Saw this in the paper this morning, I wonder how different the headline would be if they were male

You know why they're getting special treatment? Because women are special...in that they're weaker than men always have been always will be. That's why they can get "lured" into these situations. I bet you if those were feminists on the stand they wouldn't disagree by standing up and saying, "I made a fully conscious decision to do this!" Nope. They'll go right along with the stigma. (This comment is laden in sarcasm. Find it).

Wow.... Just wow...

People need to make up their mind: either women are helpless victims incapable of making their own decisions, or they are empowered creatures who don't have to live their lives based on how other people (men) say they should.

It's one or the other, not a sliding scale.

If they were male: three ISIS terrorists to be executed (spend life in jail depending on the country).

No doubt feminists are opposing this infantilization of women...

Yes, these women are so dumb that they couldn't have possibly of known what they were gotting themselves into. Because vaginas.

I'm sorry, I actually think that women are intelligent and are capable of directing their lives and refuse to believe that they had no clue what ISIS was or what they stand for.

It's hard to tell from the headline, but my understanding of ISIS is that they've got very different roles for men and women: men are their soldiers, who shoot people and blow things up, while women are mainly kept around for "morale" and as reward wives for the fighters. Granted, I've only seen a very little bit in the media about the roles that women play in ISIS, so I may be missing something here, but all the combatants and executioners I've seen seem to be male.

If these women were just "hanging around" ISIS basically, rather than actually shooting people, lack of charges may actually make sense.

Teenage Boys Who Became ISIS Terrorists to be Tried as Adults.

It annoys me how much attention these 3 are getting. We're constantly being told that supposed to feel sorry for them despite them stealing from their families to join a group of extremist scum.

They made their choice, they should live (or die) with the consequences.

Why should anybody be charged with anything? If people in any area want a theocratic government instead of an atheist government, that's their right. It's not like the atheist form of governance known as democracy has a sparkling record. For at least a 1,000 years virtually all of European governance were Christian theocracies. The death toll for 1,000 years of European theocracies pales in comparison to a mere 100 years of the atheist forms of governance Europe has created since the overthrow of the theocracies.

Has IS killed "X" amount of people? Well democracy has killed 10,000 times as many in that same amount of time. This post says it was listed 7 hours ago, in that time about 100 people have been droned to death, ground troops have killed a few hundred more, countless families have been displaced, property stolen, and countless other atrocities, all done in dozens of foreign countries under the banner of spreading the glorious ideology of democracy.

So when the media says that ISIS beheaded a single person because they want a theocratic government, yet doesn't say that a foreign country has killed 10,000 because the foreign nations want a democracy in a country they have no business being in, the hypocrisy is staggering.

What happened then, they didn't make it to Syria?

society is more forgiving of women, because men in power implicitly want more women around as potential mates. other men are just competition, so send them off to fight wars, have harsh laws that are disproportionately enforced against them, and don't forgive them when they fight for the other side and want to come home. that's how that works.
