44. There is different, and then there's WRONG. Sure, some things are just di
different from one culture to the next, and one is not any better than the other on some objective level, for example, maybe clothing, hairstyles, what side of the road people drive on, etc. But there are also things which are just plain wrong, regardless of whether they are part of a culture or not. Of course the matter of the definition of right and wrong is itself a subject of much debate, but as liberals/progressives i think most of us believe that those things which cause obvious, direct harm or degradation to others without just cause are wrong. Being forced to eat the left-overs of another class of person is certainly degrading in my book, but hey, maybe women over there are perfectly okay with it. I doubt it, though.
