190. as someone told me recently
when someone posted a thread about the need for feminism in america...
"modern" men are different than those awful men of the past, or the ones who aren't "modern" in other countries. if the beast is to be defeated, it has to be seen for what it is right here. and the female collaborators are the best argument to counter the women, good...men, bad meme. it's not always about gender, not even in other places, but it is always about culture...and power.
i think hussein was a modern and practical man, who knew very well what forces could come to power in iraq. as to how it all happened...recall "the handmaiden's tale?" if your assets are frozen, you aren't allowed to work (or drive), and your very being is threatened by doing the things you once considered normal, it's not that surprising that you don't see women in those photos.
