Privatizing Oppression

With a millionaire paying burqa fines in Europe, and a consortium of Israeli millionaires proposing to pay for private buses in which women will be forced to enter by a back door and to sit in the back, an intriguing new market in oppression seems to be opening up.

In the burqa model, governments stand to make huge sums; the Israeli model is pure free market capitalism.

Crucial to the success of both models is the enforcement of laws against the oppression of women, as well as a continued enthusiasm for crushing women.

The future looks bright.
