Qatar’s women, where’s their armband?

[Sallysue82]

Qatar’s women can’t work, study or travel without a man’s permission – where’s their armband?

I'm going to post the archived link but I'm not sure if it will post or not, if not try 12ft Ladder.

I guess their armband is the same place as the one love armband - ie nowhere.

Thanks

Because it's predominantly men driving the rainbow armbands agenda and they don't give a toss about women's rights.

The banning of the sale of alcohol was far more important and newsworthy as well

All in due course. Let's sort everything else out first and if there's time, deal with the women. In the meantime, nobody has been fed while you whine.

LOL. You sound like every man who ever sneered at women needing basic human rights while being unable to work out how to put the food between the bread slices.

Or the armband for foreign workers who are used as disposable humans. Not just those who built the stadiums but domestic help and construction workers.

Sure who cares about the rights of women and girls. Men only care about their rights to sex.

Indeed, anyone would think it’s merely about being seen to support the most fashionable causes.

Was just discussing this with DP a couple of days ago after we clocked the obvious and clumsy attempts by commentators at shoehorning in right-on reminders about LGBTQ+ rights. I feel I should say here that of course I believe outlawing homosexuality is abhorrent.

But NOT ONE WORD about or any reference to the appalling and discriminatory treatment of women in Qatar. Talk about an opportunity missed.

Because when men are discriminated against, it's a tragedy. When women are discriminated against, it's culture.

And children being shot/beaten to death in Iran (alongside the women and men protesting) is what exactly?

Don't be daft. They are woman - they don't count.

Children too though. It’s devastating seeing armed men being ordered or shoot at children - and them actually doing it. When the revolution happened the army refused to fire on civilians.

I’ve been wondering this! It’s been nice to see lots of female presenters but they’re championing trans rights (like they’ve been told to) and missing a huge opportunity to talk about the women.
