  1.  @ever-fh4qf  arranged marriage isn't oppression.

  2.  @ever-fh4qf  arranged marriages are different to forced ones. Only migrant groups. practices forced marriages here. Public stonings do happen though... "Lost", the fact that you're trying to say that this is some kind of a competition is laughable. Women are not oppressed in the West. You have never given examples. It you marry because of family pressure then that's your fault entirely.

  3.  @ever-fh4qf  forced marriages do exist in some cultures and communities, so yes it is still practiced. Sexism to women might exist, as it does to men. That isn't oppression.

  4.  @ever-fh4qf  how is sexism oppression? Your average person doesn't have any power and so can't actually "oppress" someone.

  5.  @ever-fh4qf  lol sounds like a pretty pathetic example. Maybe grow a backbone and it won't happen.

  6.  @ever-fh4qf  neither are you. "Oppression" is systematic and needs to have actual power. Saying mean words isn't oppression.

  7.  @ever-fh4qf  why don't you talk about forced marriages, stonings, etc in parts of the world where it is an actual problem? I've looked back at your first comments and you mentioned forced marriages as it's practiced by native Europeans lmao. If you genuinely believe that then you're absolutely deluded.

  8.  @ever-fh4qf  where am I wrong? Please show me. I have actually researched this unlike you who just makes up "oppression" to suit your argument. Forced marriage is a migrant problem. You might be too scared/weak to admit it but it doesn't mean it isn't a fact.

  9.  @ever-fh4qf  rather than arguing based on emotion why don't you just give up?
    1
  10.  @ever-fh4qf  so what about the women who abuse men? Are they part of it too? Arranged marriage is part of the culture for many countries around the world, but not in the West...
    1
  11.  @ever-fh4qf  why can't you just accept that it's a migrant problem? Why does that scare you? You haven't given any evidence that force marriages happen with native Euros.

  12.  @ever-fh4qf  yeah second generation migrants... People of migrant descent.
    1
  13.  @ever-fh4qf  you haven't given any facts. I've continually shown you which groups commit forced marriages and yet you're too seemingly weak/scared to admit that it's a migrant problem. Why does that scare you so much?
    1
  14.  @ever-fh4qf  show me ONE case where it happens with non migrants. Just one...
    1
  15.  @ever-fh4qf  you probably live in a gated community and barely know about the real world. EVERYONE knows which cultures/groups commit forced marriages. You're too scared of looking "racist" (which doesn't even mean anything) and weak (probably physically and mentally) that you can't even admit that it's an issue. LOOK AT THE STATISTICS. WHERE did I say that all of the world's problems should be pushed onto migrants? I said that this is a unique issue within migrant communities, which it is. If, like you say, people are "pressured" into getting married by their families and they do get married (which isn't forced marriage) then they are just pathetic.

  16.  @ever-fh4qf  you are a racist against my culture...you are mocking the English/European way of life where arranged marriages are a huge custom. How dare you!?
    1
  17.  @ever-fh4qf  you're just a spoiled, sheltered brat judging by your comments. You are too scared to appear "racist" and so you make up oppression. Go out and experience the real world and see for yourself who is practicing this so called "oppression".
    1
  18.  @ever-fh4qf  it might be a Western issue because migrants/other cultures do it in their countries, but it isn't a part of the culture. If you claim that then you're just a liar.
    1
  19.  @ever-fh4qf  you never gave examples of forced marriages happening in British culture amongst actual natives.
    1
  20.  @ever-fh4qf  no, I just came across this video again and remembered. You didn't win anything, you made up "oppression" probably due to a strange victim complex. Even if there were an example of a forced marriage amongst natives I would legit feel no sympathy for them if it were only due to "family pressure". If they're that pathetic to get married over that then that's their fault.
    1
  21.  @ever-fh4qf  I haven't shown any racism or sexism. You're just making stuff up. I think you just have a victim complex.
    1
  22.  @ever-fh4qf  you didn't insult me. If acknowledging real life issues is racism then so be it.
    1
  23.  @ever-fh4qf  you spoke as if it were an issue that needs addressing, it only needs addressing in certain migrant communities as it's so prevalent. That's undeniable.
    1
  24.  @ever-fh4qf  are you denying that it needs addressing in certain communities?
    1
  25.  @ever-fh4qf  offensive to who?
    1
  26.  @ever-fh4qf  who cares if you offend people? Feelings don't matter. Just because you yourself have been sheltered and spoiled your whole life doesn't mean that you're exempt from being offended.
    1
  27.  @ever-fh4qf  so you're denying that it needs addressing in certain communities?
    1
  28.  @ever-fh4qf  arranged marriages aren't a problem. They're a big part of cultures within South Asian cultures in particular. It is part of other cultures. That is different to forced marriages which are a major issue and should be addressed.
    1
  29.  @ever-fh4qf  you claimed that arranged marriages are a sign of "oppression"...they're not. Loads of south Asian people I know have had arranged marriages and they were often able to choose. Again, it's just part of their culture. It's different to English/European culture as it seems alien, but as long as they're not forced then it's fine.
    1
  30.  @ever-fh4qf  you showed no evidence. Why do you dislike arranged marriages so much? Sure, they're a big part in other cultures (South and East Asian, African, etc), but as I said as long as they're not forced there is no issue. It's different to what we're used to and native Europeans don't really understand them, but as I said other cultures have their customs.
    1
  31.  @ever-fh4qf  your original point was on "oppression" and used arranged marriages as an example. That is NOT oppression.
    1
  32.  @ever-fh4qf  then that needs addressing in cultures where it happens and is common (i.e. South Asian and East Asian). Most I know were absolutely fine with it. However, in many of these cultures the women do not get much of a say and cannot go against their families, and in particular their father's, wishes.
    1
  33.  @ever-fh4qf  forced/arranged marriages is a very, very bizarre example to use in terms of "oppression" in the West/Britain. As I said I have zero sympathy for a British person who is in a forced marriage, if they even exist.
    1
  34.  @ever-fh4qf  East Asian or South Asian women in forced marriages I feel sorry for ofc. I however feel no sympathy for Europeans if they partake in it (if they even exist). They have the law and culture on their side.
    1
  35.  @ever-fh4qf  so you think that white people partake in arranged marriages?
    1
  36.  @ever-fh4qf  so you can't give any examples...
    1
  37.  @ever-fh4qf  give an example...
    1
  38.  @ever-fh4qf  circumstantial to everyone...just ask people. You don't know anything about the UK and yet you're here telling me about our culture and what happens here?
    1
  39.  @ever-fh4qf  for some reason YouTube deletes my comments. Probably to avoid offending spoiled, sheltered people like you... I keep on posting stats from the Home Office but it always gets pulled...
    1
  40.  @ever-fh4qf  your main issue is is that you've been very sheltered your whole life.
    1
  41.  @ever-fh4qf  are patriarchies a bad thing?
    1
  42.  @ever-fh4qf  I have found facts, just YouTube kept deleting comments with the links. I haven't once insulted you, I was making an observation. You are most likely spoiled and sheltered with very limited real life experience. You also know nothing about the UK.
    1
  43.  @ever-fh4qf  as we have established: it happens in Europe but only amongst certain communities.
    1
  44.  @ever-fh4qf  you haven't posted any "facts" yourself.
    1
  45.  @ever-fh4qf  yes amongst certain communities, ie migrants. Royalty too to an extent. But you claiming that it's a massive part of our culture is hilarious.
    1
  46.  @ever-fh4qf  if it were part of the culture and arranged marriages were promoted then maybe you'd have a point. But the fact that you're trying to claim that arranged marriages are a symptom of oppression in the UK for example is absolutely hilarious.
    1
  47.  @ever-fh4qf  you've argued on emotion mostly, maybe because you want to feel oppressed due to your victim complex due to the fact that you have had such a spoiled and sheltered upbringing. I pulled up stats from the HOME OFFICE.
    1
  48.  @ever-fh4qf  Irish/Romani Gypsy, African (Nigeria, Ghana, Somali, Algerian), Pakistan, Bangladesh. And the English/British Monarchy I think still practice it. These are the only groups that practice it here. So that means that this so called "oppression" is being exported here...
    1
  49.  @ever-fh4qf  the royals sometimes do it here, I'll give you that. The common English? No chance at all.
    1
  50.  @ever-fh4qf  because you were talking about oppression over here...
