Polish and gypsy traditions [140]
That statement says more about you than me.
No, it doesn't - you are the one giving out such vibe, so how about you make your stance more clear.
the more developed and affluent the society, the less slack the6 can be cut.
That's not what you're doing though. I haven't seen you criticising the level of women's rights in Saudi Arabia, for example. The same with Iran which maybe isn't a rich country, but it isn't some third world hell hole either. You even dishonestly compared wearing a hijab in Iran to women wearing coats in Europe. That's the kind of bullsh1t behaviour I'm talking about.
Why use that nasty word? What have people with learning disabilities ever done to hurt you.
Don't be obtuse. I use this word whenever "stupid" doesn't cut it as the translation of the polish word "debilny" and that's the meaning of this word that I used in that context:
merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retarded
"
informal + offensive: very stupid or foolish"
Also, I don't recall you having any problem with me calling Novichok a "moron" or calling his comments "retarded", so spare me this sudden hypersensitivity.
As for Romany traditions, they've ensure survival against all odds
OK, but it's 21st century. There's no reason to believe anymore that menstruating women are somehow morally/socially/religiously "unclean" or that hospital is "unclean" and therefore you shouldn't go there. That's simply a dangerous conviction.
That's what people have pushed them into.
That's probably partly true, but I suspect that just like in case of Jews it was also intentional - to preserve their culture and ways. Such self-isolation has its price though - such hermetic communities are more likely to be rejected by the society or at least treated with suspicion.
