<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 166784, member: 210&quot;]i got into an argument with one of my college professors once.&nbsp; She kept saying that cultural differences are just cultural differences.&nbsp; I argued that cultural differences, especially ones that harmed women and children, were human rights violations.&nbsp; The list included foot binding, the Indian practice of immolation of widows, slavery, scarring the skin, and many others.&nbsp; She cited, in class, how a man of another culture who killed his wife here in America because he THOUGHT she was unfaithful was acquitted because in their culture, this practice was acceptable.&nbsp; NO.&nbsp; He wouldn&#039;t have been if I were on that jury.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, our culture is full of them.&nbsp; No one dictates that women wear high heels, but they do to have their calf muscles look more attractive.&nbsp; Same thing for so much cosmetic surgery.&nbsp; I turn the TV on and can guess anyone&#039;s true age by looking at their hands and neck, but their face looks unnaturally stretched and wax-like.&nbsp; I especially hate the fake-looking &quot;bee-stung&quot; lips.&nbsp; When I channel surf and see any of the Housewives of Beverly Hills, they all look like the same wax cast.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
