Norway's Muslim immigrants attend classes on western attitudes to women

Every immigrant in Norway must attend classes on female rights and respect for women. The lessons were made compulsory after a string of sex attacks by immigrants in the western city of Stavanger.

With exclusive access to a class in action in the town of Moi, 65 miles south-east of Stavanger, Jenny Kleeman meets the students and asks whether western values can really be taught in a classroom.

I think maybe it was slightly lost in translation - english as a second language is a challenge after all - I think the point he was trying to make is perhaps "fixing houses" is such hard physical work that a woman who does this as a career might have regrets lol (I know I would!)

[@omminnoremac]

What he said was not so insane. As J says it was slightly lost in translation, but what he was getting at is that despite the now overwhelming rejection in the west that there are intrinsic differences between men and women, the proportion of men working in construction or proportion of women working in kindergartens suggests otherwise. Of course, this is often disregarded as a result of long standing social factors, but that to me seems unlikely. What was not so reasonable was his over generalisation. Obviously it's not the case that "women can't fix houses", it's just that MOST men naturally tend to take an interest in more mechanics based careers.

[@AndreasDevig]

@@omminnoremac You speak as if all gender roles and social masculine/feminine conditioning has disappeared from the west. I don't think that's the case. I think it just looks that way to a lot of people, maybe because they view the world through the lens of the past, so they compare today's world with how things used to be, and say things like "The world believes in androgyny now" or "The whites are under attack." Even if it's true that men and women are inherently different, why does it matter so much? You can still do whatever you want with your life. And that would basically be my message. Not "Women are like this and men are like this." But rather "Stay true to yourself. Follow your dreams. You do you boo. You can do whatever you want."

Anyone who is religious will pull out this trump card anytime they want to shut down someone suggesting a better way that has empirical evidence. We are only now finally tackling this anti-intelectualism in western countries and religiosity is dying. Many countries are ahead of the curve on this one, with better separation of "beliefs' and state decisions. While still maintaining personal beliefs with some self awareness mixed in. I don't think I mentioned a single person in my comment. The incompatibility of equitable society and religion/tradition is a no brainier. Religions teach knowledge comes from authority rather than sound evidence. This sets people up to be gullible and easily misinformed. Or they have no vetting for what information they let in. The end result is the same. Religions/traditions excuse actions without material or humanist justification. It lends this skill to theists as a catch all as well. They just can't get away with it as much anymore as the secular morality of societies marches towards progress that can point to an actual objective based moral system and not just one that is whatever someone wants to interpret, believe. People can be who they want without being harassed for arbitrary characteristics that don't effect others.

Your home itself can represent your heritage, being filled with objects and traditions that remind you of home. However, when you are interacting with citizens of the host country, you should act accordingly with the manners of that country. Edit: Oh wow thank you everyone for the likes!

They act so entitled, it's sickening. They should go back home if they can't respect the culture. They'd expect the same of us if we went into their countries and started demanding it be changed and demanding they "learn about us."

[@AlexK-df5to]

@masha If Europeans went to a country they were not from and knew very little about, and acted like "no - you need to know about ME and MY CULTURE" that would be just as entitled as the people in this film. They have done that in the past, and it's JUST as wrong. Pointing out entitlement isn't racist just because the entitled individuals are a certain race/religion. Also, when a particular culture has undertones that require a class to be taught on respecting women, that's a problem. I will not respect a culture where individuals treat others with disrespect. Don't throw your used rhetoric at me because I acknowledge that.

What does it say about your belief system when a female cannot show skin without the risk of being sexually assaulted because the males have no nor teach or advocate self control?

[@lindalarsson1436]

They even cover up in their own home if someone outside of family visit..

[@motherofangels1710]

@@lindalarsson1436 I've seen plenty of females here in America that really should wear more clothing, and generally they are seeking the type of attention they attract, however I believe if your "assets" are not on open display then there shouldn't be issues with harassment. Having to cover yourself completely with only the eyes showing the majority of time is absolutely ridiculous. I think all the males should practice the same expectations they put on the females. Then again what do I know, our country isn't in the greatest shape either🤷.

UM, they say thet the Norwegians don't understand their culture - but what they fail to understand is that they are in NORWAY - the Norwegians did not go to their country and start demanding THEY understand Norwegian culture while they are living off their taxpayer doillars. - and they aren't RAPING their women! It's insane to me .How about a little GRATITUDE??

[@aparnamehta7036]

It's great that Norway recognises the urgency and importance of teaching immigrants about their attitudes towards gender equality. But sadly, the immigrants don't seem to care.

It’s frustrating that they’re ‘annoyed’ that they have to go through the classes. BE GRATEFUL Norway has allowed you and giving you refuge! Integrate! We’d be forced to if we were in your culture so do the same for ours!

[@TheKFDCase]

Frankly, it's a scathing argument in favor of a comprehensive moratorium on any and all opportunistic immigration/asylum until such a time as all existing immigrants/refugees have been empirically proven to have been fully assimilated into the local culture. Standard safety procedure during an incident is to freeze the situation, identify the issue, isolate the issue, then solve the issue before continuing. If these people are to be helped it must be in their respective home countries or as close there to as possible.

They can be thankful they didn't have to need to refuge

[@lizcasazza8524]

They’re very ungrateful. I’m American dating an Argentinean man and we’re in the process of applying for his visa so he can travel to the US with me. He has to learn English, prove he earns a steady income, have no criminal record, pay thousands for an application, do an interview, then wait a couple years while these people are complaining about a FREE course in exchange for living in a first world country

Not true: northern and western europeans who migrated to Spain,Portugal still didnt learn the language , never adjusted to the culture and they made neighborhoods of their own kind, you are hypocrit because you dont know alot and are probably too poor to travel to see that northern europeans have 10x more diaspora then middle easterners

[@dr.s.choudhury8089]

@@kagomehigurashi2345 it's sad but it's the unfortunate truth that years of faulty conditioning as well as social structure has ingrained in people's minds that women are 2nd class citizens who can't enjoy doing all what a man can. We have taught our girls to be obedient, docile and dutiful (even to the most horrible men out there) but have not taught our boys enough on how to treat women right. We are just raising women as rehab centres/ punching bags for men. Our previous generations can't even acknowledge issues like Marital rapes, consent *along* with free will etc, seriously. Hopefully we and our next generations can address all the problems and bridge the gaps existing in moral values and ethics. It's really appalling that even in today's time, some men and even some women think it's OK for men to do things as "boys will be boys" and ladies should be behind doors of their houses and only in kitchens. 😡😓

[@aaronconlon3880]

Felicia Golding There are 48 countries in Europe of which 28 (soon to be 27) are in the EU. Of those countries only 7 had African colonies, arguably 8 if you include the Dutch settlements in southern Africa but these were established independently from the Dutch government. We had nothing to do with the colonial empires of Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany (who's colonial empire lasted less than 30 years) and Italy but you expect us in countries like Ireland, Norway, Poland etc to somehow feel responsible for their histories.
