What in the primitive mentality is this!
Religion
Yep. The peaceful religion.
How does one survive 100 lashes?
Islamic lashing is as a rule pretty lenient. See: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dYS_nduLkdU (not even NSFW). Iran is the notable exception here, which is where the stuff you’re getting in the replies applies.
They spread them out over multiple sessions IIRC
Only in Iran, which is unusually harsh. This (not NSFW) is more typical.

Meanwhile the men and their harems
I don’t think you understand. The men aren’t getting pregnant, so it’s OK.
We have the worst “allies” in the Middle East.
For what its worth…the US-Saudi alliance is dead and buried.
Yeah tell me once KSA’s shitty monarchy falls lol.
The running joke is that the Houthis would successfully invade KSA in a matter of days if the US actually left.
Eh. They aren’t blocking Saudi ports, and are intercepting things on the Saudi’s behalf.
Unless you mean that as a prediction for the near future, or something.
We were always in war with Eurasia, the ministry of truth said so
The sheikhs don’t abide by any of these repressive rules.
Actually, not one of those men personally gave birth out of wedlock!
/s, although it’s technically true.
Did they punish the father? Or are they admitting to immaculate conception?
No; the father is male.
I don’t think you’re “getting” patriarchal medieval systems of “governance”
Who are “you” quoting when you put quotes around “random” words?
Scare quotes, probably. This is a very particular sense of “getting”. Like, otherwise you could read this as a synonym for “receiving”.
“them”
Both sides get the same number of lashes in Islamic law, so that’s not what’s going on here.
They never or seldom punish the men. This woman said the father left the country.
Well note they said patriarchal and medieval not Islamic.
Context is Saudi Arabia.
You’d be surprised how many Islamic countries are ruled by traditions that do not originate in Islam. Or that are warped from.
Just like you’d be shocked what the Bible says about mega-rich pastors. Or what Judaism says about the magic wire around a segment of New York.
Sure but while Saudi Arabia can get weird sometimes (see: that one time they banned women from driving for God knows what reason) for the most part they’re pretty orthodox about this stuff.
Edit: In the very weak defense of Saudi Arabia, they eventually repealed the driving ban.
American Christians tried to ban women drivers because the vibrations could give them sexual pleasure.
Really just two sides of the same shitty coin. We’re just a little further ahead than they are.
Not what you’re asking at all, but technically all conception is immaculate conception in Islam because it doesn’t have the concept of the original sin (it holds that Adam and Eve’s sin was forgiven after they asked God for forgiveness). You’re thinking of virgin birth, in which case the answer is yes for Mary no for everyone else; in the OP’s case they believe in “the father got away” birth.
Christianity would be very very different if Jesus had been born in Saudi Arabia.
At most he’d probably have to pay money to the girl’s father.
Do you want him to be?
The future conservatives want.
The future conservatives want, while also screaming about El-Sayed forcing Sharia Law.
“All people against my side are exactly the same and interchangeable”
TBF, there’s a left-wing version of that too.
Conservatives want the past, not the future. They resist change because it was ok for them.
Until it’s not, and then they want change, but not like you blacks and latinos or pakis or chinkys (I’m paraphrasing ok?)
They want change especially for them, not the other people.
As a and old white male with not family or money.
FUCK THEM.
Fuck those religious pieces of shit so shallow to allow a human to be.
The sooner we can get off oil the better for this world.

Wonder what would’ve happened for an abortion
Othering violence is required for $old-iers to be empowered prior to do harm onto “others” & normalize yet another war, or as I like to call it, pathetic jerks who sell their bodies and morality to harm other poor strangers that never personally harmed them. Sex workers at least reduce harm onto others, but they don’t compare to $oldiers, because they aren’t awarded medals from more prestigious pimps like $oldiers are. Gawd forbid they don’t have pimps or don’t pay taxes, despite the fact that they reduce harm, unlike $oldiers. And gawd forbid they aren’t mindless zombies for the promise of being able to rape, beat, and kill without accountability. One thing for certain and two things for sure, as long as $oldiers continue to find comfort in being & remaining THE plague against all life on Earth, they will be just that, and that self-employed sex workers have some of the strongest autonomy understanding in our society, and ergo will always be deemed lesser in a world where we continue to normalize war.
And we say single moms have it hard in the West.
They do. It’s not a competition.
