Maybe Ikea thought that if they included the women in their catalog their sales would drop... I don't really blame them. The whole problem lies in Saudi Arabia with the oppression of women.

does saudi arabia make up so large a consumer populace for them that they would stand to lose such a substantial profit from them compared to the rest of the world? >_>

I'd rather go with not bowing to their ridiculous oppression than photoshopping to please them... then again, large companies aren't exactly bastions of morality, are they?

[creativecoding]

I'd assume you're correct with them caring a lot more about a tiny bit more profit than morality.

I was just saying because to me it sounded like B9 was angry at Ikea when she should be angry at Saudi Arabia about what's been happening for decades now.

It really boils down to this: Ikea should have said "behave like human beings, or buy ugly furniture elsewhere: we aren't going to deal with your shit." If they wanted to pander to these idiots, there are all sorts of troll-ish ways to do so that are less obvious and more insidious than this anyway- such as replacing the women with appropriately dressed non-obvious gay men, with the whole 'look, look, two dads!' subtext there to bite the ass of anyone who looks into it.

oh that would be hilarious lol, "You don't want liberated women? Fine then, enjoy a catalogue full of gay men instead!"

the point is that BOTH are at fault. saudia arabia for their shitty antiquated views, ikea for conceding to them in order to sell some plastic furniture.

Don't forget about FGM, B9.

So they have women covered from head-to-toe and perform FGM on them because they're only there for reproduction, and showing skin and having women able to feel pleasure somehow "tempts" men. Basically, if they show more than their eyes, they're temping them to have sex with them/inviting men to rape them. Hows about SHOWING SOME FUCKING SELF CONTROL?!?!?! I'm not saying they have to walk around in bikinis, but complete head-to-toe just shows how incapable these men are of controlling themselves, really. Wearing the ones that cover only the hair isn't bad. They can still see their face and their legs and arms are usually covered up, so that should be enough to show modesty and respect for their religion, while still being able to express themselves. Hell, I actually think the Muslim women dress better than most Americans lol. And most of the time their hijabs are really pretty.

I guess the only real problem I have with Islam (note, the more extremist ones) is lack of self-control from men (leading to shitty treatment of women) and how easily offended they are (probably because they only have sex for reproduction, making them more tense).

we need to send our emissary supersloth to the Islamic states, to preach the benefits of furious masturbation.

[BenignDesign]

FGM is a disgusting violation of basic human rights.
