On June 1, 2024, George C.

His discourse on gender \u200dapartheid \u200dand\u2063 the plight of women in Islamic societies struck a chord, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this critical social justice concern.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/georgeupper\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/georgeupper\/%20\"><span>George C.

When you mandate that one category of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-why-putin-invaded-ukraine-and-how-he-just-shattered-the-world-order\/\" title=\"Here\u2019s Why Putin Invaded Ukraine \u2013 And How He Just Shattered The World Order\">human beings don\u2019<\/a>t even have the right to show their face, that\u2019s apartheid. And it goes on in a lot of countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He described the state of unrest in Iran because of protests against the traditional Islamic garb for woman, and noted that Amnesty International \u2014 no more a promoter of conservative causes than Maher himself \u2014 has stated that \u201cIranian authorities are waging a \u2018War on Women.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the issue is much larger than simply wardrobe, Maher said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFifteen countries in the Middle East \u2014 including Gaza \u2014 have laws that require women to obey their husbands,\u201d he said. And he went on to list many, many more offenses inflicted against women by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/confusion-anger-abound-empire-state-building-lights-honor-muslim-country-known-terror-tentacles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muslim cultures<\/a> around the world.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the entirety of his monologue below. It\u2019s actually funnier than I\u2019ve made out here, as I didn\u2019t want to spoil any of Maher\u2019s jokes by transcribing them. (They\u2019re not all funny, of course \u2014 some are the unsurprising jabs at traditional conservative viewpoints \u2014 but some of them are pretty good.)<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New Rule: Gender Apartheid | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uRzv0HgatRc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the apartheid that desperately needs your attention: gender apartheid,\u201d Maher said, again addressing college-age protesters directly. \u201cThis is what should be the social justice issue of your time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the aforementioned cheap jokes at the expense of traditional conservative beliefs, Maher really nailed it here.
