Sorry for the bad easy pun Recep but from one Tay to another ( Tay-yip same thing ), have you gone bat-shit crazy? No disrespect for the presidential office that you hold either, it’s just that you seem to relish controversy and possibly hatred at you. Jumping on every chance you get to stir the smelly pot before even fixing the last unpalatable recipe is not logical.
At least, looking back to Gezi Park, that you’d follow angering your people into with restraining their rights to use the social media that allowed them to plan the protest was linear if not too democratic, thank you. But jumping from being rescued out of the hole dug under Turkey’s feet by the meanderings of your anti-everyone strategy on Syria by US Secretary of State John Kerry’s suave diplomatic tango ( ballet doesn’t cut it here ) and immediately putting the country on the black list of most Western women by your nincompoop views on equality is borderline behavior, ask your psychiatrist!
That you’d raise this, dear sir, would not have been so bad. there are those who think that some jobs should be left masculine only. I, for one, believe so about armed forces in combat positions although for entirely different reasons than yours, one of which being that maybe we should have made it unnecessary for males too instead. And you’ll get many probably most of both sexes to support the idea that you should get a job on merit and not on account of your gender or any other such. BUT :
“Our religion gave woman a station. What station is this? The station of motherhood … Motherhood is something different and is the most unobtainable, the highest station,” he said.
“There are those who understand this, those who don’t. You can’t tell this to feminists, because they do not accept motherhood. They have no such concerns.”
REALLY? Come on, mate! Even if this position was valid, it it is indefensible, especially in reference to your above sentences. What? Don’t see it? Bah, I gotta few minutes; let me show you!
Woman’s station is motherhood. you said. Let’s see :

Turkish women comprise 24% of the workforce. That’s incredibly low by modern nations’ standards but we know you are fond of old school times and mores as evidenced by that percentage going down by a few points since you got to power ( the only such occurrence of any Islamic country BTW ) so OK. Turkey’s unemployment rates at 10.2 however. So that if you get all the broads back to cooking, sewing and having kids, you’d be short of a few hundred thousand workers at least. I guess that could be solved by hiring immigrants; may I suggest beleaguered Syrian Kurds? 😉

If women’s job is motherhood, I also suppose that by inversion the job of males such as you and I is stallion hood? now, I have temperament aplenty and would not mind except that A- I have other strings to my bow, tunes to my repertoire and I wouldn’t want to be reduced to reproduction utility solely; B- applying all that manhood at work because heck, you’re right man, that’s my station and prerogative, if I got you right would be highly perilous in any case, forbidden by a string of ridiculous laws from mounting my boss or colleagues in my setting and forced ( again, if I go by your ways ) to apply it to other males in yours which is really not part of my nature, no offense. And if you argue, Tayyip, that I need not be a stallion all day long and could keep it in my pants while at the office, then … then why would the same reasoning apply to women exactly? Pray tell!
Not telling the feminists this makes a lot more sense than the rest, congratulations except that saying so in public with media listening is contra-logical” Again, in your particular set-up with reporters either under orders or under guard, it can probably pass; sadly, some told outsiders and here we are.
Facepalm, huh?
But the major point in your take is the lacking statistical analysis. It goes thus : with roughly 50% of each sex, in countries of millions, the most of one or less of the other stand above or below differences. Simply put, even with average height well below that of males, the tallest women still tower over most men. By the same law of large numbers, the mean of men may have way more muscle mass but the bottommost of them by that metric will still be puny and feeble compared to the average female. Catch my drift? That’s but nature too, along with m .. m.. motherhood!
And talking of females sturdier than some men, I’d bet you a few quids that the 2 huge girls laying bricks and plastering on the construction crew that’s renovating my apartment building would disagree on the “delicate” seeing how they are taller and heavier than you. But there is a closer example you might check out :
From link below :
http://egyptianstreets.com/2014/11/09/egypt-crowned-new-world-championship-team-in-karate/
Her name is Shymaa Abouel Yazed and she just won gold at the World’s Karate Championships at the beginning of the month helping her sisters conquer the title for their country. Not only could she probably teach your ex-semi-footballistic ass a lesson but since she’s Egyptian, she’d probably get a medal for it from her president, your good buddy al-Sisi? 😀
Delicate, he said ROFL! Man, if you can’t help putting a foot in your mouth, why not that of your wife like a good fetish freak? That might loosen you up some?
And finally, whether you approve or not, poor guy, higher values and qualities are even less a sexual diktat than physical ones and I could introduce you to a lot of women that have integrity and ethics above yours. Just sayin’
One such example is found here :
https://www.thedodo.com/stray-dog-joins-hikers-on-trek-840324261.html
At an ultra-endurance race held in Ecuador, 430 miles of trekking no less, 3 and a half Swedes if I understood you well for one is a woman were joined by a stray dog. The animal and the humans adopted each other & finished the race together ( yup, Recep, even the delicate girl, it’s part of the rules ) even in the kayak segment and the bond could not be forgotten so that the team had the dog treated and after a quarantine, it will now finish its life in Sweden. The funny part is that this made one of the team’s members break out in tears of joy but guess what : it was Mikael, not Karen the gal!
I guess that would make him too delicate for your taste?

Bad boy, Tayyip; good dog Arthur.
Tsssssk, Tay.
P.S. I’d rather have a conversation with the dog, me thinks! Look at that honest face! 😉
