When you are a woman in Saudi you can't drive a car because it's against the law there and you have to respect the law of that country. When you are on a domestic US flight you shouldn't be discriminated against because of some whacko's view that half the world, including those who have given birth to said whacko's, are somehow unclean.

Be careful what you choose to champion, you wouldn't want to live like that and by championing those kinds of views you advocate them.
