The problem is.  France still has a lot of those problems under the joke of pretending to be socially progressive.

There attitude towards women and minorities in general are still crap and their main way of dealing with it is ignoring it and passing laws to ignore it.

Their is a solution to solve the problems of the minorities in Europe? The last years Europe has shifted to a more Centered right political climate simply because their are no solutions. Well their are but that will pick up hatred to the original born population and will make the situation to women worse.

What is your solution then?

I know how Hitler would solve that problem.

(That's my way of saying I really don't know what the solution is)

draik said: So with the NATO HQ, EU Parliament and EU Commission located in Brussels, and the EU president, president of the International Olympic Committee, next year EU presidency,...all being Belgian, the last remaining position would be the head of the UN right? New world order under Belgium? Read this on neogaf, had to lol. Bow down for us.

Oh oh this promises for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

How does giving equal economic oppurtunities to minorities = worse for women?

Or lack of religious discrimination worse for women?

In general, France's natural born citizen's opinion of women is shit. 

1) In this case nothing. But their are not equal opportuniets? An immigrant has become president of France.  Or are you talking about those riots where a large group of (north) africans put cars in fire? You mean those (north)africans who think it is more important to be a cool gangsta then study and become something? Those (north)african who then finish school and can't find a job? And then simply blame it on not equal oppurtunities while their are others (north) africans who could made it and have a great carreer....That is typical Urban stuff for me if you ask.

2) To give you a simple example.

Moslim women betrays her husband,  husband beats her to dead (stuff that happens, I bet you can vids like that on shocking videos sites'
France police arrests him because it is obviously against the law, family of husband and 100's of friends demonstrate at a police station and end up making a fire in the P.station. Claiming that they don't respect their religion.

How can you have a sollution for that?  Do what the France law says and don't respect their religion.....or respect their religion but throw away the rights of the women in the water.

Religions have always been a problem, especially if countries have mixed religions;..It is the same in the 50's when christians said teaching children 'evolution' was the work of a satan and didn't let them go to school anymore.

3) Can you give an example?

1) Your blatant stereotyping proves my point here more or less.  How would you react to an American statement that the reason their is a race gap is that "Black people are lazy and thinks it's cool to be gangsta and don't study."

2) There are plenty of laws that are distinctly against Islam that aren't related to "beating your wife."  For example the headscarf law.  It's a law that's offense both to Islam and Women... as it's the french government telling women how they should dress. 

3) Sure.  The above is a good example. 

Look at French Sexual Harrasment laws.  They are ages behind the US, UK and other Western powers.  What is the definition of sexual harrasment in France?

"Sexual harassment is harassment by a person based on behaviour aimed at obtaining sexual favours for his or her benefit or for that of a third person."

In otherwords.  Only Quid Pro Quo sexual harrasment.  Stuff like hitting on a woman constantly or even trying to kiss someone in the workplace is not covered.

Studies have also shown that sexual harrsament is seen soley as an aspect of sexual desire.  Much like evolutionary biological opinions on rape... which are just comical.

So in otherwords... if your a woman and your being sexually discriminated against... you only get to keep your job if your boss says "Sleep with me or your fired."

There are virtually no cases of sexual harrasment filed in France despite the fact that they face just as much if not more discrimination in the workplace then places like the UK and US.

In fact, a number of people who lost sexual harrasment cases under the ridiculious france standards were given large fines and prison sentences.

In general there have been plenty of studies that show french attidues on women in the workplace are crap...

Other examples.

The World Orginzation Against Torture often talks about how women are mistreated in french detention centers.  Even more so then other people... france having a problem there as well.

Unemployment gaps between men an women places the EU 17th out of 25 in the EU in 2004.

A women was denied citizenshp specifically for wearing a burka... in 2008... and it was upheld by the government.

The wage gap between men and women is higher in france then the UK.

people who come to a country shoudnt expect to have laws changed to suit them,they come to a country so they follow that countrys rules
