Phew. It's a bit of a personal one. I came to the UK (various reasons, nothing to do with poverty at all, wealthy family, I never claimed any benefits, etc) about 15 years ago. I was about 20 back then. I was oh so progressive back then, UK is the land of freedom, Western free thought, so progressive, democratic, tolerant, amazing.
My own country lived in the middle ages in comparison (or so I thought). It partly did, partly didn't.
So my thoughts.
It's ludicrous. No personal responsibility for ANYTHING. Seems like stuff just 'happens' to people .No fault of their own at all, any circs.
Live with the abusive dickhead? OMG, poor dear. Doesn't matter if before marriage/cohabiting he called you a bitch, slag, ho, told your not to wear makeup, told you your family are shit so you shouldn't speak to them, yadda yadda - it's not your fault, dear, your a victim. I mean.... wtf???? Do women have agency here or not? Do they have brains at all? What is feminism? Don't engage your brain and whatever the hell you do/happens to you is someone else's fault anyway?
Fat people. I was fat myself at one point. Size 22, 2 years after pregnancy. I was a single mother, just divorced. Life wasn't easy. Had mental issues from the past. Gang rape, near death, PTSD. And other stuff. Why I got fat? Because I was busy, lazy, loved junk food and ate lots of it. LOTS. I mean. How is that connected? I had, have and will have mental issues. Also, I don't want to be fat. So I'm not.
Also, inability to call a spade a spade. That's the main reason I'm planning to move back to my 'backwards' EE as soon as it's viable. Islam is a problem. Radical islamists are a problem. Their medieval views, incompatible with Western worldview/lifestyle is a problem. Their treatment of women as someone lower than a dog is a problem. But no, 'you won't find mistreatment of women/girls in Quran', 'real Muslims don't do this', etc. Wtf do I care? I visit a country where I was born and where my parents live every year. And you know what? We don't have terror acts, stabbings (on the whole), acid attacks, honour killings, bombings, grooming gangs. Do we have misogynist rapists? Of course we do, it's not an utopia. But the criminals don't choose the victim because she was a 'worthless white slag' and police treat a crime as a crime and courts punish accordingly. None of the handwhringing 'oooh, it would stoke community tensions' etc.
Ah yes. Men can't be women, women can't be men. If you have a dick - you're a man, vagina - a woman. End of story. You can say you're a 'woman' or a 'man', dress accordingly - that's fine. But you don't gain entrance to women's/men's spaces based on your say so.
