Are British Folk No Better?

[agchristie]

Is the writer correct? She states that we criticise other cultures for their treatment of woman yet British women suffer the same.

Are we a mysogynistic society?

Sexism still exist in the world of employment, on the whole women are still not paid the same as men for doing the same job.

//a willingness to accept that because we think something is wrong does not automatically make it so - just different from us, which is not the same thing. //

the law has a habit of intervening in this one Andy. sitting outside a bar in paris drinking beer - fine. doing the same in Riyadh - it's off to the pokey for you......

Well said andy. The way we wail about Koreans eating dogs as we tuck into our steaks from India's sacred animal is pure hypocrisy.

One has to be so careful with the fairer sex these days, in the past one could hold a door open for a lady and greeted in return with a lovely smile and the words thank you.

And the same could be said when offering a lady one's seat on a bus, but not any longer, one has to be so careful these days with some.

I wonder if their reaction would be the same if aboard a sinking ship and the cry came, women and children first?

And in some jobs they are paid exactly the same, but rely on the men to do all their heavy lifting and carrying for them.
