(no subject)
the fact that we live in a world where fgm still exists is quite disconcerting.
but does the UN (specifically the UNFPA) examine the cultural framework of these communities before going in and distributing "equality" en masse?
nooooope - they take the usual approach.
throw in a culture day
some alternative gender roles
and presto chango
the issue is resolved.
right?
wrong.
for this and so much more, i wish we learned about cultural relativism in school.
i am so sickened by this universal imperialistic bullshit.
it's time to find real solutions for really different groups of people.
