The Globalist
By Tulin Daloglu
For centuries, women have been used — as property, as slaves — in the sense of having no rights over their own body. To a troubling degree, this is still the case in much of the Middle East. The larger story here is not one that pits the Muslim world against the West — or Islam against Christianity. It is a struggle for dominance. As Tulin Daloglu argues, what needs to happen is a change in approach — a change in how men in power see the world.
In the past, men played the game of empire, assuming the role of conqueror — while women were generally treated as property, to be traded back and forth. Men ruled empires, controlled women and built civilizations whose currency was power and military superiority.
