks to the courage of seven victims who testified for days in court
as their tormentors smirked nearby, the men's families threatened them and
defence lawyers suggested they had enjoyed the rapes.
'They're very brave, very strong and very courageous young women,'
said Salvation Army Major Joyce Harmer, who held the hands of many of the
victims through the trials. "They knew this was something they had to
do."
But their temporary discomfort may be necessary so that the
powerful social tool of shame is applied to the families and communities that
nurtured the rapists, gave them succour and brought them up with such a hatred
of Australia's dominant culture and contempt for its women that they think of
an 18-year-old girl, dressed for a job interview in her best suit, sitting on a
train reading a book, as a slut.
These were racist crimes. They were hate crimes. The rapists chose their
victims on the basis of race."

While
Muslim women have been busy spiritually taprooting and training little
terrorists, American mothers have been teaching respect and restraint.
This
is how Muslim men, who have never been taught respect for all women and self
restraint are behaving now days, and their mothers are handing out their
blessings.
"I
don't like being pushed around," she said. "I go to school nearby and
there's a lot of Lebanese and ethnics. They call us sluts because we wear
bikinis. They whistle at us like we are dogs."
Being
the best friend of men most of my life, I can tell Henry this (in case he
missed out on life). Men want to be loved; they want intimacy, sex, food, and
football, although not necessarily in that order. American men don’t patrol the
beaches with their penis’s in their hands masturbating on the backs of
sunbathing bikini clad women; their mothers have taught them more respect than
that.
If
rape for Muslim men is about lust and uncontrollable urges that happen upon them
when they see a woman in a bikini, and the Burka protects women from those
lustful thoughts, why are Burka-wearing Muslim women ever raped?
Aziz
H. Poonawalla, is yet another man with an opinion on the burka vs. the bikini.
http://www.crescentlife.com/thisthat/feminist%20muslims/burka_&_the_bikini.htm
Aziz
spins a tale that so carefully tiptoes through the garden of good and evil that
one is left scratching his or her head wondering exactly what his point is.
He tries to come across as a nice Muslim guy who is saying that women should be
able to choose whether or not to wear a Burka or other Islamic garments, and he
also attempts to convince us that those same garments are attractive. Sarees
are attractive Aziz, not bed sheets with metal inserts to see through. He
states, “Attractiveness is NOT the same as sexiness. It is possible to be
attractive and yet retain modesty, but sexiness is inherently immodest, because
it promotes women as sex objects.”
A sentence that left my head spinning as I
tried to figure out exactly what he was saying.
He
further states that, “many women choose burka freely, as well as lesser
variations such as hijab or ridah. Even the most oppressive-seeming burka with
metal faceplate and voluminous robes is actually a weapon in the hands of a
woman when chosen willingly. My own wife wears ridah full-time, even to medical
school, though I was initially against the idea. But I supported her in her
desire to achieve her modesty, and the result has been astonishing. But the
benefits she derives from wearing ridah are a topic for some other time.”
I
can think of a few reasons to wear Ridah. Bad haircuts, bad hair days, no money
for a hair dresser, fear of having your pigtails dipped in ink, but wearing it
to avoid the unbridled lust of a man is not one of them. American women just
wear hats on bad hair days and the good news is, we can take them off whenever
we want without risking having acid thrown in our faces or being marked as a
whore.
Aziz
muddles on to claim that both the bikini and the Burka enslave women, but he’s
avoiding the real issue. If women have allowed themselves to become enslaved,
who is their eager enslaver? Men who are so enslaved by their lustful feelings
that they cannot see a wrist or an ankle without being driven mad?
Personally
I think a bikini offers less chance for enslavement because the whole time a
man is eyeing the boobies he’s got his penis on his mind, not enslavement. How
clever of the bikini wearing women to know this. Keep his mind on the boobies
and he’ll not enslave me, in fact, he will become my slave. The fact is men are
slaves to women because we have what they want.
As
the eternal best friend to men, I’ve heard their sad tales of enslavement to
boobs. As children they dream about boobies. As young men they look at endless
pictures of them and dream some more. A good day for a young man is the day he
sees his first picture of a booby, his best day ever is the day he dares to
slip his hand under Suzie’s blouse and cop a quick feel before she slaps his
hand away. Are we to believe that this natural human interest applies only to
American or western men? Who do Muslim men they think they are kidding?
Are
American women enslaved by their appearances? Sure, some of them are, but most
of us are too busy living our lives, raising our families, falling in love, and
working on our educations and careers because we are FREE to do so.
The
one thing American women have that Muslim women living in Islamic states will
never have, (unless there is a massive uprising) is equal protection under the
law. A judge in America will not let a man accused of beating his wife to death
walk the streets because he (the judge) felt the beating was honorable.
American women do not risk being stoned to death for adultery while a man who
committed the same crime roams free. A young American girl who has been raped
will not be sentenced to death by a judge and hung to death in front of her
family, and a child who is raped and impregnated by her brothers will not be
murdered by her mother who in turn will be praised by the community. An
American woman will not be dragged from her car and legally beaten with
an iron rod because her sleeve slipped down and part of her arm was showing.
Neither will she be beaten because her nails are painted. American women are
protected under the law. Our clitorises may not be legally chopped off, and we
have a right to face those who would beat us, kill us, rape us, and treat us as
animals in a court of law.
What
the Ph.d and poor, misguided Aziz should have said but didn’t because they are imprisoned
by a male mind-set, is that the Burka is a symbol of female anonymity;
it represents women without bodies or faces, without self-expression or
freedom, women as alike as sheep but without half of the value.
Tomorrow
I will address the rape of Muslim women, and the growing trend of rape by
Muslim men on non-Muslim women in European countries.
