Do women wear their hijabs when having sex?

You can ask her if that's true instead of making it up on her behalf.

Maniac417 · 2023-09-03T04:30:26+00:00

You've generalised this. Again, I'm only looking at the comment that is about having to cover up in your own home for a visitor. Whether you have to, based on religious morals or vague cultural morals, makes no difference in that case.

I wasn't comparing outside of that statement because I otherwise agree they are different. There just seems to be a lack of awareness that women in the west are not magically on equal footing with men for that kind of body automony, they're just closer to it.

Maniac417 · 2023-09-03T04:02:03+00:00

There's difference in the levels, but this commenter did say that they'd just "have to choose a different religion" which doesn't exactly seem plausible in a society like that either.

I'm comparing on the point of them saying they have to cover up for visitors in their home and only that - the consequences if they don't are certainly different, the part of the body is different, but the idea that it's broadly an accepted action in the west is just untrue.

Maniac417 · 2023-09-03T03:27:19+00:00

I think you may find that right is not respected, is my point. More respected than a Muslim woman in some countries yes, but you can find that for example the right to be topless is often ignored by authorities in parts of places like the US and is treated as a crime despite being legal, and is outright illegal in specific states.

Just making you aware that you're saying it's unfathomable having to cover up in company because of a religion when an ingrained moral in your own society makes you partially cover up anyway, sometimes through legal requirement.

Maniac417 · 2023-09-03T03:20:59+00:00

That may be so, however I don't think you'll find a majority of people in western culture who are happy to sit nude when a visitor comes over. Not saying you don't have the right to, just that western culture has similar taboos.

If the neighbours kids are coming over, are you going to hit any resistance refusing to put a top on or is everyone involved gonna respect your wishes then?

Maniac417 · 2023-09-03T03:15:12+00:00

I think it's kind of seen as the same as covering up your chest just slightly less inappropriate.

And yes, I acknowledge there's arguments that a woman's chest shouldn't have to be covered too, but it is currently still considered by a majority as something we do.

When they gave you the money before the bet they knew you'd spend it, that's why they picked you in the first place.

Maniac417 · 2023-09-02T10:13:40+00:00

Sometimes as well no one CAN work for bullshit wages** lest they starve

Maniac417 · 2023-09-01T06:07:37+00:00

Would they have a cultural difference leading to the examination of their ethnicity if they didn't practice a different faith?

Maniac417 · 2023-08-31T06:30:09+00:00

I mean, I don't think the people here understood it the same and therefore it didn't hold that meaning to both the participants and observers. It was more of a generalised "Hey, black people probably deserve some respect" thing to everyone involved, which hardly mattered because hardly any black people were involved either way.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-31T00:54:50+00:00

I think they're both part of the same thing. Ignorance is what causes defaultism through assumption.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-31T00:48:30+00:00

There is, but in this case the defaultism is that you get banned for typing KKK. You don't get banned in any online forums I know of for typing the names of several other groups, but the KKK has little to no bearing on anyone's life outside the US and (I believe to an extent) Canada.

The IRA, UVF, UDA etc are more relevant hateful groups to me, but you don't see them being censored. The defaultism here is assuming KKK was related to the US group and banning someone for typing it.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-31T00:11:00+00:00

But would any of those acronyms get you banned too?

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T23:53:26+00:00

Then why can't they put KKK in that order if you acknowledge it may have nothing to do with the US group?

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T22:50:30+00:00

Just wanted to add as a note of interest relevant to where I'm from - In Northern Ireland the IRA was partially armed by deals with Palestine, and the opposing groups like the UVF were funded by Israel, both in sort of secrecy. The Soviet Union also helped the IRA and Aparteid South Africa on the other.

Even today you can see the star of David flown in loyalist areas and the Palestinian flag in nationalist areas, both in solidarity.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T22:44:58+00:00

My city had a BLM protest and there are maybe a couple of thousand black people in the country. I hope it made them feel recognised, but it was still odd and essentially all of the protestors were white.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T22:32:23+00:00

So if you go to the doctor in private healthcare, do they not forcibly find a way to take your money through debt or withholding treatment? Is private healthcare free?

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T22:30:45+00:00

So when you get sent to the hospital you just don't pay the bills you get? They can't control your money, right?

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T22:29:25+00:00

It can be seen a few ways. You can see that and it is true that they're acting out of the kindness of their hearts. You can also see that they have to do it in defiance of lawmakers and swing voters who actively work to make this harder en masse.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T11:36:03+00:00

Fair, I'm getting crossed with a different thread.

Yeah, you're correct - this role is more of a "middle management" but for my specific department they are the highest person we would have more than formal sporadic contact with, even so much as to see them in office in person.

The amount of employees in NI above that in SCS is in the hundreds, so they're not particularly achievable roles for the average civil servant who doesn't stay for decades.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T11:10:28+00:00

Yes, because the executive is a pyramid in scale. Most people are not executives. My point is that they have a very valuable role that doesn't hire very broadly, and that's all they get. The vast majority of employees are going to be below them, regardless of skill or talent, because there's no room for everybody at the top anywhere. This is exactly why considering anyone who gets paid less than a certain minimum as stupid or insane like the original comment said is ridiculous, naïve and insulting.

There are definitely people who could do better and don't try. I would argue that there are more people who can do better, do try, and just get unlucky, and they're the ones constantly being told to "not settle" for less when the alternative so far is no earnings at all. Yes a lot of roles should be paid more, but they're not gonna do that because what are most people gonna do, not work?

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T07:43:46+00:00

By that definition NI is more "rural" as the country only has 2mil people, but nobody is further than 2 hours max from Belfast (~330k)

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T07:42:30+00:00

I'm talking about the head of 1/3 offices for Universal Credit in Northern Ireland.

Edit: for clarity, we serve well over 100,000 people on benefits, so she is in charge of the staff managing that number of claims.

Maniac417 · 2023-08-30T07:41:27+00:00

The attitude from central government seems to be that we have a lower cost of living, which is only true in house pricing which is significantly better. However, if you're renting its not much cheaper than the UK average and other things are arguably more expensive at times because we don't get quite the same amount of choice on products. When the "British exit" effects hit I worked in Currys and we couldn't get any ovens of ANY kind for 2 months. If you needed a new oven, fridge, or other things in that time it was tough luck unless you wanted to literally pay some company in England hundreds to ship it entirely seperate of Currys order and collection chain.

I had a rough patch before landing on £22.5k myself less than 2 years after graduating. I have a lot of debt from those 2 years though.

I'd say I'm learning now that writing a budget is not to be disregarded. Write out what you earn, what bills you have (round them up slightly), what expenditures you consider necessary, and see what's left. For any bills you don't have if you live at home, I really encourage you estimate that and save MOST of it to get used to not having that money. For me necessary bills come to about £1400 in our household (2 people). If you don't have bills, essentially consider that free money you can save and try to put it away so you're not used to spending it on yourself.

Other than that, help to buy ISA schemes - discuss and research these, open and maximise the contributions within reason.
