I have always felt that a punishment should suit the crime. Being lashed or going to jail for wearing a skirt or sitting with someone who is not in your family or just being in public alone is not a fair punishment. Call me an American hypocrite if you want, but that is what I believe.

What makes you think people don't have the right to just get up and walk away when they are adults? Women can divorce men anywhere in the Middle East, and you aren't forced to stay in your country anywhere. Just more stereotypes and stuff with no real basis.

That might be true in some countries,but not in other and if you truly believe that most middle eastern women can just walk away, get divorced and live a normal life you are living with your head in the sand. In many of these places getting a divorce for a man is simple, but a woman must go through a whole battery of thing and the process can drag out for years. This is not to mention that in many middle eastern countries women often make only 20-50% of what men do for the same work (if they can find work at all) so it is nearly impossible for a woman to support herself. The system is set up to keep women in a position of servitude and dependent on the men.
