    Alternatively you can also avoid going to countries with no respect for human rights. Act in a way that if everyone else did too it would have an actual impact on the world. Be the change.

    You have to respect people. You don’t have to respect ideas.

    Passively expressing disinterest in another’s ideas is part of the very nature of humanity, and is absolutely not disrespect.

    I’m not inheritly against different cultures wanting to maintain their values, but I definitely wish people could freely enter and leave their culture.

    In the case of Qatar, I can imagine not many women would be interested in staying if it was super easy to switch cultures, but at the same time cultures around the world are beautiful, even if different, and it’s a shame that they can’t be preserved.

      Cultures evolve like anything else. Even language is constantly evolving. Preserving cultures is for museums, not for a growing society. I think that’s part of the reason we are in such a shitty place everywhere. 2024 and there’s still racist homophobic idiots everywhere trying to preserve the “good ol days”
