I was making a hyperbole to show how ridiculous that line of thinking is.
Hyperboles and strawmen are not logical arguments and as such do not logically counter an argument. Your statement still doenst mean anything.
The problem with your line of thinking is that you think Women are somehow special and should be allowed more privilege.
Please quote me again and tell me where I have said that "women are special" and should be given "privilege" ? I am not sure if you even read my post. I am talking about freedoms that a person MUST have. Be it a man or a woman. Freedoms are every person's right, they are not privileges. Of course in Islamic societies it is a privilege indeed.
Let me ask you, do you think laws are backwards? do you think it is okay to make laws that say "you cannot do x"
Please answer that with yes or no.
If you believe in laws then how can you say such silly things like we should let them do what they want.
I believe that neither men nor women should be allowed to do anything they want.
would you agree with that statement?
I will not let you lead the argument to the conclusion you want. I will state what I stated earlier. Women should have social, political, legal, sexual, professional and educational freedoms. So should men. If a law is based on religion and if it mandates a particular code of conduct based on gender, then yes, such laws are backward and wrong.
I did look at Canada and it's not a rose garden here either. Canada has similar divorce rate and almost as bad rate of single mothers. As for cause of divorce, well lets just look at the stats, 75% of divorces are initiated by the women.
Yeah, so women have the freedom to free themselves of abusive men or of relationships they dont want to be in. You think women initiate a divorce for the heck of it? What do you know about each of those cases of divorce, the relationship between the woman and the man that she divorce etc? I am sure you dont. Then how can you make a judgement? I have seen tons of women staying in marriages where they actually need to divorce their husbands, but they dont for the sake of kids and what not. Which finally ends up being harmful for them.
And yes, my understanding is rudimentary, I mean I only back up what I say with stats and studies, not feeling and emotional crap
Extrapolating a statistic to extraordinary claims that freedom for women is what causes all social evils does not show any understanding of "stats and studies". It merely shows that your understanding of relationships and social issues is rudimentary.
BTW, who is the government to "allow" me to do anything? Does the government own me? NO they dont. So they should not make the rules for everyone. If I want to go to the beach naked, or rob you, or make money by allowing toxic dumping in my neighborhood with kids then you and the government should get over it and not lose your mind. Just don't come to my neighbor hood. However the government doesn't have the right to tell me that I am "Wrong" I am not.
Strawman and irrelevant comparisons. I am talking about laws based on religion setting standards for people based on gender. You are talking about robbing and toxic waste dumping, which doesnt even compare. As for going to the beach naked, yes the govt should not bother if you wanted to sunbathe naked. Such beaches exist in a lot of places. However this doesnt mean people run around naked, which will be a stupid extrapolation, the kind you seem to be making.
BTW, you are so right, I mean in America I can murder, rape and rob anyone I want. That is why America is so amazing and great. Us poor Muslims have to live by silly rules.
I am not sure if you even live in the west. Do you?
On a serious note, I can get arrested for going naked out in public
So why do you think only Women should have the right to go naked?
This is where your understanding fails. This is not about getting "naked". This is about FREEDOMS. Ill repeat it once again. Women should have social, political, legal, professional, educational AND sexual freedoms. Religion should NOT dictate what they can or cannot do when it comes to personal freedom. (dont come up with the murder, rape and robbing analogy, it doesnt follow and it is a strawman). If it does, then yes, it is extremism and it is wrong. Period. Also, please quote me where I said, they can go out naked in public? There is a minimum amount of decency everyone everywhere adheres to. I was talking about topless beaches, which exist. And if women wanna sunbathe topless then that is not against the law even in the US, in a lot of places. It is their prerogative, their choice. There, they dont dictate gender roles and behavior for women based on religion. Islamic law does, and hence it is backward and wrong.
