(135,425 posts)That is what she said the prevailing sentiment in Jamrock was.
Please, people, read what is written! Stop making assumptions about how people feel about things without any damn evidence!
She is REPORTING, not endorsing. She is telling us what people in Jamaica are saying--she hasn't given us one single solitary word about what she "thinks" about this matter. She does point out that she knows the culture on the island, and while I haven't been back for years, I have to say that from what I know she has a point--it always was a "boys will be boys" type place, a few years behind in terms of sensitivity and progressiveness in a number of regards.
I think the over-eagerness of many on this thread to pile on her, and accuse her (without any shame) of sentiments she does not possess, say a lot about the perpetually enraged accusers--and none of it good. There are people on this thread that owe miss malaise a heartfelt apology, and these same people need to learn to READ before they shoot off their mouths and accuse a woman of sexism for simply telling us what an ASSHOLE (her words) was accused of doing, and how the island is reacting to it.
I'm very disgusted at some of the comments on this thread--not yours, mind you, but this is broad brush piling on at its worst.
