The right place of women ( beyond rhetoric)

It's not a news item anymore(that I link below) and we all know it. Just another example of World's hypocrisy when it claims to treating the fairer sex equally and a (self proclaimed) civilized world, that harps about it continously.

So when I read this news item, I felt pain as to why can't women at the dawn of this century, still be treated with dignity at any place of work, howsoever noble it be, be it nursing the patients in a hospital or defending their country at the borders?

Many of us in this world have become utter captives or if I can say, have left our carnal desires so untamed, that no matter what we do, we are in constant need of satisfying our sexual urges, else what explains the news item that reports... "from soldiers to policemen to social workers to fire fighters and even UN personnel, collectively have one thing in common....their need to have prostitutes and exotic dancers tag along, whichever mission they undertake and whatever godforsaken circumstances?

Erotic dancers and strippers are arriving to entertain crowds of police, firefighters and military personnel in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina.

"Sick"...is the word to describe this culture which is becoming more mainstream than we presume. Those few in the western world, who are against it, are seemingly fighting a lost battle. It's a rot that would not hide for long and had potential to bring the civilizations down. History is witness. So are the Bibles, the Torah and the Quran.
