Another woman was killed in Pakistan.





All the suspects except her father escaped arrest.





‘Huge legal flaw’



The government does not compile national statistics.

    It must really burn the Christofascists here in the US that Pakistan is so far ahead of us in treating women as disposable goods, its biblical!

    Dear Madem!

    This is my first comment on your blog, but I have been reading your articles since long time… I’m your biggest well-wisher.. You write for feminsm and secularism, that’s why I’m interested in your blogs…

    I know we most of Indians are selective secular, but I’ve no doubt about your ideology, you are real secular…

    I’m not and atheist, but support your thinking, because I don’t believe in Temple-mosque.. I don’t believe in religious superstitions.. So I like your opinions…

    God bless you… (I know you don’t believe in blessings, but I do.)

    busterggi @ #1 has it right.

    Won’t someone please consider the feelings of the Christian leadership?

    The Christians, particularly the dominionists, are green with envy. Muslim fundamentalists run entire countries, exercise hegemonic control over every aspect of culture and life in the country, and graciously collect power, money and praise in return. Muslim and Hindu fundamentalists can literally get away with murder while the Christian have to satisfy themselves with heaping on verbal abuse and pulling the strings of lawmakers and the rubes. It just isn’t fair.

      I feel for the women who are born into these pathetic, barbaric, and anti-human rights countries. Most of them are literally “born to die” by the evil hands of “men.” These guys are born out of a woman’s body, yet harbor so much hate for us. See, in America, lies are perpetuated by media, films, books, etc. that men really do love women. I, as a staunch feminist do not believe this. Newspapers, violent pornography, and men’s hateful attitudes and growing violent crimes against women tell a much different story. Men even BUY “brides” from other countries, because they don’t want to deal with, and are afraid of fed up, American radical feminists like me! I strongly believe that men, if they had the chance, would treat us even worse than how they treat us now. They desire 24/7 access to our bodies, and when they cannot have that, some rape. I am sick and tired of reading about “honor killings,” rapes, stonings, etc. of women. I wasn’t aware of these horrible practices done by men to women until the media started exposing what is going on in other countries. Ignorance is bliss…Fuck you evil men who kill, hurt, silence, and rape us!

    How can such barbarous acts be stopped? What will it take to change these brutal, backward cultural attitudes? I live in Canada and I am suspicious of the immigrants from India and Pakistan in fear that they might harbour the same misogyny so prevalent in their former culture. I fear they will pass their sick values on to their children now growing up in Canada. I absolutely do not want the gender balance that Canada is renowned for to be challenged by a sub-human disregard for women and while no South Asian immigrant would ever be allowed to reach the depth of depravity that would allow the stoning of a woman to death, misogyny can and does express itself in extreme violence against women. Statistics show that even in Canada violence against women is elevated in South Asian communities and we have had some cases of so-called “honour” killings. Such a misnomer— there is no honour in these acts of violence and the people who participate in them or otherwise support these practices are not fit to be called human.
