| 2015-05-02 |
Women fighters at a Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant base on Mount Sinjar in northwest Iraq, just like their male counterparts, have to be ready for action at any time. Smoke from the front line, marking their battle against Islamic State, which launched an assault on northern Iraq last summer, is visible from the base. |

| #2 It might catch on. I'd be glad to see them take the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and impose a new rule: men to be forced to endure the lack of rights they've imposed on women. Men to be forced into burqas. Men shunted out of the classroom and off the board of Saudi Aramco. They can wash the dishes. |
