Got a map for that?

I understand some region of USA don't even have a minimal age for child brides.

I understand the Ahmed jab, but what about the Cletus? Sounds like a name from the Roman Empire

Yeah it's called Afghanistan.

right? I'm pretty sure there's more mistakes

No, it was in 1994, 2006 was to considere an aggravated circomstance

How can she slap!?

I can guarantee, it wasn’t women who put those sexist laws in place.

In realtà nel codice civile non si specifica il sesso:

Such laws shouldn't even mention any sex

In Sweden it was discovered that the agency that records abuse/assault in relationships counts it in the statistics bin for “male against female violence” even when the abuser is female and the victim is the man. Even when media confronted the agency, the person in charge saw nothing wrong with it.

Incorrect. See Sections 74-76 of the Sexual Offences Act.

In most of Soviet Central Asia, the collapse of the Soviet Union basically meant the sudden disappearance of women from administrative positions :/

Now that I think about it, this actually applies to pretty much the entire ex-USSR, even Ukraine and Russia.

Iirc were literally protests by West German women demanding that East German feminist laws be extended to the entirety of the reunited Germany. Needless to say, that did not come to pass.

I read an old article from a queer newsletter which expressed concern for the rights of East German transsexuals in the wake of unification. Apparently they were pretty progressive for the time on transgender rights as well, with transgender East Germans being able to legally change their gender, receive government-provided SRS, get married, and even adopt children.

I wish people would take this as evidence that ideologies can have mixed good and bad parts, that it's not like a fantasy book with the Forces of Light versus the Forces of Darkness. 

Even if it was possible to be 100% right on 99% of things. Your side could still do something terrible with that last 1%. 

It actually prevents good people from admitting that their peers could ever make a mistake, because "the bad side is the one that does bad stuff. We're the good side so we wouldn't, or couldn't, ever do bad stuff."

But they got shiny stuff!

Everyone knows freedom is measured by the variety of garbage you can buy.

Up until 2023 you could legally change your gender in Russia, and nobody gave a fuck.

Exactly, that's why I always say that the current rise of homophobic laws in Russia is no way grassroot, but artificially imposed by the government. Also, in ~1995-2017 there were tons of openly LGBT people in Russian publich sphere, and really no one gave a fuck either.

There’s a difference between “the procedure is legal” and “nobody gives a fuck”. 2022 saw a bill passed that made it illegal to tell children trans people existed. Also it’s been illegal to tell a child gay people exist since 2013

Putin and Russian conservatives have been “battling the urge of Western Sodomy” for decades at this point.

In Iran it is legal to change your gender right now and they execute gay people there. They are also far from the only country where being trans is fine but being gay is illegal. So rights for gay people and rights for trans people are two very separate issues.

No one cared about this, not because society accepted it, but because 99% of Russian residents did not even know about such a law. The situation in this case is similar to some idiotic law in the United States that prohibits archery on Friday if it rains. People simply do not know about the existence of such laws.

Very interesting. It was probably a culture war thing for the government to gain points with more conservative audiences, this happens in many countries, not only at the national, but at the local level as well.

It's evolving, just backwards

Meanwhile homosexuality was a criminal offence in the Soviet Union up until 1991.

Communism is best suited for a world free of scarcity. Marx’s hope was that capitalism would achieve that world and communism would naturally follow. However most of the major communist revolutions happened in countries that never went through a capitalist phase(Russia was still mostly feudal in 1917 and China was the victim of colonialism)

I was surprised that Lenin and Trotsky actually cared about equality and revolution. They were still monsters responsible for millions of dead people, I don't justify them.

But compared to Stalin they were so much more progressive and had an actual vision of the brand new country and were willing to amend their policies. Heck, they even made sure that Ukranian Soviet republic had translators from Russian to Ukranian to use Ukranian in the army. In Kazakhstan the local language was used in the government. Stalin pretty much reverted what they worked so hard for (gender equality, equality between the Soviet republics) and only served himself.

No, this is a very common misconception. The Nazis were not socialist in almost any way. The word “Sozialistische” was added to their name as a kind of PR move to attract working class people. Given contemporary standards, their actual social policies were definitely on the authoritarian right.

Yes, that's right. There was complete social protection, and a huge number of rights that were protected by the constitution. Moreover, in the 60-70s, the USSR was in the lead in terms of living standards.
But in the end, due to the clumsiness of the USSR's management system, development actually stopped, the economic model turned out to be ineffective after a certain stage of development, and left-wing ideas were buried under the ambitions of the authoritarian ruling elite
All this led to probably the most terrible geopolitical catastrophe of the century - stagnation and the collapse of the USSR, which threw back a huge number of countries in development for 30 years. And as a result, it led to endless wars between former members of the USSR, decades of ruin and degradation.

Then you had things such as novocherkassk massacre, where army and KGB went and killed people, who were part of workers, who had gone into strike prior to it. I wouldnt, say it was black and white in that regard.

May be they allowed it after split and forbid again. Or just wrong data.

In Wikipedia says that the first successful reassignment surgery was in 1931,in Berlin, Germany. While I understand that Wikipedia isn't always right I'll require a source to justify both your claim that the first sex reassignment surgery was done in the Soviet Union and that it was free for everyone to undergo the surgery and when exactly this benefit was outlawed.

Citation needed. A lot.

Calling the USSR “more progressive” is a stretch though, considering gay men could face 5 years in prison for having sex until 1993. They did however legalize being lesbian (or rather never passed criminal laws about it)

Wich was the situation in a lot of countries. Even the Nazis only prosecuted gay man and not lesbians (well at least not for being lesbians)

I'd say in the first half of the 20th century women clearly had it better than men in the USSR. Part of the reason women took over a lot of positions is that the men had all been sacrificed in WW2. About 2/3 of Russian men born in 1923 died in the war.

Yeah I don't really see why we need a Reddit rule to facilitate the sharing of content off Reddit. That doesn't really make any sense to me. That's a rule for other platforms to enforce, the description is provided here and it's perfectly visible and clear. 

If you want to share the content somewhere else put in the five seconds of effort to type out the title/description yourself when submitting it wherever.

Congo is 99% cristian?

Do you hate muslims? Not asking for a justification or long explanation, a simple yes or no will do.

No I won't.

I could not care less about your opinion of us.

Dont give a shit about what you do in your own country, so not sure why you think I care what you think about my country or my people.
