To think sexism is still the most prevailing issue in the world

[OdeToDiazepam]

At work late yesterday and was listening to the conversation between two of the chefs

Both men aged in their early twenties

One of them asks the other if he's heard of Sarah Payne.. I think he had some point to make about her law but the other one claimed not to know of it.
The first one says with a smirk oh she was this little girl that got raped and killed and left in some woods..

The second man interrupts and says 'you know every primate species known does the same thing' in a manner that suggests this is a frequent thing for him to say

The other one goes oh I know yeah.

One of them has a daughter and they were perfectly aware I was with them and could hear them.

Later on in the conversation regarding the ghostbusters movie
'If you're a woman it's alright I guess
Women are generally inferior.

These weren't said as jokes these were matter of fact.

Even if these were said as a joke
Even if not all men etc etc

Replace the word woman with black. With Indian. Your reaction? The polices reaction?

Women are being attacked abused and killed at huge levels by male violence. Women are subjected to hate crime and misogyny and discrimination

We all know this but have you ever thought.. no one cares

No one in government no policy.. the police? No. It's not fashionable.

We're a group being subjected to this shit and yet if we take issue with it were subject to ostracism, being ridiculed,

Like I said.

'Black people are generally inferior'
That ok?

@FriarTuck women are set alight alive for dishonouring the family, that could be trying to get away from abusive husband or by being raped but it’s the woman’s fault. What about the poor girl from India who was gang raped and then they pulled her innards out, she was chucked by the side of the road like a piece of meat. There are terrible thing s that go on but seems ok to talk about accept if you bring up the terrible treatment of women and girls, look at Rotherham, nobody was aloud to discuss it, those poor girls, there seems to a hidden hatred of women which is acceptable

If we're talking 'the world', at present I'd have to disagree.

Worldwide, we need to address inequality. Unequal access to food, clean water, healthcare, education, sustainable and fair employment, contraception. Followed by human rights and associated freedoms.

The patriarchy is a massive problem, but people drinking filthy water, being flooded out of their villages and getting shot aren't that fussed about it.

If you mean the white westernised world, you're absolutely right. Women's rights are under sustained attack from men in multiple ways.

It's not a competition

I don't need anyone else to tell me how abusers can get away with it thanks

And no it's not individual police it's the system.

Look at how many rape cases actually make it to court and the absolute joke of sentencing and what women are put through (recent examples in Ireland etc) sex games gone wrong etc it is rife

It's not a competition but it still seems like women are bottom of the pile despite being half the population

And I don't wish to throw anyone under the bus, it's the fact that other characteristics are respected and treated with an understanding of it being wrong and not acceptable to make jokes about

Women on the other hand are expected to tolerate it or be accused of being uptight

I agree and I think it’s getting worse,
