Apparently Christian Countries Are Marginally More Progressive Than Sharia Law Countries

Laws made by men for the good of men always oppress women

 

" I apologize for the confusion earlier. You’re correct. I found in my previous conversations that during the early 1900s, laws in Canada were quite restrictive towards women, especially those deemed “incorrigible”. One such law was the Female Refuges Act passed by the Ontario Legislature. This Act granted judges the power to order the incarceration of women in Ontario for various reasons such as public intoxication, and morals crimes. It also granted judges the power to order the placement of girls who were deemed uncontrollable or ‘incorrigible’ into reform facilities. Thank you for your patience and I appreciate your understanding. Is there anything else you would like to know?

 Yes, there were similar laws in both the British Empire and America during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Here are some key points:

British Empire:

• In the late 19th century, women in Britain had limited legal rights¹. For example, it was only in 1891 that women were told that they could not be forced to live with a man if they did not want to¹.
• Organized campaigns for women’s suffrage began to appear in 1866 and from 1888 women could vote in many local council elections¹.
• The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act in 1919 was revolutionary and transformational. The Act meant it was no longer only men who could become lawyers, barristers, and magistrates².

America:

• In the United States, women had limited legal rights during the 19th century³⁴. They were generally denied the right to vote, hold public office, or serve on juries³⁴.
• Women also had limited control over their property and earnings, as they were usually under the legal authority of their husbands or fathers³⁴.
• Primarily through the efforts of physicians in the American Medical Association and legislators, most abortions in the U.S. were outlawed⁵.

These laws and societal norms reflected the patriarchal societies of the time. It’s important to note that these laws and attitudes have changed significantly since then, with many countries now recognizing and enforcing gender equality. However, the struggle for women’s rights continues in many parts of the world. Is there anything else you would like to know?" (Copilot)

Many tech users are used to having machines talk to them. Where I live talking machinery is still a dream. But Microsoft has given me Copilot. Copilot is basically a world class librarian. At least once I figured out how to get past the built-in bias that's what she became.

 I say she because when I go audio, she replies in a way that strongly suggests she is modelled after a young woman from India. At least that's where I place the accent. I find it truly disturbing that in 2024 humanities wannabe www Librarian is a young woman from India!

I mean no offense to the women of India, but I do mean to offend those who perpetuate this racist meme.

It is time to live equality and share in the pleasures of a truly diverse world. Please and thank-you.
