#1 The amusing irony is that in any society, women vote much like the men in their family anyway, the exception being single women who live away from their families.

#2 Anonymoose, it could be as well: "Men vote much like the women in their family anyway"

#3 I think that the changing of ways in the middle east is tied to the liberation of woman from the chattal role that they are in now. And I am not talking about abortion and lesbian rights. The so-called feminists have been pretty silent about women's situations in the ME.

#5 Not this so-called feminist, AP. But you are correct that many of the lefty-stripe feminists are silent about women's rights when standing up for the rights would conflict with their liberal identification (systematic rape in Darfur, for example-"we can't fight for justice for those women, because that would put us on the same side as George Bush").

#6 A Saudi man was interviewed last night at the polling place. He said he brought his young daughter along tp show that women needed to be able to vote as well as men.

#7 DB-And that's pretty remarkable--almost unbelievable for a man in that part of the world. I hope that these elections mark a turning point and that fellows like that man run for office.

Unfortunately, my hopes are likely to be dashed. Wahhabiism, to me, is the scurge of our times. Do we imagine that it will be going away in our lifetimes with mere elections?

#8 Some light relief: I'm going to go and cut a cake in half and ask my 8 yr old which is the bigger half. I bet she knows the answer.

#9 Wow Moose. In my family, voting is a zero-sum game. The women and men always vote opposite. Mars/Venus and all. "But he has bad hair. If he'd just get a decent cut." "But woman, who cares about his hair, the times call for a fighter and he is one." "I don't care about that, you better get him to the salon."

#10 Not to be sexist but unfortunately for the feminists women in many iff not all human societies see the world in terms of family and numbers of children - as a well-known, Left
Liberal, female senior journalist of the White House Corps was quoted as saying, "...Women view and possess honor by having children.", or words to that effect! The Left and PC says Americans must be afraid to say or argue such statements - the Left and LeftMedias can rail ags culture or cultural perceptions vv the role of women, but they need a lot more power than what they've got to fight God, Nature, and ags Women's natural gender-based inclinations itself.
