Pew Research releases new study on the attitudes towards appropriate female public wear in different - Polidicks

[QUOTE=kurva;43505255]Turkey - %52? Did these Pew fools make their polls in the most shitfuckistan part of Turkey or what?[/QUOTE] Statistics uses weighting and extrapolation to allow you to make roughly approximate estimations of the entire population's sentiment about a topic without having to actually poll the entire country. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is still quotable over a century later for a reason.

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;43505309]Statistics uses weighting and extrapolation to allow you to make roughly approximate estimations of the entire population's sentiment about a topic without having to actually poll the entire country.[/QUOTE] So you believe that most people from a hick village in Alabama would have the same opinions/beliefs/views with most people in Portland, Oregon? People in Turkey have different views and beliefs depending on the region they live in. Turks in the west coast are extremely secular and even irreligious, while the ones in inner anatolia are conservative and really religious, while the ones in the southeast are leftist kurd-nationalists and so on. The poll was obviously made in a single location, I haven't met a Turk in my life who opposes womens' rights in picking whatever they want to wear.

It helps to read the whole post. Statistics are very sensitive to being improperly conducted.

[url=http://mevs.org/files/tmp/Tunisia_FinalReport.pdf]The survey[/url] actually wasn't conducted by Pew, it was conducted by the University of Michigan. I can't find info about regions within countries but there's this from page 15: [img]http://puu.sh/6hYf3.png[/img] And this from page 3: [quote]Cross-nationally, Tunisians, along with Lebanese and Turkish respondents (and [B]by Turkish we mean the citizens of Turkey, which includes ethnic Turks, Kurds, and other ethnic groups[/B]) are much less conservative (or are more liberal) than the Egyptian, Iraqi, Pakistani, and Saudi publics.[/quote]

I've seen a couple of women wear Burqas in Melbourne during [B]summer[/B]. The heat must be unfuckingbearable in those things. Also hijabs look really cute and pretty

number 1 looks like a ghost how spooky [i]is[/i] saudi arabia?

You are reminded that Lebanon and Egypt's numbers are influenced by sizable Christian minorities.

[QUOTE=kurva;43505255]Turkey - %52? Did these Pew fools make their polls in the most shitfuckistan part of Turkey or what?[/QUOTE] Turkey has become much more extremist in the past decade or so and is on the path to becoming a full on Islamic government. The simple fact that the "western" Turks have a negative growth rate and the Islamic Turks have a very positive growth rate make it essentially inevitable.

I do wonder how long this stage of 'covering women up' will last. I mean, it happened in Christianity, and with the exception of the Amish communities it took about a couple of hundred years to go away. But before about the 1910s, the idea of 'equal rights' was practically unheard of, so maybe it won't take so long for it to go away. I highly doubt it's permanent.

I'm surprised my country doesn't have the worst statistics. I guess there's a little hope after all.
