poltentapies Yes, the Leftie feminists have done few favours to women, because most of them are coming from the communist perspective where - despite anything unsavoury and undesirable - everyone is equal, even if some men's actions are against women. It's double-think, mildly psychotic.

Thank you Help.

Any chance for links to the other threads?

re wording: I feel that the "religious or cultural traditions" part at the end doesn't quite tie in with the first paragraph. What doe others think?

On New Year’s Eve, women across Europe were subjected to mass assault. UK women must be free to travel, work and live, without experiencing sexual violence or other hate crimes. We ask the government to debate and enforce measures to uphold women's rights irrespective of religious or cultural traditions. 257

How about
On New Year’s Eve, women across Europe were subjected to mass assault. UK women must be free to travel, work and live, without experiencing intimidation, sexual violence or other hate crime. We ask the government to debate and enforce measures to uphold women's rights in a culturally diverse society. 253

Not sure.

It's a form of gaslighting and Emperors new clothes in my opinion.

VertigoNun · 15/01/2016 11:19

Hate crime or crimes? How to use up last 47 characters?

HelpTheAnimalsFirst · 15/01/2016 11:20

Cant we be pointed about this and say "sexual assault"

On New Year’s Eve, women across Europe were subjected to mass SEXUAL ASSAULT. UK women must be free to travel, work and live, without experiencing intimidation, sexual violence or other hate crime. We ask the government to debate and enforce measures to uphold women's rights in a culturally diverse society.

We ask the government to debate and enforce measures to uphold women's rights in a culturally diverse society as per xx Act.

VertigoNun · 15/01/2016 11:23

Can you add a short request about hate crime legislation?

irrespective of religious or cultural traditions but change the 'traditions' to something else because as a poster pointed out, 'traditions' infers something homely and really quite nice.

The irrespective of religious or cultural something part addresses DHs' (and our) concerns that culture/religion and not just patriarchy at the basis of this.

VertigoNun · 15/01/2016 11:25

It is patriarchy behind this, look at China.

HelpTheAnimalsFirst · 15/01/2016 11:25

Vertigo - We have space just for 300 characters.

OP posts:
VertigoNun · 15/01/2016 11:26

I am well aware of the character restrictions.

Pink Any chance for links to the other threads?

Anyone who can link, pls do so. I'm not that au fait with MN.

OP posts:
HelpTheAnimalsFirst · 15/01/2016 11:29

My suggestion:

We ask the government to debate and ensure that hate crime legislation applies also to women in a culturally diverse society.

Religious and cultural attitudes?

everyone is equal
Unless they are leading cadres who get to spend in special shops, send their kids to the best schools etc...

Sorry, off topic.

Pinkchampchoccies · 15/01/2016 11:33

traditions - practices?

VertigoNun · 15/01/2016 11:33

Op you go to the beginning of thread five, then copy and paste the other threads.

As op your posts are highlighted, so it's best if you link to past threads.

Pinkchampchoccies · 15/01/2016 11:34

Religious and cultural attitudes - also good better than traditions.

HelpTheAnimalsFirst · 15/01/2016 11:36

This is 298. If we add a space after full stop it will bring us up to 300.

ON NEW YEAR'S EVE, WOMEN ACROSS EUROPE WERE SUBJECTED TO MASS ASSAULT. UK WOMEN MUST BE FREE TO TRAVEL, WORK AND LIVE WITHOUT EXPERIENCING INTIMIDATION AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE. WE ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO DEBATE AND ENSURE THAT HATE CRIME LEGISLATION APPLIES ALSO TO WOMEN IN A CULTURALLY DIVERSE SOCIETY.

TheNewStatesman · 15/01/2016 11:37

Sounds good to me.

Let's do it. Strike while the iron is hot. Cologne will start falling out of the news soon.

Pinkchampchoccies · 15/01/2016 11:38

Does anyone know if equal opportunities and women's rights are covered in the school curriculum?

They are hot on promoting religious tolerance. Are they just as keen on promoting tolerance towards women, LGBT 'community' etc.?

Pinkchampchoccies · 15/01/2016 11:39

Very nice Help!

HelpTheAnimalsFirst · 15/01/2016 11:40

As you can see Pink I have dropped the comma after LIVE.

OP posts:
VertigoNun · 15/01/2016 11:40

There was an attempt to remove them from the A levels, this has been stopped.

My children were not taught feminism at school. It was something they have been educating their peers about. Grin

Pinkchampchoccies · 15/01/2016 11:42

i am all for dropping commas help Smile. i really like your latest suggestion, it sums everything up, is logical and expresses what i would like to achieve. wonderful. let's go.

rumbleinthrjungle · 15/01/2016 11:43

Religious and cultural beliefs?

I like the original version as it's clearer and stronger, and much of the apologist minimising is based on 'cultural diversity requires time and sympathy for different points of view' - I'm not willing to entertain sympathy for gang rape and those attitudes towards women or accept it's a valid point of view under any circumstances.
