[Syria / Higher Education Ministry] - The State Self Bans Women from Courses to Feed a Phantom of Divine Purity

Event Baseline: In Syria, tertiary institutions announced that women will no longer be allowed to enroll in certain university courses. The decision follows a government directive. The exact courses and number of women affected were not specified.

The state has drawn a line through the mind. It has declared half the population unfit to learn certain things. This is not about education. It is about the need to enforce a category. The category 'woman' becomes a prison. The state believes this prison protects something sacred. It protects nothing. It only feeds a phantom of purity that has no existence outside thought.

The mechanism is exactly the same as every other ideological ban. One group is elevated by degrading another. The division is not natural; it is manufactured by belief. That belief says order requires separation. But separation creates only friction. When a society forbids a woman from studying engineering because she is a woman, it has already lost the ability to see a human being.

The collapse is inevitable. The banned women will not vanish. They will become a counter-force. The state will then call them enemies. But it created the enemy by its own action. This is the operating system error: the self-needs an other to feel safe. The only correction is to dissolve the category entirely.
