Where is NOW and the rest of the liberal mafia on "women's rights"?

Question

"Self-immolation by Afghan women rising

By ALISA TANG, Associated Press Writer Thu Mar 15, 5:12 AM ET

KABUL, Afghanistan - One woman committed suicide by setting herself ablaze after her father-in-law tried to rape her. Another set herself on fire because her brothers would not let her marry, preferring that she remain their servant at home. Yet another told her mother before she died that her husband beat her daily.

Testimony gathered by the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission documents how life for many Afghan women remains so bleak that some choose a horrific and painful death instead.

The group interviewed about 800 Afghans whose sisters, daughters and daughters-in-law have killed themselves by self-immolation to escape domestic abuse, forced marriage and other misogynistic social customs...."

Why aren't these groups out in the street marching against this vial ideology?

hichefheidi, if you are going to accuse me of doing something, I suggest that you back up the accusation.

"Note that the women are killing themselves to get away from conservative men."

Authoritarian and conservative are not the same thing.

Answer 1

They only care about protesting for their own personal rights and entitlements - and getting their liberal cronies voted into office.

Answer 2

I believe with a little research, you would find that women's groups have helped and are helping the afghani women. It's Bush, let's not forget, who gave the Taliban 43 million in May 2001.

Note that the women are killing themselves to get away from conservative men.

Answer 3

Liberal woman - obese, reliant on her guy for each little thing, heavy makeup and dyed hair, would not examine books, purely went to varsity to discover a husband, carriers to emotional overeating. Conservative woman -Self beneficial, considerate, likes to examine, extra probable to talk a distant places language, compassionate, loves animals, would not prefer to placed on makeup or dye her hair by way of fact she's beneficial of her organic splendor

Answer 4

Are you against women having the vote or something. Our founding fathers saw the great western powers of Europe mettle in one anothers internal affairs and thought it destructive. Jefferson said "peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none." Horrid as it is, why do you worry of Afghan women?

Answer 5

the UN and other human rights groups are handling it. you seem to know a lot about NOW,i didn't know thy still existed as a relevant group. why didn't the democratic freedom we gave afghanistan stop this,because the morality police were brought back. i realize you don't care and are just using it as an excuse to attack fellow Americans

Answer 6

National Organization of Women. NATIONAL. Now, why aren't you doing something about it? Or are you condoning it? I don't get it. Perhaps if you stopped attacking american women's rights, some time could be freed up to deal with some real issues, no?

EDIT: UNIVERSAL you, not YOU you. Unless of course, you are also one of these right wingers who attack people's rights. If you are pro choice and fight for the cause, I stand corrected. But I have a pretty good idea that my accusation DOES apply to you. Let me know. Are you pro choice or anti choice? Do you support the abuses in Gitmo? How about the PATRIOT act? And on and on...BTW, since you like proof so much, can you give me some regarding the LIBERAL MAFIA? I'll be waiting...

Answer 7

I'm pretty sure that they're not FOR this.

So your idea of criticizing them is to find an abuse of Women anywhere in the news and then slam them for not protesting in Washington (which has nothing to do with this) this particular item?

Pretty weak argument, nice try though

Answer 8

once again- this horrible. but its hard to stop it. we can't control every other country and we can't force people to act like us. we can try to persuade people from this way of life, but that most likely won't work.

I support helping these women leave these countries-legally or otherwise

Answer 9

Liberals like myself are only interested in HELPING people. You're not going to find a single person who wouldn't want to help women in these situations.

It's the conservative Republicans that are only out for themselves.

Answer 10

There are plenty of groups (including NOW, BTW) who have active programs trying to help women like this.

And not not are "liberal." But none of them are sponsored by the so-called "religious right." Not surprising--this kind of treatment of women is what they endorse themselves, they just can't get away with it in the United States.

Answer 11

Notice how libs DEFLECT from your point....trying to change the subject...the reason that they are not against this...IT IS ANTI-US and that is what they want...they do not care for "Women of other countries" just as long as they can use it to Bash Bush is what matters. That is their agenda
