Egypt warns giving women some rights could destroy society

Gotta keep the women under wraps and under control, or society will implode!! :lol:


(Reuters) - 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.

The Muslim Brotherhood said the declaration would give "wives full rights to file legal complaints against husbands accusing them of rape or sexual harassment, obliging competent authorities to deal husbands punishments similar to those prescribed for raping or sexually harassing a stranger."

Free the Islamic women of the world!!!

Islamic men will tell you that Islamic women don't need freeing. The men tell you this, as so many women aren't allowed to speak up about their rights. The women 'choose' to live the way they do, and the men are only protectors. :rolleyes:

Here's the part that gets me:

Oh my, the horror, the women can now protect themselves from abuses?
