		<description>Interestnig!  Not being able to associate yourself with any of the listed groups is the failure of the system, and the groups (ofcourse) as is everything else is. Gender roles will never be a central issue in Turkmenistan, misogyny is slowly fading but it will take years for it to dissolve. Until every woman encounters this question, (and i hope they will) with country that "seems" to be steadily moving forward. 
This binary system is exclusive, it will take years for it to evolve into something where leftist, (if this is even a coined term within Turkmen women,  as I am sure that idea is yet to evolve )women will be able to associate themselves with politlical fractions. To belong to a group you need to have your interests represented, if you dont find it within the listings, you create one...isn't that the traditonal lineage of political development?

Tradition needs to break apart from modern standards. I am for all things non-traditional when it comes to women's involvement. 

Women's movement is a very multifaceted phenomena. I mean, look at Latin America and the WM there, the only time you actually did see an active involvement of women in politics or business, or striding into political groups and leading on.. is when the countries were under a full blown dictatorships/authoritarian regimes. Who did you see marching for their dead husbands and protesting against the government on the streets? - women. 
Who went to earn money to support their children? - women.
Who took on the agricultural initiatives? - women.

Now the question is, has a women in every Turkmen household been affected by the lack of "this and that" to reflect upon her actions? Or are Turkmen women bearing themselves down with this cultural/traditional baggage, burdened but at the same time accustomed, to this way of being? 
I want to see women at the forefronts...where are they?</description>

		<description>Salam!!! 

Identity, that what matters!!!! Being turkmen makes me pround of me more than anything else! I hate being abroad and hearing about the turkmen politics pathetical things that are not even a truth. Or meeting people abroad who spread the rumors about my homeland. People always think that its better in other countries, they move their, and then they realize that there is nothing better that yr motherland. As my mama used to say " soygulusinden aylrylan bir yyl aglar, yurdyndan ayrylan omurlik aglar!"

Myahri 

my blood, my tears, my slime my breath belongs to TURKMENISTAN</description>

		<description>- Where does a leftist Turkmen woman fit?
- Nowhere... Short and honest.

The world is a funny place. 21st century, people in space, studying possibilities of life in Mars, possibilities of teleportation... One would assume with all the new advancements, people should get smarter and things should get easier. But instead, everything is getting harder and people are getting more stupid. 
There are so many political phrases, most of which are total lies made up to make some rich folks even richer (yes, it’s ALWAYS about money). Let’s take democracy for instance. Democracy is the right of people/civilizations to choose how to live. Now, if one country attacks another because people over there don’t live like themselves, because they live their own way - where is the democracy in that??? People must have the right to choose not to be democratic if they want to. I can honestly and surely say that there is no democracy in the world, not in any country - and those who don’t agree with me are just cowards afraid to admit it. Sometimes it’s a good thing that there is no democracy. Imagine being a father of a big family and one of your kids using bad language, drugs ...etc. Would you say he should have freedom of speech, freedom to use drugs or would you spank his ass so badly he would become a different person??? Sometimes people are needed to be protected from themselves...
Anyway, there is no point in talking about simple things at great lengths, using many sophisticated phrases and making it harder. We are a young country, only recently learned to walk, to talk, slowly maturing. Surely, there are going to be mistakes we make along the way, like any teenager. The main point is to be able to say: ‘This is my country; my people and I take everything about it, the good and the bad together’. The main point is to try and do something about making things better instead of bragging and complaining all the time.</description>

		<description>Two men against one woman. 
What a shining example of sexism and gender inequality of rights!
Merdjen, I absolutely agree with you: liberal values and democracy are not the points for any political movements related to our country.</description>
