18. Not weird

Just an honest laying out of my feelings, my perspective. I did not -- read it again and you'll see -- say that "only men" should be involved in determining the punishment of rapists.

Yet, 'spite of that fact, I stand accused of . . .what? Misogyny, certainly. But also, curiously, radical-muslim misogyny. (It is not completely beside the point to mention that under the rules of honor killing, at least as I've read in the Western media, it is very likely that, in a case such as this, the family would have murdered the girl, regardless whether her rapists were caught.)

What I'm saying is that you are wrong and have simply -- and prejudicially -- attacked my comment for something that is nowhere apparent in it.
