Sexist moari exhibition at NZ national museum

[immortality]

This is the kind of crap that we have to put up with here in NZ. there is a exhibition showing at the NZ national museum where pregnant or menstruating woman have been advised not to attend for cultural reasons. what a crock of shit

Well if its a legitimate cultural reason, and they're only asking not demanding it, whats the big deal?

People can choose wether or not they're going to respect another cultures beliefs.
Its silly to us, but probably sacred to another. Plus, how are they going to know if someones got their rags?

[minux]

lol, quick question, how are they confirming women that do attend are not menstruating? lol.

I've seen Maori women - BAGS NOT CHECKING!!!

[soop]

Sniffer dogs?

They are down playing it now, but i could see moari men standing at the door stopping all woman and enquiring which would be a huge invasion of privacy and they actually believe that they have the right.

This is been funded by tax payer dollars, so my dollars so i think i have every right to object to this blatant sexism.

[soop]

Mmm, there's similar issues with Aboriginal cultures in australia.
I.e women not playing Digeridoo's.

Only people that seem to have an issue with it is white women. In which case you need to shorten the chain!

Come to australia if you think maori's have issues.....

The problem is that maori have placed themselves up on high pedestal and expect all other cultures/beliefs to bow to them, unfortunately maori themselves are completely intolerant of other peoples cultures/beliefs.

Effectively this country is been held to ransom by moari.

A moari activist discharged a double barrel 12g shot gun into the NZ flag a few years ago in a public place where there were thousands of people gathered (in protest), he was arrested and charged with multiple firearms charges that were eventually all dismissed. If i had done the same thing it would have guaranteed me a stretch behind bars.

Welcome to every othe rminority culture we have here. Australia is a country of ducking and weaving due to all this PC cultural bullshit. Deadset you don't know if your meant to be eating bacon or wearing a burqa over here. It seems everything nowadays is racist and illegal lol.

Ohh, we have them all here too but the moari's just trump them all. As i am Dutch by birth i've followed the happenings in my home country and i am appalled at what is happening there too. I have experienced the so called youth gangs as a child there and the effect that they have had on the nation as a whole.

They were the first country in the world to ban the burqa in some public places after the assassination of a politician.

What i see happening here in NZ is what happened in south africa with appartheid. A lot of poeple laugh when i say that, but slowly and surely it is happening. It is very clear already that there are 2 sets of laws in this country, one for the moari and another for the rest of the population.

Immortality, I just realized you live in Auckland!! I was there two weeks ago for a football (soccer) championship. Is this giant museum ontop of a hill overlooking the bay? Cost me a "donation" to visit bastards.

As a pregnant and sometimes menstruating woman I have no problem with that, seriously who the hell would pay money to see that shit anyway, only people who actually care about its 'cultural signifcance' and wouldn't go because of those cultural reasons anyway. Typical female would be completly uninterested, we're not missing out on anything Stupid feminists, god I can't stand them all the do is whinge and talk shit thinking they are speaking on behalf of all women when most women think they are just stupid irrelevent fat hairy legged dikes. You should see the crap we have to put up with here land disputes with aborigines claiming land as their own because it is culturally important because they use to have 'secret women's business' there but they can't elaborate because its secret. The whole world have gone pc crazy.

I Think the exhibits are free. I would never pay to see it, however tourists who are non the wiser seem to lap it up for some unknown reason

The Media have got hold off this now and are running rampant with it. quiet funny really.

maori claim anything of value or significance here in NZ and we have paid them billions in compensation over the years. As a good example, maori own part of the airwaves here in NZ, the Government gave it to them as compensation because they have some historical right to it now go and figure that one out. and most of them are still dope smoking drunks on the dole(they consider it to be a right and a lifestyle)

15% of the population holding the other hard working 85% to ransom

im sick of this colour problem. see what happens when you let paint run. i couldnt give a shit if your pink purple or yellow or black, every one should be treated the same. admit error, and move on. recognise native people, but dont bend over backwards for them.
