Women shouldn't laugh in public


Rico says that some things are funny enough on their face, and this, from  ClarionProject.org, doesn't require comment:
The Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey, Bülent Arınç, said that women should refrain from laughing in public, because it’s immodest. In response to Arınç’s remarks, hundreds of Turkish women posted pictures of themselves laughing on social media platforms.
Arınç, who spoke at an Eid el-Fitr gathering yesterday, said, “The woman will know what is forbidden and not haram. She will not laugh in public. She will not be inviting in her attitudes and will protect her chasteness.”
Following Arınç’s remarks, hundreds of women protested by posting pictures of themselves laughing on Twitter and other social media sites like Instagram.
Arınç chided Turkish women saying, “Where are our girls, who slightly blush, lower their heads and turn their eyes away when we look at their face, becoming the symbol of chastity?” he said.
This is not the first time that a member of Prime Minister Erdogan’s AK Party revealed misogynist views in public.
Erdogan himself announced plans to crack down on abortions and Caesarean section births. In 2008, he gave a speech on International Women’s Day in the city of Usak in which he advised women to have at least three children, but he said that he preferred that they have five. In 2010, he told a group of women’s rights activists who he invited to Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul: "I don't believe in equality between men and women."
Rico says that the women he knows don't either; they can't imagine any man equal to a woman...
