ACCORDING TO THEIR 1998 DECLARATION OF SENTIMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN. THEY DECLARE,"We bring passion, anger, hope , love and perseverance (along with jock itch) to create this vision.
"We envision a world where woman's equality and a women's empowerment to determine our own destinies is a reality;"
"We envision a world where women have equal representation in all decisions making structures of our societies;"
"We envision a world where social and economic justice exist, where all people have the food, housing, clothing, health care and education they need;"
"We envision a world where there is recognition and respect for each persons intrinsic worth as well as the rich diversity of the various groups among us;"
"We envision a world where non-violence is the established order;"
"We envision a world where where patriarchal culture and male dominance no longer oppress our earth;"
"We envision a world where women and girls are heard, valued and respected;"
NOW THAT THE FANTASIES ARE OVER, LET US ASK OUR SELVES WHAT HAVE THIS ORGANIZATION OF SOME 500.000 WOMEN DONE FOR THEIR SISTERS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES SUCH AS SAUDI ARABIA?
THEY TALK ABOUT THE WORLD YET I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE SISTERHOOD FLYING IN MASS TO SAUDI ARABIA, HOLDING MASSIVE GATHERINGS WITH BARED HEADS, BURNING BRAS, WEARING SHORTS AND HALTER TOPS IN DOWNTOWN RIYADH.
HERE IS A COUNTRY WHOSE GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL ORDER IS ONE OF EMPIRICAL PATRIARCHAL ORDER, WHERE PURDAH OR SEPARATION OF WOMEN AND MEN IS THE LAW.
ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING AMONG THE LAWS CONCERNING WOMEN ALONG WITH THE BREST FEEDING TO ADULT MALES IS THAT IN COURT THE TESTIMONY OF ONE MAN EQUALS THE TESTIMONY OF TWO WOMEN.
COME ON SISTERS HEAD FOR SAUDI ARABIA AND SHOW SOME TRUE COURAGE!
