Hey Gals, Check This Out - Muslim Women Divided On Whether To Obey Oppressive Or Really Oppressive Muslim Dress Codes [Video]

Over at Hot Air, AP comments on how the most progressive anti-sexist voices in the Muslim world often turn out to be men:

This is the second MEMRI clip in a week touching on “women’s issues” where the most progressive voice in the room has been a male one. Let’s hope that’s only because most Arab women are wary of speaking out against their oppressors, not because they’ve bought the line that this is for their own good. Because if it’s the latter, the long war is going to be even longer than we thought.

It's a little of column A, a little of column B. In Gaza, jihadists are threatening to murder any female newsanchor who refuses to behave like a good little third-class citizens and cover herself up totally. Female newsanchors, in turn, have not met these requests with good cheer:

On the other hand, there's this totally insane video of Iranian women doing the regime's dirty work. We linked to it last month, but here it is again just for some juxtaposition:

Suffice to say that things are not good.
