Afghan Women Put Lives on Line To Run for Office

..........Even though many Afghan families still prohibit wives and daughters
from showing their faces in public, 328 women are running for the lower house of
parliament, where 68 of 249 seats have been set aside for female
representatives. An additional 237 are running for seats on provincial councils
that will in turn appoint a third of the upper house......

........In
southern Helmand province, U.N. officials are investigating reports of letters
circulating that offer a $4,000 reward for killing female candidates. In
southeastern Zabol province, unknown gunmen tried to hijack a car belonging to
Zarmina Pathan, a candidate and employee of a local aid organization. Afghan and
U.N. officials said they are investigating whether the attack was a routine
crime or an attempt to intimidate her.............

you know i do have the BEST idea for protecting women's virtue (that is after all why they can't show themselves outside of their homes. i am NOT just talking about middle eastern cultures, i am talking about ANY culture which deems women to be evil temptresses) slap LOCKING chastity devices on ALL males. let only their wives (or in the case of bachelors, their mothers, grandmothers or aunts) have the keys. therefore, even if tempted by evil women, they can do NOTHING about it (well nothing using their genitalia that is).
