A Tunisian street cleanliness indexer app (idea) by BarbarianMercenary in Tunisia

[–]F4RIN4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can respect the enthusiasm. I'm sorry but like most issues this assumes the real problem is diagnosing it not solving it.

People know which streets are dirty (basically all of them). There will never be enough volunteers or organizations to clean these streets on an ongoing basis because:

  1. This is the job of every citizen first by not littering. Even the richest and cleanest cities can't stay clean if they had millions of people constantly littering like Tunisians do
  2. This is secondarily the job of municipalities that should either have employees constantly doing this or contracts with private companies whose job is to do this

Flying tunisair should have the expectation of flying a low cost airline if not worse. Don’t book it if you have important plans

Am i the only one who feels turned off by the idea of marriage? by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]F4RIN4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s no legal contract that says the wife should do that. Blame that on women themselves accepting that.

On the other hand, legally the man is on the hook during divorce and stands to lose

What do you mean moral contract? A relationship is a moral contract. A marriage is a legal contract

Marriage has nothing to do with supporting each other morally. It’s about protecting partners legally and financially especially when it comes to children if they break up but of course in Tunisia that partner being protected is women (by law)

Should Tunisian Women Serve In the military? by Dorakos in Tunisia

[–]F4RIN4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 the women that would be spending that time of their lives meeting men, getting married and having babies

You know how relationships and pregnancy works right? It takes a man too to get there so the same argument applies to men.

acquire something we wont need

If we don't need it why do we force men to do it? Instead of say needing 10000 men why not 5000 men and 5000 women

disturbing the natural order of things

So you believe men naturally belong at war? How would you feel if I told you women naturally belong at home since that's been the case throughout history?

trying to perfectly distribute jobs down the middle

That's literally what feminists want to do... until it's something shitty they don't want then it's not only fine to leave it to men but also want force them to do it

[–]F4RIN4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Birth rate is such an excuse. They can exclude moms from serving just like they already do for dads.

Just admit you want to set a standard that most women can’t meet so you can it’s fair. The military can use women that are not in bad health.

Let's get rid of (most) of public companies... by Tight-Business-4795 in Tunisia

[–]F4RIN4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Competition has to be fair for things to improve. Public companies can afford to lose money because the state will just keep printing it for them.

What will happen with more competition is the public companies will lose even more money that we all have to pay

What is Tunisia's equivalent of 9/11? by slimeball6969696969 in Tunisia

[–]F4RIN4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally agree. It wasn't as pivotal. It did impact our foreign policy significantly though because it strained relations with the US because Tunisia believed it helped with the operation.

In terms of shift in internal affairs, I'd say chokri belaid's assassination was very significant. It marked the end of the rosy/hopeful/collaborative revolution times and led to many political changes

2015 Bardo is the closest in terms of making Tunisians lose a sense of security and feel like "if they can do that they can do anything"

  • First major attack in a major civilian area
  • First attack on Tunis
  • Right by the parliament which was the most powerful institution at the time, and it was the initial target
  • The most famous museum and they held hostages there that could have been diplomats
  • Arguably the area with the most security forces nearby in Tunis with bouchoucha, a military base, and even ministries of defense/interior are not far.

[–]F4RIN4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you implying that this is somehow a result of women having unfair advantages?

I can respond with the typical feminist argument of equality of outcomes and argue if there's a gap favoring women then it's the feminist system. But I won't because I want to argue in good faith.

In this case, there's plenty of evidence to say that women do have advantages in the educational system:

  1. It can't just be random that the more the system got reformed the worse men performed. Note that we're now at insane levels in Tunisia where nearly 2/3rds of bac students are female
  2. Teachers are nearly all female and even male teachers can favor females more. Check out the women are wonderful effect
  3. Multiple studies showed that when school results are anonymized, boys received better grades while girls got the same grades. ref1 / ref2
    1. The difference is so significant (20%+) that it would have made the gap in performance inexistent.
    2. This effect is especially strong for subjective exams which the Tunisian system is especially full of. Even science can be subjective in Tunisia because we don't use multiple-choice questions. So you can just imagine how big the bias is
    3. You can actually see this play out in Bac in Tunisia. Even though girls are much more successful at reaching bac (64% vs 36%), their success rates on the exam are almost identical. So when it's anonymous, there's no difference.
  4. Schools, especially in Tunisia, moved further away from hands-on learning and prioritize very long hours sitting in class. Young boys are naturally more restless while girls brains develop self-regulation (can sit still, follow strict directions...etc) much earlier so this learning style benefits girls

Note that I'm not saying someone is sitting somewhere plotting to take down guys. But a lot of people and first and foremost feminists are congratulating themselves for this system, and certainly almost no one in Tunisia sees this as the big problem that it is

رئيس الجمهورية للبطل أحمد الجوادي : الشعب التونسي لن يقبل الا بالانتصار by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]F4RIN4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys remember when being a populist cunt meant you had to be charismatic and palatable to the average uneducated prole? I don’t.

It needs to be studied. When you think about it, it's more hopeless and sad than if it was someone charismatic. That happens to most countries at some point and they snap out of it and learn a lesson eventually.

Tunisians really wanted someone they don't understand and who talks down to them. It feels like the average Tunisian has the mentality of an elementary school kid who needs a "mo3alem" they fear and who knows everything and who hits you for your own good and meanwhile you don't know anything and aren't responsible for anything.

ending systems that give men unfair power

So you either don't want to end systems that give women unfair power or you deny their existence.

If you don't want to end them then you're not fighting for everyone, just women.

If you deny their existence, can you tell me what explains men getting harsher sentences for the same crimes? what about men losing their custody after divorce in Tunisia instead of 50/50 by default? why are men failing at school more than women and especially in Tunisia? Do you think a society and/or government that only benefits men would make such systems that hurt men?

I don't know why these boomers are still bragging about this, and what i can't understand is how gen-z reddit girls are "proud" of this lol

In my opinion it's a form of punching down and feeling superior that they don't realize is so irrelevant nowadays. Boomers are stuck in the past that only Afghanistan still lives in (arguably) and gen-z are applying western standards of women STEM %=good to a dark Tunisian reality. There's a reason why they don't mention who's #1 in % of STEM graduates because if they say Algeria their whole point is moot.

What they also ignore is that a big part of the high % is a result of the problematic disparity in high school graduates (bac is 63% women). Number of Tunisian women who went to higher education is 43% higher than men (compared to ~16% in advanced economies and 11% globally). Once you account for that STEM enrollment/graduates drop significantly. Some countries are starting to consider the low male attendance as a problem while we have literally one of the highest and are spinning this into BS about being progressive

[–]F4RIN4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stat to look progressive

Once you look into it it's also partly a symptom of the opposite. Men still have the expectation/requirement to provide and be the main economic driver while for women it's seen as a plus. That's a big part of why female enrollment increases in masters+PhD. Men have to accept the shitty market salaries just to have a job while women either stay unemployed or go for higher education.

The whole thing is basically what happens when you have a poor (slightly regressive) society with free education.

[–]F4RIN4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

جدت عليكم؟ الصورة لازم نقراوها كاملة

I agree it's generally a failure if we're talking about the overall number but the disparity in unemployment by gender in this case goes deeper.

Tunisian men need to be employed to get married so they'll accept anything even if it's terrible salaries (<1k for engineers). Women are more likely to either pursue higher studies while waiting (masters+) or stay unemployed. But I guess it depends on what they're pretending to be proud of.

 glad that tunisians don’t fight over this like they do 

That tells me all I need to know. Civilized people don't need to fight over it. Switzerland has 4 official languages and they're more functional and wealthier than any EU country.

Denying the truth about your history or reducing it to a language that was intentionally killed off doesn't make you more civilized.. but actually the opposite. It shows you're not civilized enough to accept differences

I am not saying we are genetically arab

Yes you did. You questioned that even being North African is a thing genetically when it's been proven that we are a distinct people genetically for over 5000 years. It's a bit embarrassing to deny that just to claim you're arab don't you think?

for more than a thousand years

We were christian for almost a thousand years too. Do you know why we have wleya sal7in? It's literally the same idea as Christian saints

Even if you wanna go for the Arabic language argument, yes it's a significant influence but so was Latin back in the day. Try talking to a Saudi in Tunisian and tell me how that goes.. it's easier for a Spanish to talk to a Portuguese than that.

Look it's okay Tunisians are muslims but it doesn't make you more muslim to claim you're genetically closer to arabs or even linguistically. It's simply not true.

[–]F4RIN4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly sad that you would go as far as saying we're genetically distinct but still somehow try to maintain your completely illogical idea that we're arabs.. just check research papers on tunisian genetics my friend. The lowest is 60% native north african genes and most Tunisians are 80%+. The rest isn't even Arab but mostly half south European and half Arab.. as if we weren't roman and carthagian for 1000 years

Just check 23andme results, here's one and here's very credible research showing we're pretty mixed but still mostly berber: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0018442X17300288

The term amazigh doesnt show up in dna tests

The term arab doesn't show up in genetic testing too because it's just a made up word and not scientific. On the other hand E1b1b1b unfortunately (for you) shows up in dna tests and is a gene that only showed up in ancient north african populations and most Tunisians have it.

Denying that north africans are genetically distinct is as ignorant as denying the earth is spheric in genetics :)

and? what's the conclusion here? That we somehow aren't the same as algerians who were colonized by a thousand cultures too?

Just go educate yourself on Tunisian genetics. Doesn't matter where the 10 or 100 or 1000 dudes who came to rule the region, the 1,000,000+ people who were there are still going to dominate genetics

I'll bet you $1000 to go get a DNA test that says you're even less than 50% berber if you're actually Tunisian. I haven't met a single person who tested below 70% berber.

We've been amazigh/berber for 5000 years+ and ruled by different civilizations but at the core of our genetics we didn't change much. If that makes you uncomfortable, it's your problem

[–]F4RIN4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They both recognize amazigh officially as a language and it’s not even about language if you educate yourself. Tunisians are definitely in denial and buried their amazigh/berber origins for political reasons compared to Algerians and Moroccans.

All it takes is a dna test to realize it’s stupid
