From your point of view.
why do you think that female genital mutilation is ok
forced marriage is stupid barbarian and primitive
From your point of view.
which obviously disagrees with yours
why do you think its acceptable to force a girl or a woman into marriage
you or at least other readers may notice by now that accepting cultural relativism entails accepting a very lousy deal for girls and women
Have you had sex before marriage?
having sex before marriage does nothing inherently harmful
this cannot be said for cutting off a girls clitoris with a rusty dirty knife
or forcing a girl to marry against her will
And to offer alternatives, through dialogue and example.
why offer alternatives if what they are doing is just as good as anything else anyone else is doing
Sadly the history of cultural contact has robbed the world of much of its diversity by people like missionaries passing judgement on other cultures.
the missionaries were only behaving based on their own cultures logic which you obviously do not understand
what is your problem with missionaries
if you want to argue that the european colonizers methods were counter productive and that they were a bunch of hypocrites that generally did more harm than good that seems like a very reasonable argument but that is not the argument you are making
Calling a woman how chooses to wear a burkha "stupid and primitive", or "barbarian" will not result in them wishing to change their minds or their culture.

when did i do that
a man forcing a woman to wear a burka is stupid and primitive
if a woman wants to wear a burka or a microskirt with buttfloss underwear or whatever that should be her right
you should visit the bible belt sometimes
when it comes to men forcing girls and women to live in a certain way we are ahead of the taliban but by not as much as many people think
we do not need men self righteously going on about how preventing access to sex education and birth control is only wrong from our perspective and how we should focus on the logic of the culture rather than judging it
its easy for you to say you are a man
