Haha, yeah - and then I added like 20913i294u34232 paragraphs of long-winded explanation.

Right, and I agree with that part! The part I don't agree with is how it's framed. It's a ridiculous false equivalency, in my opinion.

Ahhhh, that's an interesting take on it, and I definitely see where you're coming from. That WOULD bother me if that were case. :)

There's not a ton of data on this, unfortunately, but I learned in a class on the Middle East taught by a preeminent Middle Eastern scholar that while it may not be de jure enforced, it is de facto enforced in a variety of regions ( I should also add that he took pains to point out the…
