Far right women

@Swiftasthewindwould you move to Afghanistan?

Newsflash: people don't treat foreigners who turn up with an entourage that includes camera operators or tour guides like they treat each other, or even like how they treat foreigners who turn up genuinely alone.

I never believe anyone who claims to be a "solo backpacker" because their definition of "solo" is "I went with a guided group tour and none of my friends went with me", not "I turned up completely alone". They never go alone. They can't, because someone else has to be there to take the Instagram photos.

This seems to be getting towards the right amount of salt (and is also very interesting!)

🤣

😄

ooh, would anyone like to see the beautiful salt lakes of Tunisia?

I mean I can’t advocate strongly enough for taking what this poster says with a pinch of salt

In fact, you know the 150,000 tonnes of salt that typically comes into Ellesmere Port for winter gritting? That may be getting towards an appropriate amount of salt for pretty much every word this poster utters

Poverty Safari was a good read, and perhaps has some relevance to this thread.

It reads like a spam email. Why on earth would a woman apparently seeking advice on MN for where to go to find horny single men list her physical attributes?

Dubai

Backpacking in Pakistan

All viewed from a privileged, moneyed Western perspective. What a surprise.

There's a meme on American conservative fora that I'm sort of ashamed of finding funny, but here goes.

A Democrat woman accuses a Republican man of seeking to implement The Handmaid's Tale. The Republican man objects that he doesn't want any such thing.

The Republican man then becomes even more bemused as the Democrat woman, becoming visibly horny, describes in great detail how she will be degraded by high-status men in this sexist dystopia.

I don't know why I'm thinking of that now.

I have no reason to move to Pakistan personally. Though if I did I would have no qualms about it necessarily.

Unlike what you hear on the news, it’s actually quite safe for women, Forbes even did a piece on it for solo backpackers looking for somewhere a bit different.

Forbes

1. In Dubai, Westerners live in gated compounds. They go a long way towards safety. There's also a legal double-standard in that Westerners are exempt from some laws that apply to locals, so the Western experience of Dubai isn't comparable to the local experience.
2. We were talking about Pakistan. Nice try at moving the goalposts.

So why don't you move to Pakistan? You seem to prefer brown and black men.

"Casual fun with exotic lovelies" sounds like the plot of most Carry On films. Isn't that awful oiky working class culture?

That really isn’t the smart comment you think it is. Plenty of women move from the West to places in the Middle East and thrive. Dubai is a very popular example and it is extremely safe from what I’ve been told.

Next time someone says "[shithole] is no worse the UK", one of us replies with "so why don't you move there?"

I do think we need to stop being afraid to say this

objectively our way of life is better overall. I sure know where I’d prefer to live, that’s for damn sure

Urgh. Fetishing someone on the basis of race is a form of racism.

We are better. We don't have "marry your rapist" laws here. We have Rape Crisis and Women's Aid. I can go swimming. I am not under pressure to veil in public. We don't bury baby girls alive here.

Yep, I definitely mis-read the person behind these post's, my bad for being to willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but I doubt no longer. 👎

Does it really need explaining to you that you would be playing your part in a system that exploits people poorer than you who sell sex for money?

Many/most are likely to be of ethnic minority origin, who you pat yourself on the back for speaking for on other threads.

LOL

Well I’m definitely convinced

this totally tracks with your other recent posts on this board and paints a completely coherent picture of a principled lefty woman

yep 100% legit. Nothing to see here

What goes on between two (or more) consenting adults is absolutely none of your business and I can’t believe this is the second thread I’m having to answer for this. Honestly it’s like living in a realm of puritans on here.

Here’s this totally legit poster advocating sex tourism on an AIBU thread, just like a real lefty woman would.

would be nice to get an explanation of where you’re coming from here swift
