I am very interested in how you perceive the sexism and the Roma "issues". But then again, I bet you don't have many clear arguments, if we are talking of state policies France is pretty much the opposite of conservatist. |
What is there to say about the Roma? France keeps deporting them even though Bulgaria and Romania are part of the Europeon union, specifically trying to keep them out of the free travel agreements due to well... racism.
Outside that. Sexism, france has ridiculious levels of sexual harrassment, not sure what more there is to say about that. You've caught up somewhat legally with the 2012 rule change, but are nowhere near the US. I'm not even sure how or why you'd try to debate that... as it's a pretty obvious and well known thing.
The whole thing stems from the fact that the US sociologically has seen sexism as an attack on human rights and dignity, and traditionally in europe it has been seen as an ecomic loss... Made espeically bad by the whole French "seduction" culture.
I mean... shit, stuff like this happens... in government. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/10/french-mp-fined-chicken-noises
and no... France really isn't, another thing to look at is it's race policies, which is to institute race "color blindess" which coincidentally is the exact same thing conservatives try and do in the US... because to do so promotes and perserves premade sturctural inequalities and often allows racist attitudes on the basis of "Oh we don't see race".
It allows racial inequality to simply be overlooked. Well, until said minorities start lighting cars on fire anyway.
