I actually supported the idea of Trump over Hillary lol! So the latter is not really that bad an option
Providing opportunities is just fine ... and If a group that perceives itself as marginalized and in need of help, and can go and convince people to give them any sort of opportunity ... good for them ... The problem I have is restriction on visitation ... so as a man I can't visit this market ... why ? because I'm a man which must mean I'm a "potential domestic abuser/predator" ... that assumption doesn't sit well with me at all ... and it shouldn't sit well with any one with a level head on their shoulders ...
What you brought up about cultural sensitivities is in fact a rather interesting topic. Our "culture" is quite interesting. In our objectives resolution, our laid out aim was to follow the principles of islam. Yet our entire economic system is based on the system of interest. Coming to social issues, our citizen's are the first ones to judge each other on the basis of Islam when it comes to social matters .. yet we're also the first ones to break Islamic principles when it suits us. Just look up the state of bribery in our country, nepotism and the list goes on. People who are very "Islamic" who go about and condemn concerts and other such events are more then happy to visit Mehandis and watch girls dance all up and down the stage and that's not a problem because it's a "family function" ... Your allowed to be judgy as all hell when it comes to things like marriages, where the guy side of the family goes out and completely berates the looks of the girl, while the girl side of the family does the same to the guy's wallet where demanding a seven figure salary from a mid 20's kid who has just started his career is somehow the objective ...
Our "cultural sensitivities" are basically like this ... " I don't like what your doing so I'm going to use a cultural argument against you to manipulate you in to doing ... what I want you to do"
I do not know why people link cultural sensitivities with religion because mostly these are altogether different.
As far as this rule that no man well the news says a man can visit the market if accompanied by a woman hehehehe this made me laughing because it is an irony that Taliban barred women in parts of KpK from visiting markets unless they are accompanied by a male member of family. Now this is really epic in this case
