re: #17 lawhawk

It won’t help when they have been brought up in this culture and they don’t see it as an issue. They’ve been treated like chattel, they’ve been told they are chattel, they believe they are, in fact, chattel.

In a situation that would be too long to explain here, I was actually told by a Burka wearing “wife” that she felt sorry for me, and others like me, because I could be left, I could be alone. She felt security in her situation - being owned.

I don’t want to say this is they way all women feel - but I would bet on gut feel alone, it’s pretty pervasive.
