NYTimes Writer, Alissa J. Rubin downplays a lifetime of rape as a “custom” in Muslim lands

The front page of the New York Times ran this header on Dec.2: "For Afghan Women, Justice Runs Into Unforgiving Wall of Custom." Custom? The story was about a woman put into prison because she was raped. The price of her freedom: a lifetime of being fucked by her rapist, as in... to get out of jail and gain her so-called freedom, she would have to marry her rapist. Calling this “Custom” is mad, insane really. And the rest of the story is a study in an Obama-like apology tour to the Muslim “customs” of female enslavement. Yet another Liberal Dude Nation’s perp walk of shame. We give you this excerpt:

But when the announcement {of the rape victim’s conditional release} also made it clear that there was an expectation that the woman, Gulnaz, would agree to marry the man who raped her, the moment instead revealed the ways in which even efforts guided by the best intentions to redress violence against women here run up against the limits of change in a society where cultural practices are so powerful that few can resist them, not even the president.
The solution holds grave risks for Gulnaz, who uses one name, since the man could be so humiliated that he might kill his accuser, despite the risk of prosecution, or abuse her again.

Aghumm: The “solution” ??? Really is THAT the word Liberal Dude Nation New York Times wants to use. Solution by definition is “an answer to a problem.” In what world would any sane person describe forcing a woman to be raped over and over and over and over again, a lifetime of rape, by the man who had raped her, a “solution”?

And notice the repeated assertion that women are simple subjected to “cultural practices” rather than female enslavement and misogyny. For Liberal Dude Nation members it is imperative to never come within a country mile of bashing Muslim Misogyny by making very sure not to call Muslim Misogyny, by its righful name: Misogyny.

The article even goes so far as to assert that “…Gulnaz’s pardon is a victory…” despite the fact the women, Gulnaz was forced to give birth to her rapist’s child in a filthy prison. What sane person would use the word “victory” even with qualifiers to describe the fate of a women raped, forced to give birth to her rapist’s child and then to get out of a 12 year prison sentence, be force to be fucked and abused by her rapist over the course of a lifetime, trapped in marriage?

The article brings physical pain to a reader when the moronic and idiotic writer of the story, so-called journalist Alissa J. Rubin, says that “…a judge…offered [Gulnaz] a way out: marry her rapist.
What writer of sane and sound mind would not write something along the lines of: in testament to the horrific human rights abuses women in Afghanistan labor under, Gulnaz’s had only two options: to rot in prison because she’d have the misfortune to be raped or to leave prison a virtual prisoner of the male who’d raped her.

Fuck You Liberal Dude Cowardette Alissa J. Rubin, who was so busy jerking off her Liberal Dude Nation editors she forget to wear her spine to work that day, that horrible day she penned this horrific story that in deference to the need of Liberal Dude Nation to feel so cool about themselves, to never criticize the Muslim “culture” of female enslavement and human rights violations, that they are willing to not see the misogyny so great, so horrifying, so vengeful it is blinding to any sane person.

In Nazi Germany is was anti-Semitism, in the South it was racism in Afghanistan it is "custom." On a clear day, Liberal Dude Nation is blind when it comes to women.

What difference is there

What difference is there between a person who hears a rape taking place on a street and does not call the authorities and the writer who sees a sentence of rape and calls is customary.

six of one, half a dozen of

six of one, half a dozen of the other

There is no way that any

There is no way that any progressive writer would suggest that the KKK just had cultural issues not racism at its heart. How progressive is it to say misogyny is a culture?
