Quoting femme_fatal:

what about alameda?
does alameda agree with the article or shes rather on the side of nationalists or maybe she had no opinion at all?



I am sure she will be along soon to let you know. Prepare yourself, Femme.

Well first of all I think the author has a vibrant vocabulary. Describing a city like foreplay. Anyhow, it would make it interesting to continue reading if only it wasn't that this trick of luring has been seen before.

As a general concept I think the “girl to marry” versus “girl to have sex with" thought is true but he is taking it way to far in his interpretation, except when he talks about sex in the media where I think he is right on the spot. The passage about homosexuality is a real mystery to me but I'm just gonna go with big imagination. He touches some important aspects but his conclusions are way overboard. He probably also thinks that Oedipus wanted to get laid with his mother

Now everyone go watch Avrupa Yakası That show touches many of the aspects dealt with in this article. And it's fun, too!

Does anyone else have a take on this? Femme is right we kind of owe it to zbrct after 13 pages of nonsense lol

In response to the article i thought it was insightful and interesting all be it a little quick to tar everyone with the same brush at times however i can see how it is easy to fall into the trap generalisations because it is difficult to talk of people i.e. more than a single persons situation without doing so.

I was not aware of some of the points raised in the paragraph relating to homosexuality,its news to me! However as azade said some of the points about women being seen in such dichotomies as either whore or mother/marriage material is true.Especially if you listen to some Turks talking about women they know nothing or very little of and yet love to label her a whore or prostitute when she may be nothing of the sort. There is also the issue of the media and the fact that whenever you watch Turkish television it always stirkes me that there is this conflicting problem of the famous women or models,singers etc are seen as beautiful and praised for their work and often seen as sexual objects and by that i mean something to say ''whoah look at her'' etc but when it comes to a woman in the 'real world' that is wearing something similar then she is called a tart.This always confuses me but i suppose this is adressed in the article when the writer talks about a certain level of hypocrisy being displayed.

sadly people like you tend to think that if one person out of 100 is different to the rest we have no right to generalise.

so we end up having no possiblity to give a general opinion.

the rest of your post is something neutral.

Good to know that i fall into the catagory 'people like you' great of you to be so specific!
I never said that you didnt have a right to generalise in fact i never said that you didnt have a right to do anything as you are clearly displaying the fact that you do have a 'right' by posting your opinion here.

It is possible for one to give a general opinion of course because it would be very difficult to talk about the vast majority of things we do dicuss in the forum if we could not generalise i was simply saying that it is important to remember that not one rule apply's to all and there will be exceptions.One is getting into dangerous territory when all you talk in is generalisations.

fem get to the point instead of throwing trash at others yet again! What is YOUR take on the article? Sera raised a very good point in #137, why don't you take a stand on that instead of playing your old tricks?
I said what I think of it because you requested it, tabii ki what I said was shallow because I didn't care much for it. It didn't stand out. Heard it many times before.
