Erdoğan tells women what they’re there for
Erdoğan spoke up today for the benefits of overpopulation.
He is quoted here as saying:
We will multiply our descendants. They talk about population planning, birth control. No Muslim family can have such an approach.
On International Women’s Day, March 8, the President said he believed that:
A woman is above all else a mother.
In a speech peppered with quotes from from the Koran on the virtues of motherhood, he stressed that women cannot be freed:
By destroying the notion of family.
It’s a win-win, you see. More submitters for the religion, and fewer rights for women.
While urging his compatriots to protect the family, the President also insisted that:
Women are not equal to men. Our religion [Islam] has defined a position for women: motherhood. You cannot explain this to feminists because they don’t accept the concept of motherhood.
He said he believes women and men are not equal “because it goes against the laws of nature” and because of differences in their “characters, habits and physiques.”
“You cannot place a mother breastfeeding her baby on an equal footing with men,” Erdogan said, because women cannot do the same work as men “as in communist regimes,” where women are given a shovel and told what to do.
This is against their delicate nature.
Sure. They’re delicate flowers, plus they’re stupid, so nursing a baby is really all they can do, frankly.
Is anyone prepared to defend Turkey as the prime example of a secular, liberal democratic, Muslim-majority country? There’s not much time left.
What a disgusting ignoramus.
‘He said he believes women and men are not equal “because it goes against the laws of nature” and because of differences in their “characters, habits and physiques.”’
I am getting more and more resigned to the idea that we will never be rid of this thinking. That feminism will never not have a reason for existing. How very depressing.
Heh. Today’s Freefall speaks to this.

Erdogan is so stupid he makes Dubya look like Leonardo da Vinci.

Ah but tens of millions of Turks vote for the guy, and listen to what he says.
That the guy is a knuckle-dragger changes nothing of the fact that the future belongs only to those who show up for it.
That Erdogan just might be the way of the future leaves me utterly depressed.
Speaking of “delicate natures”…
