expressed serious contempt for women as the result of his Marxist-
Leninist line, and even described women as elements in family that
"bring men down and make them degenerate". Indeed, he never
favored the presence of women inside the organization over concerns
they would impair men's ability to fight and would damage the atmos-

particularly Kurdish women, would be entirely appropriate:

Women, once described as "an ele-
ment of corruption" by Öcalan,
were employed as propaganda
tools as required by the imperialist
mask donned by him. Yet the orga-
nization is in fact a trap for women,
who are constantly repressed.
