PodgeyRam Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Pretty sure the whole point of human rights is that you have them, no matter what you do. You could kill the Queen and teabag her corpse, all on live TV, and you'd still be guaranteed the human right of a fair trial. Human rights cannot and should not be thrown away just because we disagree with the person they're being applied to. The moment that happens, is the start of a slippery slope.

An alternative is the follow the policy of the Indian province of Kerala, namely placing an emphasis on making sure women are educated to a high level. As a result, they are more likely to pursue careers and the birth-rate drops significantly. In countries that see women as wives and mothers only...birthrates tend to be much higher. Overpopulation is a huge problem globally and Kerala should really serve as an example to the rest of the world. A better solution than the Chinese method in my opinion.

I believe it was Christopher Hitchens who said that the only true way of alleviating poverty is the empowerment of women - by educating them, sexually empowering them and allowing them to get out the house and work.

On that I would agree with him. Although when you think about it....it's fairly obvious that allowing girls/women equal access to education can only be good for a society. And yet in too many parts of the world, it's still not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does yes, nothing worse than seeing stretched faces on celebs trying to stay young. What I dont get though is the current thinking of younger women pumping their lips full of crap.
