Free & Equal ~ Hirsi Ali on Women's Rights...

Thanks to Friendly Athiest Hemant Mehta for spotting What Does It Really Mean for Women to be ‘Free & Equal’? A Talk by Ayaan Hirsi Ali who pulls no punches in condemning backwards cultures...
"It is a matter of principle that women are free and equal'. This means zero tolerance of cultural practices such as honour violence, forced marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM). In her talk, Hirsi Ali challenges the audience with questions such as whether multiculturalism is indifference disguised as tolerance, and what do Western feminists have to offer to the life and death problems of women from the developing world?"
