Liberal bloggers scream “patriarchy” everywhere else, but turn into soft-spoken apologists the second they face actual Mullahcratic Patriarchy?
When male clerics use 7th-century rules to legalize sex with 15-year-old children, it’s not some “delicate legal overlap”… it is raw, unadulterated theological exploitation. Stop shielding the Mullahs behind sanitized academic memos and call it what it actually is.
The sheer hypocrisy of liberal commentary is on full display here. When child protection laws like POCSO collide with personal law, they treat the clerics with kid gloves and frame forced minor marriage as a “delicate biological debate.” It’s total cowardice. Until you directly confront the male theological gatekeepers who write and protect these rules, calling for “reform” is nothing more than useless window dressing.
