RE: Grand Master Chess Player Refuses To Defend Her Title In Saudi Arabia. She is wrong
You've drifted away from the point with your own narrow point of view. You can't just force your principles on others, because you think you are right. You need to evaluate this line below more seriously. Not respecting a culture does not solve its cultural issues. It has to be approached with delicacy.
every culture is a long-term byproduct of a myriad parametres that have come together over long periods of time.
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.
Yes:
I don't normally just dump YTube links but this gets the point across; you're disagreeing with yourself. Is deciding not to visit a brash, indelicate thing only a brute would do? It sparks debate and social change. Exactly what is needed =/
A reasonable point, thanks ✔
