Sharia Law - A mysogynistic trip back to the dark ages. :(

As a liberated, strong female who is living testimony of the blood, sweat and tears of the following ladies (see footnote below), I am fucked if I am about to piss all that down the river because of some fuckwit Sharia Law.

I mean what the fuck???

1.       A Muslim man can marry who he wants (albeit atheist, agnostic or polytheist) but a Muslim woman can only marry a ‘Muslim’ man? 

This misogynistic shit sets the ascent of woman back hundreds of years.

How convenient that it fails to recognise and acknowledge that it was not until the appreciation of women that things actually started to move intellectually forward in society?

2.       The minimum age of marriage for a Muslim girl is 9. For a male it is 12. The girl’s father/guardian may arrange the marriage of the girl, without her consent, before she reaches adulthood. 

In the UK, and in a progressive society, this is called Child Abuse. 

3.       An adult man can marry four women but a woman can only marry one man.

????? – Er, I don’t think so.

4.       A man can divorce his wife without reason. The only reasons a woman can divorce is either if her husband is impotent, missing or biologically related to her. 

Nothing about subjugation, slavery, abuse or genital mutilation then?

Crime & Punishment:

1.       It is more offensive to insult the notion of ‘Allah’ than it is to murder, bodily injure or cause damage to someone’s property.

2.       Theft is punished by decapitation. Regardless of the circumstances than led to the thief to steal.

3.       ‘Zina’  - having illicit relations is punishable by 100 lashings and stoning to death.

4.       ‘Apostasy’ – Failing to believe in Islam in the way ‘they’ want you to believe it - Punishable by death.

Listen, I open my arms to people in need but I will stand up and fight to my last breath against any fucker having these perverted, twisted intentions against me or anyone I love.  

Emily didn’t throw herself under a horse for nowt and I ain’t gonna let any misogynistic regime piss all over her good intentions not one bit. 

Please, please educate and nourish yourselves with the endeavoured experiences of the following amazing ladies... Mughal Empress Nur Jahan, Margaret Sanger, Alexandra Kollonta, Charlotte Maxeke, Christine de Piza, Emily Davies, Laura Bassi, Lucretia Mott, Manuela Sáenz.. to name but yet a small few.

The not so pretty picture of globalisation

When I was a student, I once had to write a thesis on Globalisation. 

It didn’t mention slave labour, cruelty against humanity, governmental and commercial corruption, the sword-wielding hands of the IMF and the World Bank, the raping and exploitation of people’s countries, the capitalistic destruction of indigenous communities, the genocide of people for no good reason other than folklore and the ability to move shit, hide shit and dump shit on others on a global magnitude. 

‘Globalisation’ reinforced the illusion that networking with others was a positive thing.

We would all exchange goods and services in a free market, we would all prosper and we would all grow as a well nourished people-focused society. 

This ideology was sold to us on a gigantean scale because it was marketable and seductive. 

We could all achieve comfort and live well because we were drip-fed ‘pats on the back’ to relieve our social conscience because ‘we were helping others in deprived countries.’ 

Bullshit. 

Our capitalistic greed for material objects has destroyed everything and everyone. 

We’ve completely lost focus of what’s important and we’ve trampled on every fucking thing and everyone in our mission to do what we’ve been told is right for the ego. 

The only people who prosper are the people at the top of the hierarchy. 

The ones who don’t live the lives we lead, the ones who don’t sweat the blood and tears we do and the ones who have no conception of just what our lives are about. 

The very same people who exploit your good conscience and shit on it.
