barcoding because we can

haha.. i have to say that i agree with you. ive been scared for the world since a while now and coming to bryn mawr has only reinforced the differeces between the world i know and the one i live in presently.

last week while talking to a friend of mine from pakistan about the issue of gender in islam, i was introduced to the concept that even though women are treated as inferior beings in many muslim countries, in the koran they are viewed as superior. According to my friend, women are sexually superior because they have more control over their sexual desires and need to give into temptation. however, men are not that strong due to which a woman must cover her body and veil herself, to help a man stay true to his religion.

the concept as a whole intruges me, the way society labels women and the reasons they make for doing so. the thoughts in my head arent coherent yet, so i will refrain from typing anymore until i have some control over them.
