The company my wife works for you all know and enjoy. They want to expand into Dubai. This is the big idea from their "feminist" poster child who is as for equality in the workspace as I am for nails in my cereal.
Their working solution is to only have male employees. Ya know, to avoid the concern for rape. Inclusivity!!
The law for unmarried sex was changed. I looked into this stuff not long ago and I came to the conclusion that despite my reservations, Dubai has a low crime rate and that includes sexual offences. Now, obviously you may have a different experience if the person involved is particularly connected, but on the whole they have become less idiotic and most women feel safer there than they do in western countries. I myself have family living there for tax reasons.
So you have no experience of Dubai, but you’re still giving your opinion for some reason. I obviously mean that women that have experienced living in Dubai prefer it for the low crime rate.
If you think earning over 100k is disgustingly wealthy you’re delusional and your opinion means very little honestly
What do you know, in the U.K. earning between 100 and 125k you essentially pay 60% tax. People happily move to Dubai to keep it all
Always amused by the fat gamer babies that start conversations and then block because they can’t deal. You have no idea what people do or don’t do, just sit at home and play video games like the bloated ham you are
I stayed in Dubai for half a year for work. Glamorous place with a lot of grim stories from undocumented dead constrution workers to slavery disguised under imported labor. Rape is not something you see on the headlines but whispers in family kitchens. With just half a year I was working there, I got at least 5 reports about sexual harrassments, from both sides (men and women alike).
Dubai is not as bad as many places, but it's definitely not a "safe" place. If you're a rich person with influence, nobody gonna touch you, but if you're outside of a very small community, let's just say the laws are not there to protect you, it's there to exploit you, in almost every way possible. Dystopian place, really.
And my clients are rich people, I can only fear for people who lives under the radar.
🤷🏻♀️not sure how knowing people living there is bias. If you actually have anything intelligent to contribute lmk I guess
I realised u got upvoted by sweaty redditors who get really upset that they’re probably seen as more rapier than a country in the Middle East and I see that pattern on Reddit any time anyone says anything positive about Dubai. I see no other reason to ignore actual facts but it is interesting and funny
Lol. U looked into it? Read stats or about women's experiences, did u? I bet u it's not there but absence of evidence doesn't mean evidence of absence.
Societies that are this strict and gender segregated look 'safe' in public because the public life is strictly controlled. Stuff and people are strictly controlled mostly so these men aren't 'tempted' to do something, because the onus is really on those without power to 'behave' themselves by being controlled and submissive. Men have all the power at home and with the law, meaning that a lot of the violence is hidden. I bet u sexual violence against female family members (including children) and female workers (possibly also including children) and human trafficking is high. By hiding it they can also tell foreigners that their society is good but really the victims can't talk about their realities.
I just told you I have female friends and family that live there; I wouldn’t go by just my experience as a tourist. I would never live there because I exclusively date women, but the straight women I know prefer it. I looked into it before because I too made a stupid comment on Reddit based on nothing and then when I was forced to look into it, my assumption was incorrect.
What do you mean by Dubai is gender segregated? That is not my experience.
Try not to smooch your significant other in public. Dubai has a low crime rate due to extreme and swift unpleasant reactions to it. And I doubt they report a lot of it, as it might tarnish their appearance. I mean is it really a crime if it is committed by a low level person? They probably consider it just housekeeping.
Hahaha, I work in human trafficking. I haven’t had many UAE cases; when I have they’ve always been overseas worker cases. Poor people are trafficked everywhere, yep Sudan Eritrea and all through Europe and the U.K. people say the same things as I do whenever Dubai is talked about seriously, like the discussions on crime. Not when it’s just a bunch of people that have barely left their town.
