Wouldn’t it be nice if no one had to be told any of this?
Migrant advice booklet explains what rape is
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone on the planet already knew that you can’t just help yourself to someone else’s body?
Asylum seekers arriving in Britain are being handed official booklets explaining what rape is and that men and women in Britain are “equal”.
The nine-page document, published by the Home Office, tells migrants they must understand that “laws and customs here may be different from your home country”.
On one page headed “Gender Equality”, arrivals are told that women can work, study, and travel freely without needing permission from a man in the UK.
“In the UK, men and women have equal rights. This is an important part of UK culture and is protected by law,” says the booklet, which was produced for newly arrived asylum seekers.
In a section on sex and consent, they are told that if they have sex with someone without their consent, “this is called rape”.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all that were not our bizarre local custom but just obvious basic not being a shit? Wouldn’t it be nice if women were considered people everywhere on the planet?
