What do you guys think?
There's been a lot of shitflinging on my TL concerning this tweet. Honestly, I'm not sure. Can the "not touching the opposite sex" thing can be just a quaint local tradition or is this necessarily associated with misogyny and patriarchy?
I don't think I've ever known a Muslim like that but in my experience orthodox jews like that are more likely to be misogynistic than not...

Revolutionary defeatism but for culture. If I grew up and lived in a Muslim majority country I'm sure I would have an opinion about it, but as is I don't feel the need to have strong opinions about the stuff I don't like about other cultures while my culture is so terrible.
Maybe it's the "grass greener on the other side" type situation. I like to believe my culture—Russian culture—is very salvageable, despite what it looks like right now...
When I say "my culture" I'm referring to anglo-canadian culture, Russia actually has a culture to salvage lol
You have shakespeare and gay rights and whatever.
I do like Shakespeare and gay rights but I don't know how popular those things are with your average Canadian right now. You have to study a bunch of Shakespeare in high school which people generally don't like lol.
And the right has been having just as much success in the culture war here as they have in america. I dunno if Canadians would vote away gay marriage if they could, but we are just as stupid and bigoted as americans unfortunately
