sexism, lets play.

209. one is EEOC law

which clearly you resent. You can support Amina's protest because she doesn't infringe on what you apparently perceive is men's god-given right to sit around making jokes on work time. That her act took place in a context of chronically hostile working environments for women in that field and repeated rapes at their conferences is of course meaningless, as is the fact that Richards life is in danger too. The difference is you don't think her life has value. You applaud Amina because you can externalize her concerns as part of a foreign world that fits the media stereotypes of Islam that you've been inculcated with in order to promote endless American war in the region. Amina standing up for her rights doesn't affect your life. Having to treat women as equal human beings in the workplace evidently makes you furious, even though labor law requires employers adhere to such policies. The fact that 1 in 3 women in this country are subject to battery and rape again doesn't merit a mention from you. Only evil Islam threatens women. When American women are raped and killed, it just isn't the same is it? So what if more women are killed in domestic violence than in Algeria. You can't attribute that to an external Islamic other, so you'll just ignore that inconsequential loss of life.

Thanks for illustrating my point so perfectly.
