Actually, the story is important if we’re ever to understand how wrong our urge to change other societies to be like us are. We justify most regime change wars with the excuse that the people are oppressed. Did any of the people in these countries we destroyed ask to be changed?
Did any of those women ask to be required to dress in those HOT black airless bags in a desert climate? Why don't the men have to hide themselves away? It's like a mobile prison you take with you everywhere. Combine that with female genital mutilation (that's voluntary by the girl?), being shut away from most of life, not being allowed to go out unaccompanied by a male, threat of death from being accused of adultery, being required to marry one's rapist, etc. I'm quite sure it was the men who thought of all these oppressive things, not the women. If the women comply, it's either from threat of dire punishment or brainwashing from their family.
