As usual it boils down to that old religious chestnut
"God is a man so women don't matter, tell them we can't beat them and they will start wanting to vote, let them vote and before you know it they'll be telling men what to do and that is blasphemy! Therefore nip this equality nonsense in the bud as God obviously intended when he neglected to give them a penis."

I traveled widely in Turkey some years ago, it was a beautiful country, with wonderful friendly warm people, and a largely secular outlook, which was leading it away from the troubled culture of the Middle East.

The new theocracy, is leading them back into the darkness. And its power has been built, by using tax payers money to bribe the right wing reactionary parts of the population with carefully targeted spending which benefits only them.
