Merged Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

[Poem]

You still aren't actually answering my question.

In the sense that we don't try to enforce our laws on them, yes we do. But likewise, we don't let them apply their laws to us. Again, do you not understand how sovereignty works?

I didn't ask about being "called out".

The US and others do not respect Afghan law - the sanctions / asset freezes prove that.

I keep asking you questions and you ignore them.

False analogy. Content that is described as 'barely illegal' in the US

Who has us that term?

(and indeed always legal in the US) is illegal in Australia (zero tolerance remember). No mention of the phrase 'barely legal' need be made from Australia's perspective. It is just CSAM. End of.

This is complete rubbish.

 

[catsmate]

We are back to examples from that Beyond Fantasy: Barely Legal film. Are you saying some of those girls don't look 14...or even 12?

What ages are they?

What ages are they?

18+

'Used' you mean? Lots of folk.

This is complete rubbish.

Because?

Are you going to tell us what CP meant?

 

[catsmate]

The USA is a disgrace - it facilitates porn that many if not most other countries seems CSAM.

As you've been told, this is not true.

Lawsuit over sexual assault aboard Navy transport ship dismissed as worker’s comp issue

The order handed down this month closed an attempt by a civilian engineer to get justice for an assault she said threw her life into shambles.

A judge dismissed a lawsuit from a civilian engineer in the Military Sealift Command after it was determined that her report of being raped in her own bed aboard a Navy transport ship was within her duties and must be treated as a worker’s comp claim.

That's got basically nothing to do with their internal laws.

I keep asking you questions and you ignore them.

Because I asked you a question first and you still haven't answered it.

The West imposing sanctions against Iran isn't in part because of their attitude to women?

Because I asked you a question first and you still haven't answered it.

I am answering by making the point above.

As you've been told, this is not true.

Where?

That can look like they are 12...which means the porn looks like kiddy porn - especially when that is the intention.

No evansion found. Now stop evading telling us what CP means.

The West imposing sanctions against Iran isn't in part because of their attitude to women?

No, it isn't. Which is why we don't have sanctions on Saudi Arabia.

That point isn't relevant, because you're wrong.

Evidence that they can look like 12 year olds?

No, it isn't.

WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating Iran’s Morality Police for abuse and violence against Iranian women and the violation of the rights of peaceful Iranian protestors. The Morality Police are responsible for the recent death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested and detained for allegedly wearing a hijab improperly.

Which is why we don't have sanctions on Saudi Arabia.

Not sure that proves anything. Why don't you explain?

 

[Ziggurat]

You seem to be confused about the difference between a pretext and a reason. Women's rights in Iran are a pretext, they are not the reason. The reason is that Iran is any enemy of ours.

Saudi Arabia has very discriminatory policies against women. We do not sanction them as a result, because they are not our enemy. Their internal policies are not actually much of a concern of ours.

Still no response to #5,648 or #5.599 - and the latter is relevant to your question.

The piece I cited:
Treasury Sanctions Iran’s Morality Police and Senior Security Officials for Violence Against Protesters and the Death of Mahsa Amini

I fail to see where you have dealt with that. It is there in black and white.
