RE: Grand Master Chess Player Refuses To Defend Her Title In Saudi Arabia. She is wrong
I'm not forcing my principles on others, I'm just criticizing a culture based on facts. If no one is criticizing the negative aspects of culture then that culture will never change.
I think we can all agree that forcing women what to wear is not a good thing. Or that cutting womens clitorises is not a good thing. Or stoning women to death because adultery is not a good thing. Or not allowing women to go outside without a man is not a good thing. Or not punishing spousal or statutory rape is not a good thing. Or selling little girls into marriage is not a good thing.
Political correctness as it is used by many today kills reasoning and logical thought.
I ask you what I asked @kyriacos: do you respect a culture that thinks using slaves is completely fine?
None of this is good but as I said it has to be approached with delicacy, otherwise what you will have is people rejecting your actions as a defense mécanism because they in some way, think you are infringing on their rights. You have to respect culture but entirely it's priniciples. It has to be approached in a way that you do not offend people.
