#1 What would stop 90% of this crap would be an underground of women and girls, each of who are willing to die to stop this abuse--and even more willing to kill their abusers.

It is suicide to kill a rapist in Iran, but if the rape is discovered, your life is forfeit anyway.

So kill the rapist. Every girl in Iran must hear that message from another girl. Even if they are not brave enough to do it themselves, they will know that it can be done. And this knowledge is power.

Once such rapists start to die, no amount of governmental gynacide will restore the system. No rapist will ever again feel as safe. And how many women can the government hang for being raped, or for killing a rapist, until all women rise up against them?

#2 Anonymoose, few women think like this, not even in hyper-feminist hotspots. Its a fact of nature that womens rights have never been won by women but granted by men.

#3 You must have missed all those self-defense courses set up for women in the 70s and 80s, buwaya. Or the rapid rise in women learning to shoot well, since 9/11 (not me - I've been shooting for years).

#4 But as long as no Korans are being looked at the wrong way or cartoons of the Phofit shown its ok right?

-- MSM and the UN.

#5 There is an expression that "When women stand up, men sit down". Any resistance at all increases the degree of difficulty by a factor of 10. Eventually, it just becomes too hard to try.

#6 Don't misunderstand - the idea of a sex slave trade makes me sick and angry.

But I don't get the sequences described:

- Iranian Gov't knows everything
- Mullahs endorse sex slave trade
- Busted sex slave rings involved government officials

Who is it doing the busting of the rings if not government or Mullahs' security forces? Am I reading this wrong?

#7 I am all for manditory capitol punishment of any man involved in sexual slavery. This totally disgusts me. One of the reasons I am for a legal and regulated Sexworkers sex for hire. It cuts these scum right out of the equation. It also insures that only women are involved are those who want to be.

#8 Hyper is right. While I am not questioning the good intentions of Ms. Hughes, something about this article doesn't add up. Lost in translation, perhaps?

#9 SM, what is missing in the article is the factor of a turf war. Everyone wants a share, but big mullahs want a big share.
