"Throughout history, rape during war has been commonplace, even encouraged. Homer's Iliad opens with an argument between the Greek warriors Agamemnon and Achilles over possession of women seized during the Trojan War. In Biblical times, warriors also considered women spoils of war; they treated women as livestock, children, and other property in a conquered city. Biblical law told warriors that they ‘may take these as plunder ... [a]nd you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.’"Womenfolk have long been regarded as the spoils of war. Cologne, Rotherham, and countless other contemporary instances of Muslim gang rapes of European women tell us that the liberal project and feminism have failed, that women are not interchangeable with men; that the Open Society has failed.
