It's nice to see the feminists standing up for womens rights for a change. It sickens me to see pseudo-intellectuals empathize with hienous crimes since they are 'traditions'. Even if this is traditional, it should be wiped out. I say wipe out the whole aboroginal tribe system if all it represents is this kind of violence against little girls. It's like saying a brahmin is justified in killing a shudra who crossed his path, since the shudra should have known what tradition requires of him. The whole realm of social sciences is being turned into a farce.. and we don't even need Sokal to realize it.
