I don't give no two fkks about your tradition.

@CrazyMusicLover It's not that it's that countries penalize women for fighting back. The video of the assaults at this festival had comments from people saying to make sure to carry a taser or mace. In a lot of countries it's illegal to have any form of weapon. A few women said they were assaulted by police for carrying mace too as laws are against it. So basically the govt weaponizes that and makes it hard. And in a lot of countries abuse and other things are still seen as more of a family issue so while they may be arrested for abuse in public, a lot of the laws are barely legal stuff which is how they get away with it. It just becomes acceptable at some point.

Basically, women's abuse is weaponized and further protected under the govt.

Also you would have to have the resources and heavy weapon power to take something like that on, which many females who are forced to marry super young just don't have, much less many older generations of women seem to accept much like America conservative women when they agree with their misogynistic male counter parts, despite them not benefitting from it at all.

To fight with something like that means basically risking death.

I agree with you, this isn't in disagreement exactly just that the odds are against women from right out the gate. They would almost have to be extremely brutal and have weapons, other resources to do that.

@SatanBurger No, I meant defending oneself in a lawless manner. Like real gangs, organized groups.


This is what I see as the main problem. Many women think "terrible but at least it didn't happen to me." and many will defend men for their own protection. There's no real sisterhood or a potential for a hierarchy in a group and has probably never been. Women rarely truly support each other, let alone at the cost of self-sacrifice and much more often will take the man's side to protect themselves.


Of course.
