RE: Grand Master Chess Player Refuses To Defend Her Title In Saudi Arabia. She is wrong
Most people don't realize (or rather) refuse to distinguish between taking a personal offense vs respecting cultural differences.
You are definitely right. Half of my family comes from the Middle East and they assume my family was “oppressed” when that is far from the truth. They love their home country despite what people tell them to feel.
We would all feel oppressed if we traveled back in time
100 years from now, people would see western culture being oppressive.
You are definitely right. Our women culture works for us in 2017 and we are still working to improve it in 2017. The thing is, what is acceptable and is being worked towards in other countries isn't exactly the same as us. That is completely okay, as long as what is being worked towards is what the women in that respective country what.
