How can sexual equality be promoted among immigrants to America, and members of ethnic minorities?

☆Purple Girl♀: How can sexual equality be promoted among immigrants to America, and members of ethnic minorities?
In my area, a number of women are complaining of Hispanic males who will not leave them alone and will not take no for an answer. Such women feel intimidated when they check their mail, take out their garbage, or walk/ride to the store. The constant hit-on attempts and requests for sex leave these women feeling degraded and isolated.

I’ve witnessed women in interracial relationships get told by their men where they can go, when they can go outside, when they can speak, where they can work, etc. Often such women mistreat everyone they meet so their men won’t be jealous.

Reading the newspapers, you will notice a rise in minority men arrested for crimes against women. Listen to rap music, and women are portrayed as sexually loose and rarely as equals. You will also hear homophobic and transphobic things as well.

So, how can we promote and encourage sexual equality among ethnic minorities, race minorities, and immigrants?
Josh, please do not project your masculine level of sexual desire onto the rest of us. Now, I wasn’t talking about sexual intercourse, but being treated the same regardless of what you have below.

Sexual equality refers to equality between the sexes. It refers to both sexes each having the right to be independent and be the masters of their own identities. It means being able to work at the *SAME* jobs for the *SAME* pay, and for both to be able to do so without sexual harassment. It means both being seen as equally intelligent and equally capable. It means both being able to walk down the street without being stalked. If a woman is walking down a street merely getting from point A to point B and any man stops to try to talk to her or ask her sexual questions, *THAT* is sexual harassment.
Josh – Thank you for clearing that up.

Yes. Differences exist among cultures, but I also think these differences also have to do with social class. Not all Hispanics are the same way, maybe the ones that are in your area, but while cultural differences exist, this in no way is representative of all Hispanic men.

I have dated only Blacks the past 10 years, but nobody ever told me where to go or what to do. Ignorants and control freaks exist in every culture.

Unfortunately, sexism or racism is not something we can change overnight. All we can do is to educate those we can reach out to and hope that different cultures and social classes coming together will allow change, progress and improvement.

I agree with you I’m Hispanic, and when Mexicans move to my neighborhood every time I walk they looked at me as if they wanted to eat me a live, something that made me feel better uncomfortable, but you can’t stereotype. Because much of this people are people that had little education, and unfortunately still think that they are superior to women, and not all Hispanic man are like that.

Well the first step is to get equality in America and Canada, right now women dominate (and yet feminists still think us women foke are still the underdogs. Stupidity really) and then I don’t know.

Answer by Josh
The best way to promote sexual equality is to serve as an example. The reason we have illegal immigrants is because nations want to be isolated from other nations, hence the term ‘nation’. They expect everyone else to perform on their own and to compete with them, which only brings about pride and war. All defensive walls get torn down.

What needs to be done is educate everyone on love and respect. Love is knowing, and knowing is acceptance and realizing that everyone and everything changes and has a right to exist. The pressure that forced early humans to evolve into us made us become that pressure. So obviously we have to give it back. Separation is not the answer.

EDIT:

Sorry Girl, I have no idea where I got sexual orientation from. I honestly thought I read it in your post. (dementia is a bitch). I edited that stuff out.
