Women have been targets for thousands of years. The point is, the women who have gained power recognize the extreme restrictive third world misogyny and control that reduce women to chattels subject to male control, no driving, always chaperoned, honour killed, sold off, bargained away etc. Etc.  How many young women have tried to escape the oppression and we're punished severely, even killed?  In Canada, that ideology of repression is not wanted or excepted and should not be tolerated.
