The complexity of sexuality summed up in 10 pages.

This chapter jumped around more than my Labrador retriever when I arrive at home. It did, however bring up some great points.
First, it acknowledges the sheer complexity of this topic. Our sexuality really comes into play in every faucet of our life. This becomes readily apparent when different cultures are compared and interact.
A good example of a clash of “cultural sexuality,” takes place between the West and the Taliban.
Their belief in certain Islamic philosophies prohibits women from attending school. It also mandates women wear burqas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burqa) and restrict them to housework within the walls of a compound.
Since the fall of the Taliban following the September 11 bombing, much of the group has retreated into Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan. In the past year coalition forces in Afghanistan has seen a resurgence from the Taliban. Of the attacks the Taliban have launched a majority have been aimed at school that teach women.
So how did I start at sexuality and end at the Taliban? Well it is simple. Cultural views on sexuality are in essence some of the fuel that is feeding the fire of our conflict in the Middle East.
So if sexuality has an influence in Geo-political conflict, I think it is easy to infer it trickles down into everything.
