In reply to the discussion: UN: Britain's sexism more 'pervasive' than any other country [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)From other discussions here anything from porn to wearing a bikini on a magazine cover is seen as degrading and dehumanizing to women causing people to not respect them at all (and thus fuels sexist attitudes that leads to worse things).
Most any action can be seen through a lens similar to that - complimenting someone, making a remark about a dress (yeah, men don't often comment on how other men in places like washington dress because they pretty much all wear dark suits and power ties and black shoes - ain't much to comment on if you ask me. Same goes with hair styles and such really. Men are boring).
Point is one sees a slew of things which are called out as being sources and causes of problems. And when, like in this thread, you compare those problems across the globe in an effort to rate a country as the worst it seems just a tad odd to me that folks honestly believe (or would want to promote the belief) that the UK is the worst.
Point out issues they have, sure, we do that all the time on a million other issues. But marking them as the top of the heap just ain't flying with me.
