Its Men Who Need Liberation Not Women

Thank you for taking the time to write and post your argument. Ok, so you agree with my previous argument? In which I say that women are still more in need of liberation? Looking at the rest of your argument (in which you say men have done everything to liberate women) I don't think your agree with it. I'm a bit confused though. Well, I agree there should be equality. What I'm saying though is that women are the ones more in need of liberation than men. Also no, men have not done everything to liberate women. Some men have, but definitely not everyone and in a lot of third world countries men still actively oppress women. Countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Mali and Pakistan. I'd like you to look up these countries and how women are treated in them and still tell me with a straight face that men are the ones more in need of liberation. This website for example: http://www.feministezine.com... And I agree that Western Feminism can be incorrect some of the time, here's a article about it: http://www.globalresearch.ca... And let's look at women in Afghanistan, a third world country. The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission has said that the number of cases of violence against women in 2013 has risen by 24.7% compared with last year - an increase it describes as "staggering". Some of these reports will be the kind of everyday violence that a number of Afghan women face at home. Many women are too afraid to seek justice because, campaigners say, more often than not their cases are ignored. But others are cases of brutality meted out in areas under Taliban control such as the case in 2010 where a couple were stoned to death in a village in the northern province of Kunduz. Here are two horrifying true stories.: Rescued from stoning in Kunduz In a remote northern village, a woman was about to be stoned to death after her husband accused her of adultery. It is all the more remarkable for being a case where the police managed to rescue the woman from the Taliban - there have been few examples of such cases. The militants put her into a fenced compound for two days before the police swooped in and plucked her to safety. She told the BBC about her ordeal. "After my husband divorced me, I went to my father's home where the Taliban would come day and night as unpaid guests. Unfortunately the whole area is controlled by the Taliban. "When my father, along with other villagers got fed up with this because they were concerned that the government forces would quiz them on why they were feeding and supporting the Taliban, they told them to go to the mosque and they would provide food for them there," she said. According to her, this angered the Taliban who, she says, "seized the opportunity to turn on me". In this case, Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Sidiq Siddiqi said that the police fought hard against the Taliban for two hours in order to rescue the woman and took her to a safe house where she will remain with her children. "I have decided to fight for my rights against my husband. Of course, I can't fight the Taliban - the government should deal with them but I will do what my husband did to me, I will fight him but I will do it via the courts." Sutara: Engaged at 11, mutilated at 30 Thirty-year-old Sutara spoke to the BBC from her hospital bed in the western city of Herat after being subjected to a savage knife attack by her husband. On Friday, 13 December, she says that her husband insisted that she hand over her jewellery to him so he could sell it to buy some drugs. She refused - so her husband hit the back of her head with a stone and she lost consciousness, she says. While she was unconscious, her husband stabbed her head several times, she says, and then he sliced off her top lip and cut off her nose. Sutara's four daughters, who range in age from three to 12, were at home at the time of the attack. She was taken to hospital and the children were taken to her mother to be looked after. Meanwhile, Sutara's husband ran away and he is still in hiding. Police are looking for him. Sutara says that once her husband is found, she wants some justice Interior ministry spokesman Sidiq Siddiqi said: "We have plenty of evidence against her husband so when he is found, and after the police have carried out a complete investigation, he will be handed over to the court and will end up behind bars. "Meanwhile we will send Sutara overseas to receive more medical treatment but sadly her children will have been traumatised to witness such a horrific attack." For many observers, the problem is that women are afraid to report violence because they know the law and its practice favours men. Farkhunda Zahra Naderi, MP says that this year there have been more instances of violence against women She said the trend was continuing because "men know they can get away with it" due a law designed to protect women not being fully implemented. "In addition, the Supreme Court in Afghanistan is male-dominated which filters down to the lower courts so women don't have a strong voice to get them justice. It's worrying because we have no clear definition of what will happen to women after 2014," Ms Naderi says. But these are just two recent cases that have come to public knowledge - many more go unreported and campaigners say the unfortunate truth is that the first case is all the more remarkable because the woman was rescued. Don't believe me that they're true? Here's the link: http://www.bbc.com... Even though in the first story the police managed to save the women please note that she was a mother. She had children. Children who would be left motherless if she was killed. And like the story states it does not happen a lot that they manage to save the victim. And in the second story the woman also had children. Her husband attacked her in the same house as his children and mutilated her. Her life is almost ruined. Sutara will always be left with the scars. I ask you to read these stories and the hundreds of others on the internet and tell me that its not women, but men who are more in need of liberation.
