Women in 2025: Tools Evolving and Fossilized Minds
RUBA AYYASH
We are on the cusp of 2025 living in a world where tools are sophisticated and minds are petrified.
In many places, the world still treats women as if they were outside the realm of humanity, or as if they were “second-class human beings.” The examples abound and the present is even bleaker.
Starting with Iran, which kills women, pursues them and allows them to be exposed in the streets for not wearing the hijab properly. Then you meander to Afghanistan to see wonders that the mind cannot comprehend or comprehend in modern times. Women are prevented from education, as if silencing their voices even at home is a legitimate goal.
In Libya, the “morality” police aimed exclusively at women is being re-introduced. Then Syria, where international, regional, Arab and domestic fears of reducing the role of women under the pretext of extremist traditions and ideas are increasing.
Fears from Ahmad al-Shara (Abu Muhammad al-Julani) and his history, which is full of question marks, especially in light of his previous links with extremist parties terrifying with their ideology, to the Syrian Interim Government, whose members carry a radical monolithic ideology that is undesirable in a world that aspires towards peace, balance, intellectual openness and development.
Syria, which is mired in the rubble of its wars, conflicts and crises, needs someone to think about lifting it out of the collapsed economy and the social and intellectual gaps that have hit the social fabric. It needs someone to think about how to improve its infrastructure, not to think about making statements about women’s roles.
Syria, which suffers from a political vacuum after the fall of the regime, and which stands on the brink of internal civil conflicts between the components of society, and there are still members of the interim government who find space to promote distorted ideas, that women are emotional and that their biological makeup does not allow them to play all roles, based on flimsy arguments that have no validity or real scientific reference.
It is a reflection of a deviant extremist ideology that comes from people who have a distorted image of themselves, others and their societies.
We are approaching 2025, and women in some countries are still unable to decide their fate, are prosecuted because of their appearance, and forced to wear a “tent” over their heads. This is considered intellectual decline, mental ossification and intimidation against women.
Is this Afghanistan where women used to study mathematics, aviation, physics and chemistry? Today, the Taliban are praising their achievements in damaging musical instruments and preventing any living creatures from appearing on television. Is this Iran, the cradle of civilizations and arts, painting, philosophy and science, pursuing women’s poetry and observing them with police laws?
How was human consciousness destined to develop in such a suspiciously way? Many societies have sunk to the bottom of the moral and ethical mud. And what does the world do? He silently observes the process of making intellectual horror. This global silence is an accomplice to crime, and it seems to me that the purpose of this world order has been and will continue to be the intellectual and moral destruction of peoples and nations.
The intention was not to elevate them, but to keep them in hell. The intention was to create intellectually, morally and humanely distorted individuals on Russia’s borders to terrorize it, in Syria to divide and loot it, in Libya to keep it torn apart, and in Africa and places expanding.
The goal has never been to liberate peoples or empower women, but to keep societies mired in darkness, where they can be exploited for political and economic interests. The goal is to plunge man into an eternal, intellectual, cultural hell that does not respect his humanity.
Because with the collapse of women and with the spread of such frightening ideas, they guarantee the collapse of societies morally, humanly, morally and intellectually.
