Defination of discrimination, equality and even rape come to mind. In some communities in Kenya, women expect their husands to beat them; many do not believe that there can be rape within marriage. Happily in many parts of Africa, big is beauiful :)

Hi, really interesting post. Thanks for sharing this information. When I first read Mission 6's guidelines I also felt like there was some "intention" to bias our research, although, we do not have any proof. In order to keep your valuable post safe, I mean I do not want it to suddenly "vanish" I want to propose you to make an exercise (very useful for real life) and modify the tone of some lines (don't delete).

Hi, really interesting post. Thanks for sharing this information. When I first read Mission 6's guidelines I also felt like there was some "intention" to bias our research, although, we do not have any proof. In order to keep your valuable post safe, I mean I do not want it to suddenly "vanish" I want to propose you to make an exercise (very useful for real life) and modify the tone of some lines (don't delete). I would change the ones that somehow point out responsibility for "mistakes" or "unsuccessful attempts to make this planet a better world". You could also transform the negative aura (not yours but the subject itself) into powerful momentum & focus the energy and intention of the post on suggesting and/or encouraging the others (us) to look for useful news elsewhere and also through the links that you kindly offer.From a formerly "emotional" writer; I feel better with <i>myself</i> now, I want to share this with you all. nomadhar i have been in ksa a…tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2010-04-10:4871302:Comment:880122010-04-10T19:10:37.702ZA.V.Koshyhttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/AVKoshy

WikiLeaks, Cryptome and The Smoking Gun aren't webpages that 'say anything'. they are full of REAL documents and REAL evidence. the evidence is out there; we must not give up and we must not discourage the searchers of TRUTH. closing the eyes, ears and mind does not cause evil to disappear.<br />

<br />
there are two main types of people that follow conspiracy theories. one is the type that wants something bigger to blame the ills of society on; they are often satisfied when a conspiracy is revealed to be true. the other is the TRUTH seeker; they are deeply saddened when they find out that a conspiracy is true. a comic book i have demonstrates this (and my) attitude; a journalist, having been tortured beyond help, is told that everything he wrote about is true by a person involved in the conspiracies. his reply: "how terrible."<br />
<br />
lots of terrible actions found to be true started as conspiracy theories. sometimes the search for a conspiracy turns up evidence that reveals something that isn't a conspiracy, but often that discovery of destructive or malicious actions was something that needed to be known.<br />
<br />
though i am very fond of evidence, i agree that not all TRUTHS have evidence. i LOVE my family and friends, but LOVE is not something that can be measured. i believe in gender equality, even though science reveals superficial physical differences (i.e. hips are set slightly differently). i also believe that working only from physical evidence can be harmful, especially when the conclusions are faulty. at one time in recent history (within 100 years), people measured heads and decided that women were inferior because their brains must be smaller.<br />
<br />
as far as people reading the Reformed Quran, it has been downloaded millions of times now. however, i am not sure about it reaching people in suffocating systems. that is the great challenge, and the woman involved is trying to work both inside and outside to spread the word.

Believe me, the day women are empowered, the world will shine<br />
like it has never shined before, but then again, feminism is not<br />
about the empowerment of women in my opinion,<br />
there is a reason why one of the founders of such movement,<br />
was a CIA operative.

ok let's take what mark is saying<br />
derrida, foucault, said and the others dont matter becasue they reduce reading to saying all books are equal<br />
but literature is a glorious enterprise etc...<br />
i may be wrong but are these statements scientifically vlaid<br />
both the one aobut theory and the one about literature<br />
i am going off tangent<br />
but not really<br />

but not really<br />
science shows us that women are physically the weaker sex<br />
if i am wrong on this someone correct me<br />
this is something like social darwinism<br />
which implies since the race came from africa the africans may be primitive and the later ones are evolved -- jesse owens was discriminated against inhitler's germany during the olympics oin the basis of evolutionary facts that seemingly suggested blacks are closer to primates that others on the shapes of skulls etc<br />
he went on to win four golds<br />
a feat repeated by carl lewis<br />
both were blacks<br />
does it mean that women are only good at feeding children becasue they have breasts and bearing children becasue they have wombs and men are only good at supplying semen and blacks are only good at sports<br />
every argument gets simplified<br />
we dont need websites and books or videos to think<br />
when we start thinking many issues come<br />
it would be simple to say i agree fully with nomadhar and do not agree at all with mark etc..<br />
but thought is multi faceted and keeps going on as a process<br />
of course in research we need to collect data,<br />
do a proper study that is rational, scientific and objective and then apply it to real ife to bring about change that we beleive is for the better<br />
but it is still provisional<br />
every study is based on certain parameters that omit certain others and as a result is already biased<br />
we can rely on facts<br />
but even facts have to be cjhecked<br />
how many people on earth<br />
how many of them are women<br />
what is the average per capita income of a woman? when compared to a woman?<br />
we take certain agencies on trust - even here we need a pluralistic approach - a mix of governmental, private and shared knoweldge finding method rather than a which side is right approach<br />
india is going to have a census now<br />
i would think the same census must be taken by state governments, national govenrment, a private agency fomr inside the country thats reputed and another from outside aand se if the results are the same<br />
ideallt they should be<br />
no one should manipulate data<br />
but what really happens in the world<br />
all of us does it all the time knowingly or unknowingly<br />
that is why i respect critiquing, criticism<br />
and inquiry<br />
it tells us to understand not only order, balance, harmony but also chance ,chaos, disharmony, atonality<br />
it is difficult to engage in pure thought without any bias<br />
but whether the questions is women's empowerment or vaccines one like a scientist has to try and another -someone like and artist -has to approach it irrationally<br />
this is the new world we are moving into<br />
one of shared perspectives and of of leaving no one out unless that person leaves by himself and even then he is free at any point to come back and join<br />
for instance mark has now left<br />
i didnt say he doesnt have valid points<br />
i said i dont understand<br />
but i prefer to carry the dialogue forward<br />
he can choose ot stay awy or rejoin<br />
women are to be empowered that is the issue here<br />
at present<br />
we agree there is inequality ,there is inequity<br />
what are them ethods, pedagogies, ways, applications or procedures the help them<br />
one is reading, researching yes<br />
what about practical methods?<br />
let's go on<br />
i like the idea of a reformed quran<br />
but will people read it , women and others in entrenched systems<br />
how to get them to read it?<br />
i really wish mark would come back but...<br />
the links matter<br />
they can be checked as to their veracity
