"InformedAmerican", I think what you post is highly ironic when looking at your name. You very obviously have no idea what Kurdish Culture is and what it truly entails. I suggest you read beyond the propaganda if you'd really like to learn something and in fact become an "informed American".
Also, as a Kurdish woman and a feminist, I am deeply offended by your claims of "women are bought, sold, abused, insulted, beaten and even killed" because this does not exist as a part of our culture - or anyone else's for that matter. You have a distorted definition of the word "culture" to begin with. I really suggest you do some background reading on the topic of "Kurdish culture" before assuming you know anything about it.
Lastly, the PKK are freedom fighters who believe strongly in feminism and just because the US (which has interests in Turkey due to its location) says they are a terrorist organisation, it does not make it so.
