Desiring Machine

I don’t profess to know much about the middle east or Iran. I am opposed to an United States protracted military engagement with Iran. However, there is something rotten in Tehran and it goes under absurd “Chastity” provisions of Sharia Law.

Take the case of Atefah Sahaaleh, a 16 year old Neka girl who was hung to death for having sex with boys, and her greatest crime being raped by a man many times her senior. Whatever you think about this, the fundamental fact remains that there is a court in Iran willing to harshly prosecute women for actions and freedoms we westerners take for granted.

Watch this documentary and hopefully like me you will come to recognize how desperately parts of the middle east need to undergo a labium revolution. And in part this is why I really think our next president should be a womann and Hillary Clinton. Because it is a female head of the American state that would be sensistive to these realities and furthermore inspire women across the middle east to assert their right to freedom and liberty in their respective societies.

And while I focus on Iran, Saudi Arabia is not much better. Here is a more humerous take on the very serious difference in value systems. Because after all humor is generally the best way to attack the humorless.

For all you chastity nuts out there this how we roll where I live.

And yes, that is Wonder Woman out in front waving her lasso of truth among other things.
