Send more American troops to liberate the women of Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and all the Islamic world!
And I suppose 'liberate' the women means bomb their communities, starve them, occupy the country, leading to a rise in patriarchical religious fundamentalism, and force constitutions that don't protect women's rights?
If you really care about these women, you'll call for the removal of all foreign troops, and push for economic support for them, their families, and their communities.

It's time for all women to be free from male violence and male domination.
Wars are conversations between men using weapons instead of words. Women suffer because of wars started by men and because they are denied reproductive rights and forced to have children they dont want.
Because Chinese and India men deny women reproductive rights and support a system that favors aborting female fetuses, there are now 80 million surplus males who will soon grow up and who will never be able to marry or have jobs.
They will be the next generation of thugs who will kill and rape women. so, women are forced to manufacture their own rapists and killers.

Germany: Teenager killed his sister for living a Western life
AYHAN SURUCU was so angry when his sister started to wear make-up and date German men that he put a gun to her head at a bus stop and killed her.
The 18-year-old Turk fired three bullets into her brain and calmly walked away.
Boys at a nearby school, attended mainly by the children of immigrant Muslim families, cheered and applauded when news of the murder reached them...
Passing judgment, Michael Degrif said: “It is inconceivable that someone can be killed for living a Western lifestyle.”
Although she was brought up in Germany, Hatun was forced into a marriage with her Turkish cousin in east Anatolia. The marriage broke up and she returned to Berlin with her five-year-old child to live the life of a young German woman: going to discos, renting a small apartment, taking lovers and starting an apprenticeship as an electrician. She abandoned the traditional headscarf and wore fashionable jeans. Her three brothers were upset, as was her father...
There are 40 “honour killings” a year in Germany and most of them result from the failure of an arranged marriage, which are illegal in the country.
