Misogyny top trump's? We're so morally and culturally superior aren't we? Hmm

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 13:56

There is rape in every country, and DV too but what I am talking about - as all of you well know - is the ingrained behaviour, beliefs and attitudes of some cultures. gender superiority will not give up its throne easily, and definitely not in the 2nd, 3rd or even 4th generations imo.

I do not see anyone in the West, man or woman, receiving lashes in public or having a hand removed. No comparison at all.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 14:01

The mask slips....

SemiPermanent · 22/03/2017 14:06

Your mask slipped long ago Ghost.

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:09

Grimes is denying that such beliefs and practices exist in the world.

OMG that TRULY is denial of the highest order.

squishysquirmy · 22/03/2017 14:09

"I do not see anyone in the West, man or woman, receiving lashes in public or having a hand removed."

Well no, because those things are illegal here, and rightly so. Which proves my point that generations of immigration have not successfully turned our law and culture upside down, as you seemed to be implying earlier.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 14:21

Project fear from the leavers. The immigrant bogeyman. Shameful.

squishysquirmy · 22/03/2017 14:21

"Grimes is denying that such beliefs and practices exist in the world."

OMG, where, WHERE is she doing this? That TRULY is the highest order of making shit up! OMG.

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:23

Beliefs-attitudes-behaviour remain within an individual from such a cultural background because they do not see anything wrong with that type of punishment. The fact that it is illegal in the UK in some cases strengthens that belief. In any case, living in the UK does not extinguish reprehensible attitudes; I wish it did.

If you check out some of the women's groups (such as Southall Black Sisters as well as our own Refuge) you will see that beatings of wives, sisters and daughters continues, as do honour killings, FGM, forced marriage. The fact that laws exist does not change behaviour, only modifies it and keeps it under the radar for the most part.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 14:25

Absolutely squishy. Got really nasty in here. Brexit is not in my name. No fucking chance.

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:26

No response from Grimes to factual information. Just a weak muttering about mask slipping. That is evasion if not denial - do wake up Squishy.

CountMagnus · 22/03/2017 14:26

SouthallGirl - is that you?

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:27

You think it's nasty on this thread? You did the bullies and sadists proud on the WM one.

Badders123 · 22/03/2017 14:27

Wow.
That escalated!
Can't leave you lot alone for a minute!
😳🙄😖

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:28

Is that message to me? I am not in southall.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 14:29

When you look at the amount of historical sex offences by high profile offenders in this country i think its abit rich to point fingers.

squishysquirmy · 22/03/2017 14:31

Magnus: I was just thinking that exact thought!

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:32

No, I do not think it is rich. men will always abuse sex. well-known men especially but one difference - they know that what they do is wrong. not the same at all.

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:34

Squishy - Are you MyBoatisFullofEels?

GhostofFrankGrimes · 22/03/2017 14:34

No denial or evasion here. I'm not closing borders because of your irrational fears. And that's my polite response.

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:36

So Grimes, to be absolutely correct about this. Are you saying that a country, any country, can never be over-full and that services and housing can expand ad infinitum?

Bearbehind · 22/03/2017 14:37

svetlana, your gripe is clearly with Muslim/ Islamic people, which is disgusting to start with, but why is us leaving the EU going to help with that at all?

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:39

My gripe is (i) with overpopulation per se wherever it comes from, and (ii) importing hostile attitudes especially towards women.

squishysquirmy · 22/03/2017 14:40

How will marginalising and spreading prejudice against Muslims help women from those cultures Svetlana?
Southall Black Sisters are an admirable organisation, working to stop those problems you highlighted. It is full of women who completely disprove your theory that all immigrants (and children, and grandchildren) from certain countries are incurably indoctrinated with misogenistic beliefs.

Svetlana33 · 22/03/2017 14:41

Interesting that Bear has not expressed any disgust about the treatment of women in some of these countries.
To me that means she does not think it is important.
