Latest post of the previous page:

You should use the quote tags, Johnny (highlight the text and click on the quote button above the text box). I've edited your post to add it because originally it looked like the quote was your own.

In any event, it's a non-sequitur. Nobody is telling hijab-wearing women that "they don't really know what they think". The reason I hate women who choose to wear the hijab when they don't have to is because it is a symbol of women's oppression and an insult to all of us who have spent our lives fighting this.

Then there's Computer Engineering Barbie:

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Ok, slightly better than burkha barbie...at least she gets to see the computer screen as she's working but once she leaves the office cubby, she'll have to don the veil.

I'm still unhappy with the image because only a tiny, tiny minority of women actually look like barbie, proportionally. And those were the ones who can afford plastic surgery! Could we please have a barbie look realistic in weight, hair-colour, and eye proportion?

Did the survey, btw.

I find this an utterly bizarre photograph.

What is bizarre to me most of all, apart from the obvious discrepancy between the women who appear to be calmly waiting in spite of the fracas around them, are the shoes. Very western and very revealing. I was under the impression that no skin was to be showing under those burqas.

Yes, that's what I thought as well. Just look at those heels. And the ankles!

I came across a couple more pictures of Barbie that I felt just had to be posted. I'll do one at a time so we can appreciate each one ;)
