Here's the thing, Bob. You are the product of your upbringing, your
parent's culture, your environment, all of which go into creating your
present beliefs. I appreciate that your English has increased to the
place where you can express these beliefs of yours. I hope that you
do not feel offended when I tell you that they are not mine. I was
raised in a very different culture, even different than today's
America. 82 years ago we did hold very different thinking on such
subjects as women's rights, gay and lesbian relations, interracial
relationships, and so forth. In fact it is almost a different world
in which I find myself.
I was raised to believe that young men were expected to force their
affections upon young women. The men in my life, the fathers and
older brothers of my school friends, were outraged over the idea of
two men having a sexual relationship. Lesbians were harassed and
roughed up. Men would say, "All they need is a good screwing to make
them normal women". I was born only 70 years after the American Civil
War. Black citizens were still called Niggers and worse. They were
treated as inferior creatures, unable to think on their own. When I
was six years old our president had all Japanese Americans on the West
Coast incarcerated. As a White Superior Race, our ruling class looked
down on all persons of color.
Today we are in transition. What we do not need is to return to some
rigid rules handed down by our government. That is Donald Trump's
intention when he tells us he will return America to our former
greatness. If you feel most comfortable being told what is right and
what is forbidden, good for you. But your ways are not mine, nor will
they ever be. So you and I and others, need to learn to respect our
differences and live as equals despite them.

Sexual harassment is the act of subjecting someone to unwanted or improper
sexual advances, typically, women or children. Alternatively, it is the
persistence of enacting unconventional sexual behaviour, often but not
necessarily, by a supervisor toward an employee. Recently, allegations of
sexual misconduct heightened significantly. Thence, we are ethically obliged
to enforce social regulations between the two genders to prevent potential
inappropriate engagement. At its inception, both men and women are enjoined
to hold fast to boundaries of estimable appearance. Neither gender
shouldn't attempt to be beguiling to his counterpart. In other words, both
ought to base their communication on reciprocal precepts of merits. Men
shouldn't court women unsuitably nor women shouldn't use their sex appeal to
exploit men unsoundly. In any manner, communication between men and women
should be based on mutual deference. It couldn't be unilateral, both must
equally share their accountability. Some may consider these moral tips a bit
strict or perhaps, socially conservative. Islam seeks to firmly establish a
cleansed society. In order to prosper in attaining this aim, both genders
must thoroughly stick to their role. Men shouldn't stare at women
inappropriately nor women shouldn't purposely entice them with wearing
provocative outfits or behaving seductively. Monica Lewinsky enamoured
former president Bill Clinton. She tactically exerted her sultry
characteristics to utterly captivate his full attention. Certainly, this is
a demonic act. Allah blessed us with these beautiful desires to sufficiently
delight and satisfy our licit partners. Spouses are enjoined to gratify one
another with mental, emotional and intimate involvements. I strongly fond
licit intimacies between married couples. At the end of the day, we are
humans and we are naturally made to intemperately be influenced with these
aspects. The point just is, when, where, with whom and how. Life is much
better and brighter with adhering proper demeanours. I urge irreligious
individuals to refrain from commenting obscenely. I tend not to speak
obsequiously toward foreigners. Despite the detrimental rhetoric many people
portray my heritage with, I won't change my tune. I am enormously felicitous
with my way of life. Most of you misapprehend it, but I do not give credit
to unjustified prejudice and nescience. Vicious aspersion of my Islamic
tradition is inconsiderate and perfectly superfluous to me.
Thank you, Bob
