Do you not understand or are you just pretending not to understand? Noone is saying ban the burka because it offends us, but because we believe (rightly or wrongly) that those who wear it are NOT wearing it out of their personal choice.
Ok first of all the minority wore it, second of all how do you know they arent wearing from there own choice? You think the men are interfering? What about all the single women who live by themselves? should that be illegal for them too
It's not promotion, it's fantasy. Do you not understand the difference? In fact, it might even be healthy for people to live out their fantasies in cartoons or books or movies or internet forums or whatever, just as long as they do it privately. And then they can still be the kind of people we like to be around in public.
Have you never had a fantasy that was cruel or offensive?
well im sorry my good sir, statistics indicate your wrong. There are strong reports which link pornography with sexual harassment rape and crime. Ted Bundy himself told us that he was heavily influenced by porn and if the entertainment system was not to clean itself there will be more people like him
They are not "just as sexist". They are sexist yes, probably every society is. But it's completely dishonest to say that just because one culture has flaws it's no different from any other. The west as it currently is has achieved a much greater equality between the sexes (do you dispute this?) and that has come not from the good will of the people but from a progressive struggle for rights and respect. Western society was just as sexist as "the middle east" 100 years ago or 200 years ago. The difference is people have tried to change this and have (at least to some extent) succeeded.
Yes clearly and that's why in West we've had stories such as
- Josph Fritzl in Austria raping and sexually abusing his daughter for 20 years in a locked basement
- Michele Mongelli did the same thing in italy roughly 20 years had her locked
- Rapid rise in women serial killers Ted Bundy for example murdering and sexual abusing women
- disturbing statistics of rape, sexual harressment which is nothing compared to the ones of the middle east.
- more teenage pregnancy leaving them distraught and difficult to live their life as they have no one to help them raise the child.
and a side all of this, you have women being portayed as tool of pleasure nothing more. You have P.diddy singing on our radio: "I wanna girl to ride ride ride" and Akon; "smack that all the floor", and we have the nerve to go round sorting other ppl's problems? especially since there sex related crime dwarfs ours? Fact of the matter is the sex culture thats being promoted in the capitalist countries are failing, fail really is the best way to describe our current problems. Forget the middle east, what we need to try to do is solve the absolute mess and problems we are suffering from and they're not.
You've said one thing I agree with, the fact is the capitalist countries are in power at the moment, which these days unfortunately means it is they who decide whats right or wrong...for now. But when things change, and they will, we can all have a good laugh at our utterly ridiculous sex culture.
Until that time, those who arrogant will remain arrogant and denial of there societies power. I have nothing more to add feel free to interpret and respond to it the way you want
