It seems that the misogyny of nomadic Arab tribes from the Dark Ages rules. Has it ever gone away?
In Iran, the conservative clerics apply strict misogynistic rules.
The same in Pakistan, the Maldives, Saudi and now in the USA.
The war against women is gathering pace.
Sexism rules.
Women are not just second-class citizens. They are slaves.
What a depressing world we live in – ruled by masculine religious bigotry from the stone age.
.This is supposedly the 21st century but you wouldn’t know it!!
Seemed appropriate with the Taliban taking over Afghanistan!! I feel so sorry for the women – back to being slaves.
Medieval
Medieval customs;
Beliefs passed down from ages past.
Medieval costumes:
From the splendid to absurd.
Medieval superstition;
Posing as the rational.
From the Dark Ages
Into the darkness of thought.
Shackling our breath
To a system that counts for nought.
Medieval thoughts
From medieval minds
Masqueradinf as sense.
Medieval values
From prescientific times
From there to thence.
Mass hallucinations
Reinforcing a multitude of sins.

I wrote this a year ago for all those who follow fundamentalist religions. Their intolerance is abhorrent. Their intransigence is exclusive.
They seem stuck firmly in the ancient past. They need to move on.
