Topless Tunisian Activist Amina Tyler: 'Femen Are True Feminists But They Have Insulted Muslims'

85. I can simplify the whole thing

it all comes down to economics.

I think it's interesting that females in the former soviet states have been the focus of so much human trafficking and selling themselves into marriage, etc. since the oligarchs have gained power.

certainly not saying that the old system was good - but there are trade offs in every system.

and while the social democracies of northern europe have a fair share of problems - they're also nations with the best laws regarding the importance of child care (and parental leave), with a social safety net for all - even during this bad economic time.

Because care of the elderly and children have been the traditional roles of females for so long - I can't help but wonder why any conservative can claim he or she is pro-family when they seek to undermine the welfare of the most vulnerable among us.

oh wait - I know. Because they want to create an underclass that can be exploited - and that includes sexual exploitation. And this is always backed up by the most regressive religious entities everywhere in the world.

it all comes down to economics.
