I asylboendernas fall så pågår ju trångboddheten under flera år, dygnet runt, och med liten konkret hopp på utveckling eftersom de flesta delarna av den nuvarande integrationsprocessen (tack Thomas Billström :sigh:) gömmer sig bakom krav på folkbokföring utanför boende. Lägg till kvacksalvare som Bert Karlsson där grundläggande necessiteter som toapapper dokumenterat saknas på boenden så får man allt vara gott trångsynt för att inte se att detta är oundvikligt.

Yeah, I think exaggerating and vilifying entire groups based on their religion is a bit worse actually. It's funny how suddenly certain people start caring about the wellbeing of women in the suburbs whenever Islam is brought up. Yet on the subject of spousal abuse in the majority population they have surprisingly little to say, despite it being much more common. I wonder why.

I respect Amineh Kakabaveh and she has every right to speak up, but there is no doubt that her articles are used as fuel for Islamophobia by the far right.

Du har missat vad som har hänt nu i januari eller? Att Norska Journalisten visade att Nyheter Idag hade rätt och Dagens Nyheter hade ljugit, sedan att svensk media tar lobbyistrapporter som verkligheten och anser att en kommun tjänar på invandringen om de får pengar från staten. Att det skulle vara konspirationsteorier är ett skämt, däremot är det skönt att tidningarna äntligen har börjat bli lite ärliga om invandringen isstället för att utmåla det som en solskenshistoria. Speciellt med tanke på idioter som du som vill att tidningarna ska dölja sanningen.

Very predictable indeed.

quote:

The “good” man is one who keeps vigilant watch over the safety of his family and readily risks himself in the face of threats from the outside in order to protect the subordinate members of his household. The logic of masculinist protection, then, includes the image of the selfish aggressor who wishes to invade the lord’s property and sexually conquer his women. These are the bad men. Good men can only appear in their goodness if we assume that lurking outside the warm familial walls are aggressors who wish to attack them. The dominative masculinity in this way constitutes protective masculinity as its other. The world out there is heartless and uncivilized, and the movements and motives of the men in it are unpredictable and difficult to discern. The protector must therefore take all precautions against these threats, remain watchful and suspicious, and be ready to fight and sacrifice for the sake of his loved ones (Elshtain 1987, 1992). Masculine protection is needed to make a home a haven.
It's pretty much a perfect fit. Flyktingarna våldtar VÅRA KVINNOR! Om inte annat så visar dom här reaktionerna hur mycket mer feministiskt arbete det faktiskt krävs i det här landet.

Nobody is handwaving away "mass sexual assault". Trust me, every woman inlcuding myself knows what risk groups of drunk men pose. Sexual assault at public events is not a new phenomenon and it wasn't brought here by refugees. What made Köln special is the fact that it aligned perfectly with a reactionary narrative that was being pushed hardcore by racists at the time.

I'm not exaggerating, though? We're talking about large coordinated groups of politically motivated and masked hooligans.

if you can describe a group of hooligans creating havoc on a central station as "literal SA-style mobs are rampaging through cities and attacking anyone they deem "foreign looking", then I take it you have no problems with describing the NYE events as "literal refugee and migrant rape mobs were rampaging through several cities, attacking and sexually molesting any person they deemed a "whore and easy pray"

I read that Journalisten article and it didn't seem to prove anything? There are still only two sources. A police officer who is critical of immigration and "mainstream media" and a psychologist who didn't see any criminal acts himself but "got a lot of information from the police". According to the police officer, the widespread sexual harassment could have been easily confirmed by calling police custody to check how many arrests were made. But he also says very few perpetrators were arrested, but rather removed from the area and released. Which also begs the question how one, without any registration, can know they were mostly ensamkommande from Afghanistan? He also says there were parents, social services and other organizations present. Maybe I haven't been following this closely enough, but I haven't read any testimonies from these parties or, more importantly, any victims. There was that one piece by a social worker who claimed the only thing the assailants had in common were their sex.

I don't doubt sexual harassment happened or that there were a lot more perpetrators than were ultimately charged, but that doesn't sound like anything new sadly. For all we know the police officer and the psychologist are friends/ex-coworkers and the police officer wrote that internal report which DN later quoted. Perhaps DN should have checked this thing up more closely but I see no indication there was any cover up.

I guess I should just put you on ignore but taharrush is an egyptian phenomenon, a country which few asylum seekers come from. It also came to prominence during the egyptian revolution where the harassment and rapes were carried out for largely political reasons and thus had little to do with culture.

I mean, just look at this loving post. What exactly is the definition of "sexual assaults like the ones in Cologne" (which, by the way, certainly isn't in Scandinavia)? Is it that they were systematic and many people were involved at the same time? Because boy, do I have news for you, that poo poo happens in schools all the time, especially in smaller schools (annoyingly you can't google this now because you just get lost in a swamp of avpixlat/friatider articles, but I know I've read about what basically amounted to large scale organized sexual assaults and in some cases rape at certain smaller schools in the avfolkningsbygder up north about a decade ago - I mentioned this in an earlier post), or in weird ones like Lundsberg which basically made bullying and sexual harassment sanctioned by the school for decades - and nobody could conceivably accuse Lundsberg of being full of North African immigrants. Or are you going to start shifting goalposts now and claim it's some kind of special North African sexual assault that only happens at new years' eve or something?


Also, what on earth is with all these Eastern Europeans in this thread who wants to explain to us how terrible the muslims are? It's kind of a thing in real life too, there were apparently some Polish dudes in the rally the other day and I'm pretty sure I read at least one news report that claimed one of the persons who got arrested was from Poland (this has now been redacted though - I'm not sure if it's because it was wrong or if they just decided not to point any national fingers).

The blog also had this to say:

quote:

Invandrare var mer benägna än infödda att tycka att män skulle ha förtur till jobb och att kvinnor bör vara beredda att skära ner på lönearbete för familjens skull. Skillnaden mellan infödda och invandrare var också större ju mindre jämställda länder invandrarna kom ifrån. De mindre jämställda attityderna kunde inte förklaras av skillnader i ålder eller utbildning.

Samtidigt kunde forskarna också märka att invandrare som bott längre i det nya landet hade attityder som låg närmare den infödda befolkningens. Det verkar alltså ske en anpassning över tid. Barn till invandrare gick inte heller att särskilja i någon större utsträckning, särskilt om den ena föräldern var infödd. Anpassningen gick snabbare för kvinnor än för män.

Forskarnas slutsats var att anpassningsprocessen tog en generation, mer eller mindre.

I think the question is whether it's on the individual level, or as a group. Like, it's not that hard to show that Middle Eastern societies have in aggregate, views on sexuality and poo poo which more closely match those of Scandinavia a few decades (or more) ago than they do our present views. Attitudes like that aren't exactly set in stone of course, but at the same time, they're also hard to change. Especially in such a short time as some of the people in question have been here. It's probably pretty fair to say that attitudes won't change for the majority within just a few years.

I haven't read it, but regardless, people are different, and have different values. I get this impression from a lot of people in this thread that they believe our Swedish/western values to be intrinsically superior to other value systems, and that given the chance everybody will fall in line with our "enlightened" way of thinking.
We need to get some perspective; we are a nation of extremists. We got a reality check when we tried to impose our views on abortion on the EU only to find we were in the minority. Our views on family life (and gender roles) are just as radical and maybe the same thing is gonna happen there ...

Islam isn't the cause of gender inequality, see for example India or Japan, but it is often used to justify draconian measures to keep women "in their place". This is clearly seen in Afghanistan and to a lesser degree in Maghreb. So men from these countries, not all of them mind you, will undoubtedly treat women like second class citizens. This is one of the reasons behind these sexual assaults. To downplay, or outright deny this, and treat any sort criticism as "racism" is pathetic.

Regarding "freelancemoth's claim", this passage of the blog is relevant IMO:

quote:

Personer som invandrar till Sverige kommer nästan alltid från mindre jämställda länder, eftersom Sverige enligt gängse mått är ett av de mest jämställda länderna i världen. I World Economic Forums Gender Gap Index 2015 räknades Sverige som det fjärde mest jämställda landet. Syrien, varifrån flest personer sökte asyl under 2015, kom på plats 143 av 145.

Indexet utgår från ett flertal ekonomiska indikatorer, men skillnaderna syns även i attitydundersökningar. I förra vågen av World Values Survey ställde man bland annat frågan om huruvida det var en essentiell del av demokrati att kvinnor har samma rättigheter som män. Man kunde svara på en skala från 1 till 10, där 10 betydde att kvinnor borde ha samma rättigheter.

I Sverige (2011) valde 81 procent alternativ 10. I Egypten (2012) var det 25 procent, och i Irak (2013) var det bara 18 procent. Samma mönster syns även i andra frågor: i Sverige tyckte till exempel bara 8 procent att män var bättre företagsledare än kvinnor. I Egypten var det istället 80 procent.

So you can of course play obtuse and pretend that freelancemoth literally thinks that all muslims/MENA men/whatever literally regard women as literal dogs and ask for his "sources" of studies where MENA men rank women vs dogs or whatever. Or you can accept that the statistics in that blog post corroborate his point - the average MENA native is a bigger misogynist than the average swede.

quote:

Forskarnas slutsats var att anpassningsprocessen tog en generation, mer eller mindre.

I didn't have the time to thoroughly read the study you quote (just skimmed through it), but a couple of things caught my eye:

That study takes into account all kinds of immigrants and their differing attitudes to gender equalities, including the difference equivalent of Italians in France and Slovakians in the UK.

The 90th percentile in the study (D9) represents a difference of .450 (in a range of 0 to 1). The attitude ratio between Sweden and Morocco is 0.590, well within this range.


according to the Gender Inequality Index, Morocco (#117) is more gender equal than Syria (#119), Iraq (#123) and Afghanistan (#152).
Assuming that gender equality attitude mirrors actual gender equality, gender equality attitude in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria is not better than it is in Morocco, at least not to a point where it would drastically reduce the attitude ratio to <.450

These are the results for the second generation in the D9 group:

quote:

The maximum differential is an odds ratio of 1.5 for women with parents from D9 countries for responses on ‘women should cut back item’. Men with parents from D9 countries have an odds ratio of 1.4 relative to natives for both items.

So, the gender equality attitude of the 2nd generation of the D9 group is not similar to the gender equality attitude of the host population. That blog post's claim is misleading.

Also, keep in mind that:

1) The difference in gender equality attitude of the first generation remains high throughout their life, especially for the men. So you get a large immigrant population with really backwards gender equality views, even if the naturalized 2nd generation's views are more often akin to the views of the majority population.

2) Societal values are not static, and with a big influx of people with more traditional gender views, society as a whole will be influenced by their views, not just the other way around. Sweden's current gender views are not a "default value" that will be returned to once you integrate a population of immigrants.


That study was an interesting read, thanks for sharing.

Thread making GBS threads, like in this thread, came to D&D from GBS. Posters from that part of the forums, not everyone, but most of them, are racists assholes. You can hand-waive the mass insufferable posting of the GBS posters away, but they are here and they are different.
