Making gender his issue - Amir's story

Kaveh Mozaffari, 6 June 2008

For Amir, who wants women to be his equals

I know many men who consider women small; men who enjoy degrading women and view them only as tools for satisfying their urges; men who sum up their virility in stoning women. I know men who consider their vicious treatment of women a trait of champions and heroes; men who proudly describe their abuse of women to their friends. I know men who present themselves as open-minded types in public, but beat their wives in private.
