Your opinion sort if contradicts itself.. Like shouting at somebody for not holding the door open for you and then shouting at them for opening the next one for you because youre capable of doing it yourself!

But if thats the conclusion you came to after understanding their perspective, then fine. Youve done more than most in this thread by at least acknowledging two sides.. but i just dont think you can cry for gender equality when youre ignoring social and cultural equality.

You can hardly flash the equality card either since you've argued for most the day in support of religious sexism. :shrug:

Only incorrectly-perceived-sexism from several tibb members (and indeed, the angry woman in the misleadingly titled video), which im also against.

How convenient that you deem it not to be sexism. Well established it is not. You aren't against sexism, sorry to disillusion you, your stance is compliant.

Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that. Kid yourself that making a paid up female passenger move was respectful.

It's not an isolated incident either.

“For me this is not personal,” Ms. Rabinowitz added. “It is intellectual, ideological and legal. I think to myself, here I am, an older woman, educated, I’ve been around the world, and some guy can decide that I shouldn’t sit next to him. Why?”

Go get em' girl! :hehe:

Would the link she used which groups two entirely different religions together count., you know, as she links two different stories from two different perspective for two different reasons and makes out that theyre the same exact thing not be enough evidence to suggest that shes thought too little about this entire situation?

And thats where the difference is. Youre acting insulted for the sake of acting insulted because in your mind being excessively polite is just as discrimantory as discriminating is. Whereas i take each case for what they are.
