Well, you know, the libs always have been sympathetic to the Muslims.
I once heard a "feminist" say genital mutilation was no problem because it was just a cultural thing.
I've said it before (and I said it a lot on that pro-life thread)....... liberals despise women. They want the worst for us.
That's why this utterance is not really surprising.
I think they are the anti-chivalrists, wanting to be absolved of any moral obligation to protect and respect women. It is not that women aren't quite capable, but the concept of revering motherhood or of 'women and children first' (in the lifeboats) requires some self-sacrifice which is just part of being a man. The traditional virtues of honesty, strength, self-sacrifice, protector, and provider, all are all anathema to the liberal who is selfish at his core.
Selfishness is not compatible with the traditional virtues which built Western Civilization, those of family and parenthood, independence, and fairness, nor is liberalism.
