Egypt's Islamists warn giving women some rights could destroy society

How much money and how many arms are we giving them again? And how many of you still think it is a good idea?

From the article:

Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood warns that a U.N. declaration on women's rights could destroy society by allowing a woman to travel, work and use contraception without her husband's approval and letting her control family spending.

The Islamist movement that backs President Mohamed Mursi gave 10 reasons why Muslim countries should "reject and condemn" the declaration, which the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women is racing to negotiate a consensus deal on by Friday.

The Brotherhood, whose Freedom and Justice Party propelled Mursi to power in June, posted the statement on its website, www.ikhwanweb.com, and the website of the party on Thursday.

Egypt has joined Iran, Russia and the Vatican - dubbed an "unholy alliance" by some diplomats - in threatening to derail the women's rights declaration by objecting to language on sexual, reproductive and gay rights.

Hmmmm. Perhaps we judge the hankyheads too harshly.

You know, things have been going downhill around here since August 18, 1920.
Well that will never happen here will it. Considering all the women in politics and the new born trend of "First Ladies" looking to run for office.

Giving women rights could destroy society? I've been saying that shit for decades...
Well, at least they're not stoning women in the streets............yet
If giving women those basic rights would destroy their society, that may not be a bad thing.
