    Police clashed with demonstrators and arrested dozens in Bangladesh as a hard-line group enforced a paralyzing general strike Monday protesting a new policy giving women equal inheritance rights.

    The protesters, mostly students of Islamic schools, smashed vehicles and set fire to a fuel station and attacked a convoy of devotees on their way to an Islamic shrine in southeastern Bangladesh, according to police, news reports and witnesses.

    You are thinking in terms of a forward thinking society. This is a backward thinking society.

    Sorry Martin, I'm going to disagree this time and say that this is not about religion.

    It's about men, enjoying their "superior" position in this society, not wanting things to change. Religion is just an excuse.

    I can show you a few thousand anti-abortion protesters, if you need a decent wake-up call.

    It's hardly the same is it Ice-owl?

    Ah, I get it. Smashing and burning cars isn't okay, but harassing and stalking women and as they leave an abortion clinic and uttering death threats to clinic workers is just fine.

    Is that what I said, or is that your point?

    My point is that by saying it's not the same, you're ignoring a whole other kind of violence.

    Your comparisons are wildly inequitable.

    Of course they are. In one instance, people are destroying things that can be replaced. In the other, people are hurting other people. Both in the name of gender-based repression. The only real difference here is that one is happening in another country, and the other is happening here.

    Think about it... even though women bring children into this world, is "anti-abortion" really gender-based repression?

    Yes, it absolutely is. Only women can have children, and thus it is gender-based repression.
