An article on sfgate.com today ...
"Armed Men Set Afghan Girls' School on Fire"
"'Why did they only burn the girls' school? Why not the boys' school next door?' asked a 12-year-old student who only gave her first name, Farida."
How do you even begin to explain to young girls that there are some people who believe girls and women shouldn't be educated and why they think this way?
And an Associated Press article from Tuesday ...
"Lions reportedly chase off abductors, guard girl til police find her"
"A 12-year-old girl who was abducted and beaten by men trying to force her into a marriage was found being guarded by three lions who apparently had chased off her captors, a policeman said Tuesday."
Animals continue to amaze me -- they appear to have more sense than grown men.

This is so wrong. Was reading somewhere the the patriachal model is all of Socrates' fault. Plato's model was matriachal in nature. Or maybe it was the other way around. But I could be completely wrong.
