In Ghazalia, Mr. Hussein showed his contempt for the majority Shiites in ways large and small. He refused to allow them even one mosque, while the Sunnis had nearly a dozen. To worship, the Shiites had to cross an inconveniently located bridge over the sewage canal to Shula.
To me, it was shocking that a government of men could look with such extreme contempt on a movement that was asking nothing except such a simple little thing as the right to vote.
I think there's a contempt for care work and caregiving in this country that seeps into how we think about mothers, professional workers who are mothers.

Love of glory can only create a great hero; contempt of glory creates a great man.
Contempt for China on the part of the enemy is his weak point. Knowledge of this weak point is our strong point.
