Abu Wabu

I've been thinking about this for a while now since I got the business from my family for not censoring my own writing to reflect their values rather than mine. You know how that goes...first it's a suggestion, then it's a hypocritical guilt thing, and when they can't control you with guilt and hypocrisy, they hang up in a self-demeaning huff and then commiserate over the phone with others about how angry you are.

I don't know how I know that, but I do.

Meanwhile, you carry on typing and listening to the radio.

In the wake of the story about the Buffalo guy who removed his wife's head for some reason or another having, funnily enough, something to do with his honor hardy har, I present these thoughts from a member of the Muslim community on the valuable contribution made by Arab women to society. Or not:

Women are incomplete in our society. They will remain incomplete and will always be considered inferior. Their participation in literary clubs, journalism training courses, conferences and seminars would lead to them mixing with men.

This would open the door for seduction, a source of corruption. Women would then become shameless and coveted by men.

Dare I utter the name of the organ of record?

Now: if I criticize the above as I criticized in a past post the wildly barbaric murders of American contractors at the bridge to Fallujah by a group of angry Arabs, only to have an obviously legitimate defining characterization separated out by a manipulative weasel who then frames it to someone else as proof that I hate all Arabs rather than that I disapprove of murderous misogyny, and then am admonished by that manipulated someone else for being such a horrible, vindictive racist, would that even remotely have the slightest thing to do with the point I am making?

Then why would I care?
