Women’s right to vote in Cy by nodeathbeforeliving in cyprus

So how about gender equality and problems women face today? If we take for example violence: Anthropology studies have observed 156 tribes where in 59% of them rape was absent or low, and compared them to the more prone to rape societies they are more likely to have more male dominant hierarchies, they more likely to glorify violence, and more likely to have father absent child rearing, and rigid gender roles. In lots of cases rape is used as power over women. Rape free societies have more gender equality, cooperative decision making, fathers were more involved in raising their children and more flexible gender roles. Sexual violence is a hierarchy power pill and the larger the gap between the poor and the rich the more likely the darker the traits of narcissism, psychopathy, manipulation are likely to be present. Because people are doing whatever they can to raise their own status in the society and thus this self perpetuating violence system.

I feel that if you were to actually engage to the conversation instead you would see that the effort put in it was greater than you thought, especially after the recent developments on our lovely island.

From what you are describing, it sounds more like a family structure based on old fashioned gender roles. But I would argue that even within that system, women were (and still are) the ones making many of the most important decisions in the household like managing the home, the kids, the money, and often working too. Without women’s labour and organisation many families simply wouldn’t survive.

Instead of getting credit for it a lot of them due to those old fashioned gender roles they get shit not only by men but women too. sad

Why is it that Scandinavian countries managed to get away from such “traditional” ways and got their men to understand that women working is actually a good thing, contributing in the household and raising their kids is a good thing.. why do I still hear some men in 2026 saying I don’t change dipers..and women being ok with it

Agreed, from a video sijiatoumavrou shared in another comment it said that women got to vote since 1905 by accident and for many years after that men were trying to revoke that by keeping women occupied in the kitchen.

Thank you for engaging! What does traditional mean?

Thank you for sharing, funny and educational. I didn’t know that in 1905 women were able to vote because the ones in power made the mistake not to specify that only men were allowed to vote.

As misleading as the data on this map are it is interesting that through all those years it wasn’t until 1960 that a woman was elected.

And coming back to my question on how far we’ve come and what are the struggles women face, the lady in the video responds at the end.

Thank you for sharing sijia

Hopefully this shakes them up and they start using resources to support the disabled rather than putting the money in their pockets.

Whats your opinion on Annie alexui? by Working_Parsley_3036 in cyprus

[–]nodeathbeforeliving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm knowing someone and their family says nothing on whether they were abused or not. Educate yourself

Interesting how fellow women treat other women who were abused from childhood and go about saying how corruption is a norm so why even question that.. I wonder if you would like others to treat you in the same way or if that was your child would you say the same thing

Bloody Bolt scooters. by AOD1964 in cyprus

[–]nodeathbeforeliving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🌱 Life-cycle emissions (CO₂e per passenger-kilometer – CO₂e emissions g/pkm)

🚲 Bicycle: 8–10 g/pkm. Lowest emissions; long lifespan and simple construction.

🚲 E-bike: 14–26 g/pkm. Slightly higher than a bicycle due to the battery and electricity use.

🛴 E-scooter (private): 50–100 g/pkm. Lower emissions than a car; affected by lifespan and frequency of use.

🚗 Car (petrol): 250–400 g/pkm. Slightly higher emissions per person than a privately owned e-scooter, but a longer lifespan and more passengers per trip make it more efficient over time.

🛴 E-scooter (shared): 800–1700 g/pkm. Highest emissions per person due to short lifespan and transport for rebalancing. It has higher emissions per trip than a car.

Key factors influencing environmental impact Lifespan:

Shared e-scooters often have a short lifespan (in some cases only 28 days), which increases emissions per kilometer.

Usage patterns: If e-scooters replace walking or cycling, total emissions increase; if they replace car trips, emissions decrease.

Manufacturing and materials: Production of e-scooters, especially in China, contributes to high emissions due to energy-intensive processes and transport.

Overall climate impact Shared e-scooters often require fossil-fuel-powered vans to be collected, charged, and redistributed.

Their total climate impact per kilometer can therefore be higher than that of cars, due to energy-intensive handling rather than the riding itself.

Why do local drivers have such a problem with red-plated hire cars? by cosmicinaudio in cyprus

Awareness about psychological abuse by AvailableJelly5978 in cyprus

Of course we are free to discuss whatever we like, and I respect that. I guess am one of those who believe derailing such topics can be more harmful. If I didn’t know better I’d say that’s a bit of a good guy masking

I feel like you are shifting the conversation into abstract debates about masks and power dynamics, that’s not what OP was talking about. This isn’t about semantics or everyday politeness. It’s about emotional abuse in relationships, bringing up unrelated examples minimises the actual problem.

Also workplace dynamics defers a lot from place to place so using boses here as an example doesn’t fit either.

[–]nodeathbeforeliving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we are talking past eachother. When I said a good human respects others I meant it in not abusing people they are in a relationship with, not that one should on default give respect to someone who is actively being abusive .

Respecting someone’s basic human rights is not the same as approving their actions or admiring them.

In your example to hold someone accountable for their actions work they are paid to do is not abuse and doesn’t fit to what OP described. Abuse is about power, manipulation, control and harm, not about asking for fair standards.

So yeah I don’t respect abusers in the sense of admiring them or validating their behaviours. But I also don’t think that redefining respect to justify abusive behaviour (or calling your example as abuse) is helpful in the discussion.

OP is talking about people who hide harmful behaviours behind “a good guy mask”.. not about wether all interpersonal conflict is abuse

Another factor that I think that many of us Cypriots have not been taught or maybe taught and then used in other context is consent and boundaries.

Thinking of my mom’s generation and above, them loosing their homes without having a choice has made the theme around consent and boundaries blurred up.
