Pseudo-femo-fascism??????!!!! ha ha ha !!!! we do not stop hearing from
this world! anyway let me tell you something: the behavior's change you're
talking about must come from inside the society. It's not you a foreigner,
with your
philosophy and theories , who will make the situation changing. You must
certainly know that when there is a cancer, we CUT all around without
hesitation. How could you dare to say that their wives are not responsible
when the husbands are prostitution's consumers ON A REGULAR BASIS as it
was said in one of the previous messages? The change must come from their
wives . I may understand a wife who has been cheated on but not a wife who
accepts a general practice of prostitution in her society otherwise she
has just to deal with the consequences. And please don't come to sing me
the same song: but the misery, the poverty, the ignorance, the difficult
life...all that make them so vulnerable, they have no choice and so on...
There is what we call a human dignity and someone who has a decent dignity
will never tolerate such practice in the name of poverty. I met people
very poor with no food but a dignity which makes them refusing such practice
and peoplle also very poor with no food but who send their daughters for
prostitution.
Well, these are my last comments on this subject. I wanted to make it
clear for you Mr Robbins because you completly misunderstood my previous
message. My spirit is far to be what you guessed. I am just more radical
in my solutions whether the situation concerns men or women. And as we say
in french: il faut couper a la racine pour palier au mal.
Sincerely yours,
Maryam.
