Deeply offended.

Oh holy shit, we've just stepped back a few centuries.....

I'm not giving you a snippet, as per the norm.
I'm giving you the entire bloody article.

A respected Malaysian Muslim religious advisor has suggested that women wear chastity belts to thwart "sex maniacs" who rape and commit incest, according to a report.

Abu Hassan Din Al-Hafiz said cases of rape and incest were rampant and that chastity belts would help reduce sex-related crimes, the Star daily reported.

"We have even come across a number of unusual sex cases, where even senior citizens and children were not spared. The best way to avert sex perpetrators is to wear protection," he was quoted as saying in the newspaper.

"My intention is not to offend women but to safeguard them from sex maniacs," he said.
Elaborating on his idea, he said there would be other positives to donning the belts. "Husbands could also feel more secure, if you know what I mean," he said, adding chastity belts were worn as recently as the mid-1960s.

Abu Hassan has served as a religious advisor to Malaysia's king and written books on Islamic studies.

That's really stupid. REALLY really stupid. The PROBLEM Malaysia is facing is men who rape their daughters. The PROBLEM isn't women being unprotected. This is as ABSURD as saying women who dress in short garments are "advertising" their willingness to to be ravaged.

I have to say I am truly offended at what Abu Hassan is saying.
You're saying that the problem is women! It has NEVER been the female gender "problem" in the first place! ARGH! In this day and age, to still have this kind of mentality? I don't want to tie this to religion but I just can't help it in this case! Can you tell I'm agitated?

By the way, this quite possibly tops Winston's post about a pending proposal which annuls marriages which are childless. Or such such nonsense.


Geez, in this day and age, to see these things proposed....
