Do you think it is fair to force women (in middle eastern countries) to cover up head to toe and divert their eyes from even loking at other men?
i think the assumption is, that if you cannot see the womans curves, you cannot be tempted by her, but why then not make the men divert THEIR eyes from ever looking at women not their wives?

It seems to me, completely hypocritical!

I understand there were even times when young girls would have their private parts seared or cut off, in attempt to control their urges, and keep them from straying. Again, I think...why are the women being punished for an act that usually requires a man & a woman to commit together?

Do you think the men should divert? Walk behind to woman? Have their "urges" controlled if infidelity is such a concern they stop at nothing to prevent it?

    I am a debate virgin...this is my first post.

    How about cutting their penises off if they can't control it? Hmmm...that could work in our country too.

    I bet those are some crazy &*^$%es in bed...to be covered up all day, then to let lose when the sun goes down. LOL

    On a more serious note, I feel badly for the women that take that kind of life. Granted, that's the only way of life they "know," but what about when they move to America and still live that way? To be that devoted to that kind of life that you could never wear a tank top or get a tan. To not have an opinion on what you wear, how you wear your hair, anything that could be considered "vain."

    OMG! What a start!
    LMAO!
    I agree it is unfair (I think I deciphered "unfair" in that-lol), that men seem to have a free pass in tat culture, while women carry all of the burden.
    I also agree, that moving from that culture to another so different, must feel even more unfair.
    I can only hope, that what we hear of happening in other countries, doesn't continue in ours (western) so that at the very least, there is no psysical tortures inflicted on them here!

    I ALWAYS thought it unfair that the women pay for the MEN'S ability to keep thier eyes to themslweves BUt also a tad unfair to some men as women here are uncovered and not all men are wlaking around trying to boink them...Simply seeing a shin or an arm SHOULD not sexaully excite MOST men, so i find the whole thing disconcerting to BOTH sexes but agree the women pay a MUCH bigger price.
