We cannot express our true thoughts or be our authentic selves without fearing public humiliation, exile, or loss of any life or joy.

Get raped? Your fault for seducing him with your ankles.
Now you're going to marry him, or get stoned if you were married.

Want a divorce? You'll never get custody.
Say you're not Muslim? Forget that you ever existed and get ready to get burned at the stake.

Husband gets tired of you? Better start getting used to the look of acid burns all over you.

Want to leave the country to travel?
Oh, only with the husband, father, or closest male elders permission.
