I'm settled traveller married to a non traveller AMA

Just that really 

@yes there are seen as lesser

You think your father was justified in punching the teacher?

he assaulted him this is a criminal act, is your father above the law?

I think it's very telling that royalty was the example that you used to illustrate your point

@Bluestitch just is, girls are pure and need to remain that way until their wedding night

So no sex before marriage for girls only, but it's ok for boys? I assume adultery is illegal, so the boys can't have sex with unmarried girls or married women. Is it ok for boys to shag older women whose husbands have died then?

They are seen as lesser? Then you are part of a toxic, prejudiced community.

Traveller boys can have sex with non traveller girls because it's ok to soil them, they are seen as beneath travellers
Lesser people who don't matter
Traveller women must be kept pure, like royalty

@Wordthe teacher should have done as he was told in my eyes, he didn't do it again after so it took that to stop him, sometimes that's what needs to be done before people listen

Oh the teacher DESERVED to be violently assaulted for the 8 year old curriculum of the most basic level of science there is.

That’s fucking disgraceful. I’m off.

I did say that this thread would quickly turn sour.

Do you think non traveller girls are 'lesser'? Do you think any of this is sexist and damaging?

It does seem very toxic

@Wordthe spot on 👌🏼

Your lack of education is pretty clear OP.

I wouldn't want to be part of a community that thought violence was an acceptable way to settle a dispute

It's all good, it's seems bad from the outside looking in but it's fine

Was your father prosecuted for the crime that he committed?

Nope the teacher said bother, he knew he was in the wrong

Hmm this thread is slowly providing readers with plenty of anti-traveller fodder: sexist, thuggish, anti-education...

Cool story bro.

I think this is a wind up, surely travellers aren't really that primitive?

I did say that this thread would quickly turn sour

OP has made it so. If the attitudes she is displaying aren't prevalent in the traveller community then that suggests OP is goading for a reaction. If they are, then they deserve to be robustly challenged.

What your father did to the teacher is a perfect example of why most people distrust the traveller community. They can be a law unto themselves. Complete disregard for society's rules and boundaries . I feel sorry for you

So travellers will start paying income tax if HMRC use fisticuffs?

I love the notion that you think you can dictate what the state education curriculum covers while not paying a penny into it.

Legally there has always been a right to withdraw from sex Ed so the teacher was in the wrong. Obviously it should not have got physical but the teacher created that situation by ignoring the law and putting the op in sex Ed presumably because he believed he knew better than her parents.
