Do we really know how lucky we are, we female kitties of the modern world?
I mean really lucky, more fortunate than one can even imagine in that we do not have to live in Afganistan! God knows what they do to female kitties, when right now they are trying to reinstate the procedure of stoning women to death who have committed adultery or are suspected of breaking the insane, so-called “religious” laws of the Taliban.
Can you imagine?
And who is judging these women anyway. Often they desert their husbands because of being beaten or worse, or they desert their families because of an arranged marriage that was simply not in their plans, thank you very much!
And the judges of these unfortunate accused are MEN. Their interpretation of the law is only theirs and often has no truthful basis for the accusation.
I don’t even want to get into the tests for virginity…well, you can imagine (plus you can read hundreds of articles on this from every source possible).
If a kitty had to go through a “virginity” test, you bet your boots the examiner would not see the light of day again…
Yeah, YOU. I’m talkin’ to YOU, Taliban.
The ironic thing is that women’s rights in Afganistan have come a long way, baby—women are now in government, have high-level jobs, drive cars and so much more, but little by little the radical Islam contingency is trying to change the laws back to the old ways—stoning, wife-beating, rape as a right, not a criminal act.
Need I myow more?
It’s nap time for me.
Sometimes just pondering these enormous issues take its toll, and this is one of those times.
I just hope that the women of Afganistan wise up to what is happening, and take their show on the road!
Here we come! Move over, Taliban.
