The sight of a dumpy er matronly British sailoress swathed in a hajib, muttering words of disrepute, and glorifying her troglodyte captors, inspires many thoughts, chiefly amongst those for me is; 'no wonder our enemies think we are marshmallows'.
Not for her maleability at the hands of the Persians, for to be fair, her shipmates were equally ignoble, it is the image, and ultimately an adelpated doctrine of political correctness that promulgates all gender-specific roles as unfair or bigoted, which leads to that impression. I'm no misogynist, I think there are valid roles for women in our military and para-military. I think women can and do make excellent pilots, or police detectives, anything that doesn't call for upper body strength, or an intimidating presence, so if the aforementioned images strike me as particularly supine, imagine how it is viewed by an entire culture that conceives women as chattel. Not only does that image convey incredible weakness, it is in fact a shock and affront to their sensibilities, they see it as evil.
Personally, I could care less about inciting our enemies any further, as they are out to genocide us already, but what purpose does it serve to insult any moderates or potential allies in the region? Why is it that the left, which frets about the smallest perceived slight to any culture other than ours, is so tone deaf when the precepts of that culture runs up against one of the tenets, nay sacraments of theirs?
