If he is trying to liberate women than why does he make them look so weak and silly. In the beginning he makes the women look like fools who have to sit around and wit for a man to validate there thoughts before it is okay for them to leave the city. They make themselves look as though they can not make a decision on their own without first checking to see if a man thinks that it is a good deed. What if they asked a man that was an idiot? It just makes them seem inferior to men.
