Women's rights...

I woke up this morning and one of the articles in my mail box dealt with women’s rights in Pakistan. This is one of those “touchy” subjects, because the truth of the fact is, I don’t really give a damn what religion people follow, or how beautiful the religion is supposed to be, but men screwed it up and carried it out the wrong way, (or any other crappy excuse…) When it violates human rights, there’s no excuse, period. When you see women stating that they were gang raped to settle some bullshit family dispute, had their first born basically murdered because the in-laws made the decision not to send her to the hospital, or had some SOB pouring acid all over their faces, one cannot help wonder, “WTF is this?” “What in the hell is wrong with this world?” And last, but not least, “Damn… I’m lucky I wasn’t born there!” And let’s not even go on a different tangent, and get into cutting off female genitalia, or having young boys drinking sperm out of old farts… It’s too early in the morning for that … So before anyone has a conniption over this, this is my thought. If your religion is not killing anyone, or violating anyone’s rights to be, carry on and light up your candles. If the excuse is that “people” over the years distorted your religion and they are now going around raping women or doing any other zealot nonsense, light up some candles again, do some serious praying, and change that situation… What’s not right is seeing human beings being treated inhumanly for the sake of any religion.

That will do!
