Israel's "modesty" buses

This is just crazy/sad. "Positive discrimination" my ass.

What's up with these religious men? No matter what the religion, forcing women to live separately, covering themselves up-- I have this to say:

CONTROL YOUR HORMONES, you fuckers!

Just because you see a glimpse of ankle or women's hair, does not mean you must give in to your base desires and rape us! It's your fault for not evolving beyond the level of an adolescent chimpanzee, not ours!

See? I'm becoming a real Cellarite, now!

Evils of religion cont.
I say here that I am and anti-Zionist but not an anti-Semite becuase I don't belive in "semite". There is only one race and I think all religion is stupid and a fiction. There is no god, so no god gave shit to them.
One state shared by Palestine and Israel, Izzistine.

This is "get to the back of the bus you nigger-bitch and nothing else.
Ignorance is harmful, religion is harmful, it blinds us.

The BBC story appears to be a shameless rewrite of this NPR story, which gives more detail and less BBC bias.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up.

"Coercion of eroticism", give me a damn break!
Again, if you think of human flesh as sexual in a non-sexual context, you are perverted and need to get help ASAP before you rape someone or teach it to your kids.

public burning of see-through stockings? no education after high school for women?

WTF?

Taliban of Zion.

*sigh*

I hope this is just a phase and this whole "man dominance" thing goes away but it could get worse.

if they were really serious about protecting the women, they should let the women and children sit in the FRONT of the bus.

This is a country where young women (and young men) are required to serve a stint in the military. They can serve in combat missions but have to sit in the back of the bus?

Better yet, the men should stand, holding their packages, while the women sit... that is modest.

I realize you're joking, but I'll just mention that that would be just as bad. Lots of mysogyny is wrapped in empty courtesy to women.

This shit is to religion, as rape is to sex.

Don't these stupid people realize that there's a direct positive correlation between education and fair treatment of women and standard of living? That the economy, health, mortality rate, etc. all improve when you have a happy, well-treated HALF of your population?

Even the article says, that the men of this Jewish sect all stay home studying the Torah, and the women are the breadwinners. That's called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I just don't get it.

No, what they realize is that education makes their kids question them.

Aren't the hard-core religous right wingers exempt from service?

I think so, yes.
