The following is a quote from Ahmadinejad. Full article here http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/09/25/iran-un.html

| "the world is facing organized attempts to destroy families by breaking the boundaries of chastity and decency, and powerful media owners who exploit the precious existence of women." |
Now obviously I dislike the man for all that he is but sometimes he does say things have have an air of truth about them. Avoiding all the other issues that surround this man, let me ask...
If you were from a country that somehow existed perfectly between the two extremes, which societies treatment of women would you find more offensive?
As much as we abhor their treatment of women, what do you think they think of us? By no means am I a prude but I have to imagine that they think as little of us as we do of them. |

| I find them both offensive. In one it is encouraged that women be used as objects and in the other it is encouraged that women are highly respected in some ways but not enough to give us equal rights in some scenarios...it's a catch 22 for me. |
