Not unlike our gastrointestinal micro biome (strange analogy, I know, bear with me) can’t be changed too rapidly without negative symptoms, so too human cultures that are too unlike one another cannot be rapidly mixed without huge problems arising.

It has always been expected that a guest in a culture accept the culture and behave accordingly. Now foreign cultures, at least to the woke and the PC are beyond reproach, no matter what they are.
Men from cultures where women have little value are, apparently, kept from raping them through the covering of women from head to toe, and the barring of women from most parts of society. Maybe the men’s misogyny is rooted in the shame of being born to such a lowly creature?
The other reason for these acts of hatred are likely rooted in the fact that when people from misogynist countries emigrate it is usually young men who have the opportunity to do so. They subsequently find themselves in a country where the native women lack interest in them due to their misogyny, and there are no women from their own culture to be found. This, predictably, breeds frustration and a sense of alienation. And why anyone could’ve thought it was a good experiment to conduct is beyond me. Are politicians following their WEF overlords, or attempting to save their economy through importing cheap labor?
Great article, Ben! Thank you for bringing up this awful but important issue!
That is an interesting and strange analogy. I have previously heard Thailand of having a "cultural immune system" to outside influences, meaning they cannot easily be changed. Seems like a similar kind of analogy.
Interesting! This would definitely be a good time for stable cultures to have strong immune systems.
