I suppose if you think I have some outlandish idea of human rights than by all means dissect it.
this is how it works, this sentence that you’ve written there is not an invitation…it’s a construct. You build your construct, I build mine and whichever one is rooted closer to reality and the other accepts wins the argument. What you’re doing there is making a suggestion. You want me to argue that your idea of human rights is outlandish, an argument I will surely loose. To accept the invitation will be to play by your rules. Have to be honest, I’m a little amused that you think I’ll take the bait. One 
I’m not that stupid, and two 
I’m not that suggestible.
I can take the ulterior road, reject your “universal human rights” construct and revert to my “Muslim culture xenophobia” construct that I’ve already layed the foundation for in my previous posts.
I can argue not that there’s something wrong with “your idea of human rights,” but that there’s something wrong with “your idea of Muslim culture.” I can overtly suggest that you have no personal/intimate experience with Muslim culture and Muslim people.
I can argue that your perception of “Muslim culture,” is one Second hand, Relies heavily on political rhetoric, and three is manipulated by mass media. I can argue that you are generalizing, taking few examples and painting people over with a single brush (which is the definitition of bigotry).
If you don’t look two three moves ahead and by some chance accept my construct, you will find an uphill battle arguing “systemic persecution of women” in Muslim culture. In a way I’ve already got you to accept this construct already, when you commented against the “Muslim culture” as the root problem, that generalization was your undoing. Any argument that you bring up now regarding the rights of women in Muslim culture I can successfully counter argue, because Muslims make up third of the worlds population, the culture is spread across many counties and nationalities, there are Chinese’s Muslims, there are Russian Muslims, there are American Muslims. There have been seven women heads of state in Muslim countries, have we broken that glass ceiling yet?
Really this was a doomed argument from the start, but fun though! 
by the way I didn’t mean anything as a personal attack , I just like arguing with you. I think you’re awesome! Hope you’re not getting sore at me
Yes doomed I will agree, as I absolutely never mentioned Muslim until now in this specific post and it is a point in the argument that you would seem to hinge on, facts that have bled through to the rest of the world would be my argument and not the religious choice of the people in Saudi Arabia.
In any case Sean I will not go into this anymore as my opinion is my own and I do not have the time or care to explain how it was formed and to point out the facts that are clearly available to anyone that would choose to make a simple search to understand what type of protection Saudi Arabia affords to its people under its idea of equal rights.
god i hate gender politics, ironic that those arguing against sexism end up being the sexists
look… if there is a gender gap is something these days it down to the freedom of choice, not because of the “patriarchy” or because a community is not “inclusive” enough… if having a different sexual organ than the majority of community makes you uncomfortable then GROW UP
the gender pay gap was debunked in the US back in the 70s… yet “feminists” are still banging on about it… of course not real feminists… those actual feminists are now called nazis by the new feminazis… that is how ridiculous it has gotten
sorry but i think we’ve all reach our quota of this nonsense, its time for it to be called out

Really, yes I got “Sore” about it, I try very hard to avoid any conflict that would involve religion, but honestly I have no problem attacking a political body and that is where I started in this thread.

The word has been part of the conversation from the start, you didn’t have to mention it
Simply not rejecting it from the start was enough
To tell you the truth I snuck it in there at the start of the argument, kind of knew which way I wanted to take it, placed a small trap. I knew you would just go with it or brush it off 
I’m sorry man, didn’t mean to get you frustrated honesty…it’s just good old fun
Accepted, no reason to go to bed angry about my feelers only I care about

It certainly helps to have legal thinkers like Caitlin Long in the space.

I have felt very welcome in this community. I joined crypto/Cardano because it will benefit everyone. I do see that it has the potential to help women especially, and as a woman I will do all I can to use blockchain technology to empower women worldwide.

Happy to see more women in the space Brittanneica. I used to lead a salary negotiations team and every year we pointed out the large discrepancy in salary between male and female workers, and every year there was an excuse why it was so and that it was temporary so even in western societies there are still much work to be done.
When it comes to banking the bankless due to family structures and women choosing to stay home to take care of children its even harder for these women to have a bank account or a credit card. You need a regular salary to open many types of bank accounts. So giving these women financial possibilities through Cardano would be huge.
Finally it is for me wonderfull to see more and more women entering computer science and fields like cryptocurrency. Not to have an advantage but on equal terms with men counterparts and based on merits. I would like a world where my daughter can just as easily grow up to be a coder as she is to be a nurse or an artist. So thanks to all the women paving a way in a new industry you rock

@Andy_Hendrikx What was wrong with my response in order for it to be removed? I take exception to @anon20038177 outburst and my reply was justified. If it needs editing i will edit but to censor freedom of speech is draconian and not what Cardano is all about.
Not speaking for Andy or anyone else but the post you replied to is gone, your post would have been orphaned. Now, of course, this one is.

The language used in your comment and that from Chris don’t belong on this forum. Please refer to the community code of conduct.
@Andy_Hendrikx You know my language was just fine. Put it back up and let the forum members decide. @Nathan_Kaiser please weigh in. As i said before I am happy to edit what language is not acceptable but blatant removal all the time from Andy is not in the interest of CF.
You know my language was just fine
Sure.
pitiful joke, self entitled mind, drama queen, get a life.
It would have been wise if you reviewed your comment before posting it instead of blaming me for “blatant removal” and offering to edit it afterwards.
You’re an adult @knysna and I expect you to act like one.
Actions remain as is.
