that's echo chamber logic and the result of confirmation bias. Maybe among the people you know sure. Globally? That's rich.
-
Not globally, no! Certainly not. I'm talking abt western society. Polls show 80- 90% support for gender equality.
-
Here in UK only 5% of ppl felt women shld obey husbands although much higher among Muslim Brits.
-
My main energies have been directed at religiously-motivated sexism coz that seems to be the strongest correlation.

I've had trouble getting ppl to support the most vulnerable women. Compare figures.pic.twitter.com/e0rR3XY90T

This is largely due to cultural relativity dominating feminism at present. Muslim feminists having trouble getting support...
-
...if they're trying to address misogyny in their own communities rather than bigotry & discrimination by white westerners.
-
partly to do with competing arguments. Those against discrimination argue historical feminism in Islam. Not what we see today.

There's a special register for sex offenders & they have to be separated from other prisoners for their own safety.

I don't think people who sexually assaulted sex offenders help your argument. The opposite, in fact.

The concept of the 'nonce' - lowest of the low. Murderers & armed robbers despise them. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nonce&defid=1679429 …

not who I'd go to for a character reference but I get what you're trying to say. But prison hierarchy isn't law abiding society
-
I think, as a culture, we are not at all tolerant of sexual violence. An accusation can ruin a life.
-
Majority of sex crime appears to be committed by a small number of recidivist offenders rather than a cultural norm.
-
and most crimes here go unreported and aren't prosecuted because the victim is frequently held at fault. She should be careful.
-
Yes, sadly that is true. But I'm not sure that's a gendered problem. Men report sexual assault even less espec. when by women

I think some may be in denial to its extent, though. But some feminists defend female abusers, too
-
Yes, women are punished less severely for sexual offences coz men or even boys are seen as 'lucky' to be abused
-
There are studies showing how the language changes - she 'seduced' him, etc
-
Yes, there is a definite imbalance which privileges female sex-offenders,
