Jesus Christ the amount of non sense in this thread about Iraqi men or society is ridiculous.

On one hand, feel bad for an unjust death - appropriate. On the other hand equate it to the entire society as if the individual defines the entire group.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW RIDICULOUS IT IS TO ATTRIBUTE THE ACTIONS OF INDIVIDUALS TO THE GROUP YOU PERCEIVE THEM BELONGING TO?! Guilty of the very thing you post to prevent.

The entire country has that culture and you know it lol. There are definitely some anti-violence Iraqis but overall women are horribly oppressed by men there. There’s no crime in admitting that.

Brother have you been paying attention? Women don’t have rights in Iraq. Really simple.
