ISIS Fighters Terrified Of Being Killed by Female Troops (runs from Kurd Pershmega 2nd Battallion)

21. All the article says is that ISIS has female enforcers...

Who enforce "the rules" amongst the female population. Those women aren't fighters, and that shit wouldn't phase the Kurds, anyway. Kurds are quite egalitarian within their own cultural boundaries and limitations--it's a rather odd tension, there.

The ISIS enforcers act a lot like the "dress code" police on the streets of Iran..."Daughter, your manteau is too tight, your scarf should cover your hair, blah, blah, blah..." They aren't coming over the hill shooting at anyone. The Kurdish fighters, though--they'll mow ya down.

The sexism/misogyny that ISIS feels is REAL. It's not just ISIS, either--it's a commonly stupid attitude held by a number of ignorant nitwits in the region.

I could offer a few suggestions to really get those guys' goats, but this is DU and some folks looking for a fight might take my remarks the wrong way. Suffice it to say that they are especially terrified of women who are doing what comes naturally on a monthly basis, and that reality could be exploited if they had a mind to so do.
