You're right. The six stonings in Iran that took place between 2006 and 2008, as well as the seven women currently in Iranian jail under stoning sentences is a clear example of the savage oppression of women.

Unfortunately, oppression of women is worldwide phenomenon, and two years' worth of stonings in Iran is just two days worth of female oppression here in the U.S., measured in homicides alone. Unfortunately, there will always be chauvinists like yourself who will choose to be selective about which women they want to show solidarity with and which ones they choose to ignore, in order to back up your biased and ignorant view of Islam and the Middle East.

So yes, Toony, you ARE the quintessential example of a colonial feminist as I described it: A person who couldn't care less about feminism at home, but suddenly champions feminist values when the topic comes up to the rest of the world.

Thanks for proving my point.

Wow, nice research. I'm impressed.
