#1 "Women, including non-Muslims, are hereby advised not to go out of home without burqa. Seclusion has been made compulsory for you,"

Is is just me or does it sound like spokes-hole for Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen has an aroused reaction to burkas...

#2 Sounds like it's time for Bangla women to start carrying, and using, knives. Just put out a discreet police notice that non-burqua'ed women found to be carrying knives are not to be stopped for it, nor have their anti-rape device confiscated.

This could be accompanied by the suggestion that women who, in number, castrate men that scream epithets and threats at them, or otherwise menace them, will be treated with the same concern that the police have previously shown to victims of rape.

Society becomes a *lot* more polite when you don't know who is carrying a weapon or not.

#4 'moose, what's needed are guns AND knives. Guns to stop the sons of bitches. Knives - preferably slightly dull ones - to slowly castrate them after they are wounded.

#5 Guns are an ideal, and take an awful lot to popularize as a means of self-defense in an ordered way. Short knives, however, are a natural for women, who are usually brutalized at close range.

In the case of Bangla, what would evolve would be women in public in groups, now able to stop harassment cold with a few pokes.

And when women assert themselves this way, it drastically and quickly forces men to behave themselves. Soon, women learn that knives are useful tools, and that other tools can be used in place of knives, if need be.

This is a breakthrough realization. And when it happens, violence against women drops like a rock. Many men who would otherwise be violent against women now avoid them, and the great majority of men learn that they have to treat women well, if they expect to be treated well themselves.

#6 this so blows me away.
Don't these guys have access to porno sites online? What's the big deal about making the women wear this nonsense. Do they feel they are that weak as to be tempted? I don't think I will ever understand this type of thinking.
I like the gun and knife combo here ;)
