“The point was that there are places in Western civilizations that are not run by Western standards and that doesn’t mean they are just different,” he told Cryer.
“We have to agree that women should be able to wear whatever they want,” Maher continued. ‘If you don’t agree with that, then you do not a liberal to start with.”
Cryer returned to Maher’s point, saying that while he agreed that women should be able to wear what they want, there were many places in the world where women did not have the freedom to dress how they wanted.
“They were getting calls all the time in a lot of places,” Cryer argued, which Maher mocked.
‘A lot happened in the past, but what is going on in the world now?’ Maher replied. “Would you really want your wife to live in Gaza or (somewhere else) where she would have to hide?”
