@@rachel5478 Hmm. You're so shallow that you've somehow deluded yourself into thinking you're doing something good. Let's get to the root, love. This is Ugandan culture- There are an estimated 5 million child brides in Uganda. 1.3 million of them are under 15 years of age. They're not married to teenage boys I'll tell you that. 1 in 4 women report that their first sexual encounter was rape. Uganda has a population of 49 million. Yet there are only 1519 cases of rape that are filed, And of these rape cases only 19 received rape sentencing, the rest got off; according to the data of a year. So Uganda has a serious women's rights and gender inequality issue. This is rooted in Ugandan culture. Such as this dressing modest thing. According to many research studies, dressing modestly doesn't prevent sexual crimes at all. Infact most sexual crimes are commited by men the women already knew. Short clothes, or lust, sexual attractiveness have little role to play in these crimes. If modest clothing helped preven sexual crimes, women in Islamic countries would be safe. So where does this dressing modest thing come from? It's a way to blame women and take accountability away from men in sexual crimes. Stop trying to protect cultures, guidelines, etc. that are blatantly harmful. And don't call them "ethics" for fucks sake. You're insulting the word. Culture is frequently bad and harmful, it must be stopped.
My mom always said to me “when we visit someone else’s home, they are different, they have their own rules that maybe aren’t like ours so we listen and respect them”.

She's right though. I have taken students to México and told them you cannot go into the church with a strapless or spaghetti strap top on, so bring a sweater that you can put on for the church and remove when you leave. They don't listen, and they don't get in. Girls have to tag team each other, loaning the sweater back and forth
Yes I totally agree ! I wish Europeans will respect this and take it as a good manner and well dressing code as well ! Nobody should show their naked bodies or show too much from it , In almost each religion they teach you to cover yourself so you will be protected and you don’t attract the eyes of people ! ❤

So well done to Uganda to stop this nonsense before they end up like America!!
Yes. Well said. I travelled to the north of Africa and respected their clothing preferences. Please also respect ours when people from Africa come to Australia. Please do not presume we do not respect ourselves due to wearing less clothing than yourselves and do not say inappropriate things to the women here. I’ve experienced this from a guy I passed on the street who had just arrived from Africa. Everyone respect everyone else and we will all get along 😁
The only problem here being women covering up has always been the norm till 1800s. A modest woman was considered a classy woman. And, I have to admit, it feels like an intrinsic truth regardless of how much the West pushes thier fake "freedom of choice" agenda
The systemic issues/cultures caused by patriarchy in countries other than your own are not for you to change. Sure advocate for the women and LGBT+ folk and anyone who needs help. But don’t take the microphone to speak in someone’s place that grew up in that culture.

In Europe people are encouraged to be themselves. They are not encouraged to integrate. The government puts all the ethnic minorities in one place rather than ensuring they are well integrated in to the European way of life. That is the mistake of liberalism. It bad for society. There should be proper integrated
Quite honestly I wish westerners would stop expecting other countries to be like them. If you’re going to a country that societal expectations are clear then follow them! You’re visiting their country and home. Respect their rules!
but we shouldn't have to abandon our culture to visit another one. just like people who come to our countries aren't forbidden (for the most part) to wear the clothes that are acceptable in their cultures even when they're different from ours, why should we be expected to leave our culture behind to appease others? I don't expect people to understand or not to stare, but I still wish to dress the way I would at home. because that's me, that's how I express myself and feel most comfortable.
I came to Uganda in 2018 for a month. It was one of the best months of my life, I spent time in the rural area Iganga and also in Jinja. I had some amazing experiences, the people were so lovely and welcoming and I would definitely go back.
Thank you so much for sharing. I was very curious about what the word “muzungu” and what it may actually mean. My Google search indicates it means, “wanderer”…which I’m guessing is another way to say “traveler.” Saying that to someone from somewhere else makes sense. Where I live in the United States, I’ve heard/said, “Hi, stranger…” when speaking to someone who looks/sounds like they may be from somewhere else (and might look like the need/want help). When I myself say that phrase, it’s just my kind version of a name placeholder…I might just as easily say, “Hi, sir/ma’am. How can I help you?” I only use “stranger” or something similar until I learn the person’s name. Then I use their name, or “friend” when speaking with them. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I just started following you on RUclips so that hopefully I can learn more from you. I love how straightforwardly you explain. Someday I would like to visit your country.
MZUNGU is a Kenyan & Tanzanian SWAHILI name that means white person. It’s not a slur if anyone wondered. Girl your skin is like glowing chocolate 😍 beautiful
In isiXhosa we say umlungu for a white person, and mlungu in isiZulu, and mutshena in tshiVenda. Agreed not a slur, same level as saying "you are a white person"
Actually that's not correct. According to Wikipedia, Mzungu is the southern, central and eastern African term for a person of foreign descent. Literally translated it means “someone who roams around aimlessly” or “aimless wanderer” (from the Swahili and Ganda words). So it was referring to new pple into area that moved from place to place. Not pink pple!

Don't let the reserved and calm nature of this "nice" lady(if she actively ignore genocide in her home, is she really a nice person?) fool you, Uganda has become one of the most opressive nations with that single law(it was already quite oppressive, but now that non-comfority is deadly, its a whole other level). I'll respect aspects of their culture and learn about it from an anthropological perspective, but I will never be able to genuinely respect the culture as a whole, nor will I ever respect the nation of Uganda, wo long as it stays an archaic nations, unwilling to change and bring their cultural differences into the modern era. This lady's entire channel is about whitewashing the damage that European imperialism did to the many African nations. "Oh look at the way we do things, its just different from you and how we've always done things" yeah, because your nation's development was set back a century and stunted for another century. You're not lesser for it, but you are undeniable behind, your nation literally an underdeveloped nation. Anyways, Uganda is trash and this lady is blind to its flaws and is whitewashing the effects that imperialism had on her country, as well as the active crimes against humanity, that her country is committing.

However, I can do something about the places I visit while I'm here to try to make it as comfortable as possible for me, and purposefully keeping myself from situations I know will make me uncomfortable while allowing others to do whatever they want in their culture is the way I plan on doing it.👍🏿 I know my initial comment may have seemed sarcastic, but I am genuinely grateful whenever people are just brutally honest about the places that they live or the places that they have visited. That doesn't even mean that those places are necessarily all the way bad, they're just not places for me. Others are allowed to do whatever they want to, and I am allowed to not participate!
This is a seriously important advice some tourists tend to forget. Do some research beforehand and be respectful to the culture of the country or place you are visiting. You are a guest so behave graciously as you would expect guests to behave in your home.
Respectful or aware? We have cat callers and rules above the knee in the US too. And we don’t follow precautions out of respect, we are careful around them because we know they are less than respectful of other people and dangerous. They don’t deserve respect, the deserve watchfulness and fear
Resepct and obedience are two different things. In society where you must obey something that strips human rights, yes even the small ones, away out of "respect" is not a culture. It's a system of control and oppression and often violence against women n children. E.g. unconsenting or socially coerced gen. mutilation.
I don't think a lot of American people really get this. Other countries are vastly different than we are. Most of those countries American claim they wish to visit, probably would not take kindly to a lot of what we do. Honestly, Americans often come across to me as overly sexual college kids who grew up with too much money. And that's coming from an American. I know this original comment wasn't an attack on Americans, but I just can't help the way we come across a lot of the time.

@@LisaAngel-vk9dz the word comes from the swahili which means foreigner not white person. It has come to colloquially refer to white person as they are regarded as foreigners. Edit: I initially apologized but after my experiences and doing further research, i take it back. The literal definition is not white person and was in fact used to describe “restless” visitors. And as I stated has come to mean white peson. From Mahmood Mamdani, the Ugandan scholar of Indian descent who was the Director of Makerere University, and is a Professor at Columbia University in his article, ‘When Does a Settler Become a Native? Reflections of the Colonial Roots of Citizenship in Equatorial and South Africa’: “The word for the white settler in Kiswahili is mzungu. Mzungu, however, does not literally mean a white person. It simply means a restless person, a person who will not stay in one place, a person full of anxieties. It comes from the verb kuzunguka. Hawa wana zunguka kwa nini? Why are these people always so restless?” As shown above, the etymology doesn’t mean white, but by the 90s (when this article was written) meant white settler, and then according to posters below, changed again to just mean white people. In mine and others experiences on here it was used on non-white people. Despite initially independently apologizing to posters and trying to have civil discussions/ ask genuine questions from those below in the conversations, I instead have been accused of arguing, and called annoying, a know-it-all, and a liar among other things. When you result in name-calling I think that speaks volumes. Also, as a side note, when you decide to speak among yourselves about a third party it also shows your true character. You can just respond to me and my questions/comments directly including the name calling. Very mature. Seems not to be a platform where you can actually have a civil, productive conversation, especially when others’ experiences may differ. Wish everyone the best. ✌️
They may also be saying that because you speak English with an accent they consider a bit posh 😅 I've gotten a similar nickname when I travelled in my own country 😂

I'm sure it's an amazing country besides that, but I wouldn't want to go somewhere where I'm 1000% sure I'll be blamed for anything a man decides to do to me because I was wearing a miniskirt or a crop top. Even her tone while saying that kind of hurt me, she sounded very condescending and it makes me sad that she's just accepted that it's her fault if someone catcalls her.
"If you come to Iran, behave like Iranian, if you come to Uganda, behave like Uganda people" why just can not everybody behave like Europeans, when they come to EU???
I was in Uganda about thirty years ago. Fantastic place. I loved walking through the market and hear the children whisper muzungu and racing to tell there friends.

😂 Yeah, You get to see that it’s the same worldwide, the same way black people are gawked at in places like rural Finland or rural Austria or rural Poland where most people have never seen a black person in their whole lives, it’s the same thing for black people in many African countries who have never seen a white person before. They’ll stare and make comments. Sometimes it’s not racism, it’s ignorance + shock at the unfamiliar lol.

@@lockedin6699What a disgusting analogy. Tell me, who goes to jail when an unlocked house is robbed? Who is the ONLY person who invaded the property of someone else and stole their belongings? Do you barge into people's homes if the door is unlocked, then argue with them that they were inviting you inside? And if you did, who would win the argument? Also, I am not a house. I am a PERSON. I live, I breathe, I think, I can say yes and no and I mean both of those words when I say them. You're an adult who thinks I am less than him because I wore a crop top and short shorts. Imagine telling your daughter that, or your sister, or your wife, or your friend. Imagine any of them comes up to you and says "I've been raped", and all you say back is "It's your fault too." And if this makes you feel anything different, think about why the only way you can feel empathy for someone is if their situation personally affects you. Disgusting.
@@lockedin6699Even when the homeowner had double security, should they still get blamed when they are robbed? If someone is robbed, the victim is never jailed are they...if they didn't secure properly. They might have a responsibility to be smart but they aren't committing the crime...
@@lockedin6699 wow this saddens me. If you ever had a daughter violated you may change your mind. For religious ppl, even Jesus said to "pluck out your own eyes". Self control means controlling oneSELF. This is a spiritual path for many, but especially men, n men choose not to take it, sadly, to women n children's detriment. Do you know that a women can be covered head to toe in hijab, niqab etc, n men have been found to oogle n lust after their ankles?!? "Their ankles are showing! This gives is an excuse!" This not about modesty, but the fact that some ppl feel they own other ppl. It is about lack of boundaries on the male's part. Humanity will be liberated the day they no longer choose blame, shame and critiscism-based psychologies that excuse this kind of lust. Love, divine love, is personal responsibility. How would you feel if someone came up and punched you in the face everywhere you go for having developed muscles? Men would not tolerate being r@ped by women, but especially not by other men, or even disrespected for that matter, for going outside their home n for such superfluous things. Women are not existing FOR you. We have a right to BE outside of what that means for men who have been programmed to believe they have inherent rights to a women. Everyone, especially children, BELONG to their SOUL, not to another person. Despite societal programmings. I hope for safety, dignity, n respect for you n your loved ones, NO MATTER what they wear or don't wear.
I am white but I dress modest. I would absolutely love to visit there. But I want to come to your village and visit you. You seem so kind. And I love to learn. You could teach my daughter and I your ways. Cooking etc. I think that would be such a wonderful experience for us both. My daughter and I. She’s really young but I want her to travel the world. To experience other walks of life, so that she can make the most educated decisions going forward in her life. If that makes sense? She may want to leave this country one day to live. I want her to have knowledge and options. I love her so much.

I've always been modest... I didn't even stop wearing opera gloves until about a decade ago...lol I used to REALLY cover up, though ngl, I am, as a woman, getting tired of us being blamed for the behavior of men. If they are adults, they should be able to control themselves and stop blaming us for their weaknesses, because it's also weak to blame another for your actions. We see men walking around with nothing on but shorts, and we can act like we have some sense, like we have some self control. No matter how handsome, gorgeous, attractive a man is, I'm not going to whistle at him, I'm not going to "Hey baby!", I'm not going to make him feel like an object, because I have class and self-control... We seriously need to stop excusing men for behavior they can definitely control. Societies all over the world make too many excuses for the terrible behavior some men do and then blame women for. Now, all that being said, I understand culture, but culture also has room to grow, all humans and cultures are capable.
100% this I would cover up either way and respect the culture in that way but it’s so obvuously about sexual harassment. It shouldn’t just be part of the culture. Like you said we all have room to grow especially culturally and grown men need to apparently be taught how to be grown men universally.
I agree with you so much on this one. Like, of course i am not gonna wear tanktop and shorts if i go there because its their country and i am only a guest but cultures aren't static. My own culture had really bad aspects to it in the past. People here would have been furious if you disrespected those aspects but nowadays, even we think those things were shit and we got rid of them.
It's honestly kinda sad that a lot of men don't know you can just practice resisting the temptation of random attractive women. I've had talks about this and some guys really think it's impossible like: 'if you have a healthy testosterone level you're going to be distracted by every woman you see' and in some cases catcalling is part of that I guess But at the end of the day these guys sabotage their own happiness with their sexual frustration I'm a guy myself btw, I just can't stand these men that have the impulse control of children
It's not just about modesty and you know that. It being socially acceptable to be violent or gross towards someone because of how they dress is not something to be proud of and complacency is an enabler. I'm tired of people pretending like the problems in their country is "just the culture" these type of things are beyond that. Infringing on someone's rights is infringing on someone's rights, period.
Agreed. I think there’s a diff between telling someone “here are some unfortunate reality checks about this culture if you want to be safe in your travels here” and actually trying to justify it as reasonable with some ~do as the Romans do~ hand-waving
It’s important to recognize that everything is not only about you, what you like, or how you wish to behave. The world is not obligated to shift to accommodate you as you are. To believe so is plain and simple, abject narcissism. When we go out into the world and engage with other cultures, it’s wholly unrealistic to expect them to embrace us as we are, especially if it’s counter to their culture. We invite much of the treatment we receive. Whether or not we believe that is justified doesn't change the reality of being a human being in a complex world. If you want to be treated with respect, conduct yourself respectfully ton the context of the time and place. If you are unwilling to do that, stay home, or be prepared to be offended and disappointed.

1 in 4 women report that their first sexual encounter was rape. Uganda has a population of 49 million. Yet there are only 1519 cases of rape that are filed, And of these rape cases only 19 received rape sentencing, the rest got off; according to the data of a year.
So Uganda has a serious women's rights and gender inequality issue.
This is rooted in Ugandan culture.
Such as this dressing modest thing.
According to many research studies, dressing modestly doesn't prevent sexual crimes at all.
Infact most sexual crimes are commited by men the women already knew.
Short clothes, or lust, sexual attractiveness have little role to play in these crimes.
If modest clothing helped preven sexual crimes, women in Islamic countries would be safe.
So where does this dressing modest thing come from? It's a way to blame women and take accountability away from men in sexual crimes.
Stop trying to protect cultures, guidelines, etc. that are blatantly harmful.
And don't call them "ethics" for fucks sake. You're insulting the word.
Culture is frequently bad and harmful, it must be stopped.
My mom always said to me “when we visit someone else’s home, they are different, they have their own rules that maybe aren’t like ours so we listen and respect them”. That has been my no1 principal for my whole life and I love it because I get to know so many different people and cultures and learn from them! Definitely your outfit inspired me for my tomorrow outfit 😊
No, this is only pushed when Westerners go to places. By this logic, hijabs should be banned when people come to USA because it is not the culture there? Not right, it's just policing women. Because men roam half naked in Uganda all the time.
Words to live by.

@Maryam-sh1oh I think it's the heat and the amount of coverage that creates the conflict. I'm glad to hear Americans aren't the only one.
I always check the rules of the country that I go to, and if I'm going to a country where it's going to be extremely hot and I have to be covered down to my wrists and my ankles, I simply don't go. I'm not going to enjoy any trip where I'm uncomfortably hot and sweating 24 hours a day, so I just don't go.

The only problem here being women covering up has always been the norm till 1800s. A modest woman was considered a classy woman. And, I have to admit, it feels like an intrinsic truth regardless of how much the West pushes thier fake "freedom of choice" agenda
So wear modestly to protect yourself from immodesty on the street in a country supreme modesty is expected. Noted!

but we shouldn't have to abandon our culture to visit another one. just like people who come to our countries aren't forbidden (for the most part) to wear the clothes that are acceptable in their cultures even when they're different from ours, why should we be expected to leave our culture behind to appease others? I don't expect people to understand or not to stare, but I still wish to dress the way I would at home. because that's me, that's how I express myself and feel most comfortable.
I came to Uganda in 2018 for a month. It was one of the best months of my life, I spent time in the rural area Iganga and also in Jinja. I had some amazing experiences, the people were so lovely and welcoming and I would definitely go back.
Thank you so much for sharing. I was very curious about what the word “muzungu” and what it may actually mean. My Google search indicates it means, “wanderer”…which I’m guessing is another way to say “traveler.” Saying that to someone from somewhere else makes sense.
Where I live in the United States, I’ve heard/said, “Hi, stranger…” when speaking to someone who looks/sounds like they may be from somewhere else (and might look like the need/want help).
When I myself say that phrase, it’s just my kind version of a name placeholder…I might just as easily say, “Hi, sir/ma’am. How can I help you?” I only use “stranger” or something similar until I learn the person’s name. Then I use their name, or “friend” when speaking with them.
Anyway, thanks for sharing. I just started following you on RUclips so that hopefully I can learn more from you. I love how straightforwardly you explain. Someday I would like to visit your country.
MZUNGU is a Kenyan & Tanzanian SWAHILI name that means white person. It’s not a slur if anyone wondered. Girl your skin is like glowing chocolate 😍 beautiful
In isiXhosa we say umlungu for a white person, and mlungu in isiZulu, and mutshena in tshiVenda. Agreed not a slur, same level as saying "you are a white person"
Zambia 🇿🇲 Muzungu
Actually that's not correct.
According to Wikipedia, Mzungu is the southern, central and eastern African term for a person of foreign descent. Literally translated it means “someone who roams around aimlessly” or “aimless wanderer” (from the Swahili and Ganda words).
So it was referring to new pple into area that moved from place to place. Not pink pple!
We have it in Zambia too
What is the need to say it, though? We don't point out every foreign person we see in public. This feels like "prepare to be judged by every native"

Don't let the reserved and calm nature of this "nice" lady(if she actively ignore genocide in her home, is she really a nice person?) fool you, Uganda has become one of the most opressive nations with that single law(it was already quite oppressive, but now that non-comfority is deadly, its a whole other level).
I'll respect aspects of their culture and learn about it from an anthropological perspective, but I will never be able to genuinely respect the culture as a whole, nor will I ever respect the nation of Uganda, wo long as it stays an archaic nations, unwilling to change and bring their cultural differences into the modern era.
This lady's entire channel is about whitewashing the damage that European imperialism did to the many African nations. "Oh look at the way we do things, its just different from you and how we've always done things" yeah, because your nation's development was set back a century and stunted for another century. You're not lesser for it, but you are undeniable behind, your nation literally an underdeveloped nation.

This is a seriously important advice some tourists tend to forget. Do some research beforehand and be respectful to the culture of the country or place you are visiting. You are a guest so behave graciously as you would expect guests to behave in your home.
Respectful or aware? We have cat callers and rules above the knee in the US too. And we don’t follow precautions out of respect, we are careful around them because we know they are less than respectful of other people and dangerous. They don’t deserve respect, the deserve watchfulness and fear
Resepct and obedience are two different things. In society where you must obey something that strips human rights, yes even the small ones, away out of "respect" is not a culture. It's a system of control and oppression and often violence against women n children. E.g. unconsenting or socially coerced gen. mutilation.

@@LisaAngel-vk9dz the word comes from the swahili which means foreigner not white person. It has come to colloquially refer to white person as they are regarded as foreigners.
Edit: I initially apologized but after my experiences and doing further research, i take it back. The literal definition is not white person and was in fact used to describe “restless” visitors. And as I stated has come to mean white peson.
From Mahmood Mamdani, the Ugandan scholar of Indian descent who was the Director of Makerere University, and is a Professor at Columbia University in his article, ‘When Does a Settler Become a Native? Reflections of the Colonial Roots of Citizenship in Equatorial and South Africa’: “The word for the white settler in Kiswahili is mzungu. Mzungu, however, does not literally mean a white person. It simply means a restless person, a person who will not stay in one place, a person full of anxieties. It comes from the verb kuzunguka. Hawa wana zunguka kwa nini? Why are these people always so restless?”
As shown above, the etymology doesn’t mean white, but by the 90s (when this article was written) meant white settler, and then according to posters below, changed again to just mean white people. In mine and others experiences on here it was used on non-white people.
Despite initially independently apologizing to posters and trying to have civil discussions/ ask genuine questions from those below in the conversations, I instead have been accused of arguing, and called annoying, a know-it-all, and a liar among other things. When you result in name-calling I think that speaks volumes.
Also, as a side note, when you decide to speak among yourselves about a third party it also shows your true character. You can just respond to me and my questions/comments directly including the name calling. Very mature. Seems not to be a platform where you can actually have a civil, productive conversation, especially when others’ experiences may differ. Wish everyone the best. ✌️

The responsibility falls on both. Should we not blame a homeowner for not locking his home when they get robbed?
@@lockedin6699What a disgusting analogy. Tell me, who goes to jail when an unlocked house is robbed? Who is the ONLY person who invaded the property of someone else and stole their belongings? Do you barge into people's homes if the door is unlocked, then argue with them that they were inviting you inside? And if you did, who would win the argument?
Also, I am not a house. I am a PERSON. I live, I breathe, I think, I can say yes and no and I mean both of those words when I say them. You're an adult who thinks I am less than him because I wore a crop top and short shorts. Imagine telling your daughter that, or your sister, or your wife, or your friend. Imagine any of them comes up to you and says "I've been raped", and all you say back is "It's your fault too." And if this makes you feel anything different, think about why the only way you can feel empathy for someone is if their situation personally affects you.
Disgusting.
@@lockedin6699Even when the homeowner had double security, should they still get blamed when they are robbed? If someone is robbed, the victim is never jailed are they...if they didn't secure properly. They might have a responsibility to be smart but they aren't committing the crime...
@@lockedin6699 wow this saddens me. If you ever had a daughter violated you may change your mind. For religious ppl, even Jesus said to "pluck out your own eyes". Self control means controlling oneSELF. This is a spiritual path for many, but especially men, n men choose not to take it, sadly, to women n children's detriment. Do you know that a women can be covered head to toe in hijab, niqab etc, n men have been found to oogle n lust after their ankles?!? "Their ankles are showing! This gives is an excuse!" This not about modesty, but the fact that some ppl feel they own other ppl. It is about lack of boundaries on the male's part. Humanity will be liberated the day they no longer choose blame, shame and critiscism-based psychologies that excuse this kind of lust. Love, divine love, is personal responsibility. How would you feel if someone came up and punched you in the face everywhere you go for having developed muscles? Men would not tolerate being r@ped by women, but especially not by other men, or even disrespected for that matter, for going outside their home n for such superfluous things. Women are not existing FOR you. We have a right to BE outside of what that means for men who have been programmed to believe they have inherent rights to a women. Everyone, especially children, BELONG to their SOUL, not to another person. Despite societal programmings.

@fastboywhiteboardprobably people outside the western world tend to actually make mairrage last instead of being selfish and throwing there familys in the trash

@itsbubbles4021 dont stay if there is legitimate abuse you should leave, but it's not the majority of reasons in the Western world that people abandon their marriage
UUMMM !! She is absolutely freaking gorgeous!!! She has the kindest voice too!
I need whatever she is putting on her face. Her skin is so smooth.
Uganda seems so beautiful. If I had the chance to travel anywhere, it would be there.
I love her accent
They sound out the English words. It's lovely
I've always been modest... I didn't even stop wearing opera gloves until about a decade ago...lol I used to REALLY cover up, though ngl, I am, as a woman, getting tired of us being blamed for the behavior of men. If they are adults, they should be able to control themselves and stop blaming us for their weaknesses, because it's also weak to blame another for your actions. We see men walking around with nothing on but shorts, and we can act like we have some sense, like we have some self control. No matter how handsome, gorgeous, attractive a man is, I'm not going to whistle at him, I'm not going to "Hey baby!", I'm not going to make him feel like an object, because I have class and self-control... We seriously need to stop excusing men for behavior they can definitely control. Societies all over the world make too many excuses for the terrible behavior some men do and then blame women for. Now, all that being said, I understand culture, but culture also has room to grow, all humans and cultures are capable.
100% this I would cover up either way and respect the culture in that way but it’s so obvuously about sexual harassment. It shouldn’t just be part of the culture. Like you said we all have room to grow especially culturally and grown men need to apparently be taught how to be grown men universally.
exactly!!
I agree with you so much on this one. Like, of course i am not gonna wear tanktop and shorts if i go there because its their country and i am only a guest but cultures aren't static.
My own culture had really bad aspects to it in the past. People here would have been furious if you disrespected those aspects but nowadays, even we think those things were shit and we got rid of them.
It's honestly kinda sad that a lot of men don't know you can just practice resisting the temptation of random attractive women. I've had talks about this and some guys really think it's impossible like: 'if you have a healthy testosterone level you're going to be distracted by every woman you see' and in some cases catcalling is part of that I guess
But at the end of the day these guys sabotage their own happiness with their sexual frustration
I'm a guy myself btw, I just can't stand these men that have the impulse control of children
exactly! very nuanced take
This boy will grow up and understand consent
Good advice!! I'm glad to hear that, because some people have no boundaries. And or either they have no respect for themselves or others.
I love these. I'm so curious about other cultures, these videos are everything
You're welcome
You like animals treating you like meat? It’s not about their skin colour it’s about their misogyny
@@222222aniawhat are you trying to say
@@222222ania it’s such a better culture over there. Women have dignity and value not like the half naked sleazeball 304s over here in North America.
You’re so modest that you whistle at a woman showing a knee? Uganda no thanks
Uganda accents are so relaxing....she should put out audio books. 😊
I really like how easy you speak and so real. Thanks. I subscribed
It's not just about modesty and you know that. It being socially acceptable to be violent or gross towards someone because of how they dress is not something to be proud of and complacency is an enabler. I'm tired of people pretending like the problems in their country is "just the culture" these type of things are beyond that. Infringing on someone's rights is infringing on someone's rights, period.
Agreed. I think there’s a diff between telling someone “here are some unfortunate reality checks about this culture if you want to be safe in your travels here” and actually trying to justify it as reasonable with some ~do as the Romans do~ hand-waving
It’s important to recognize that everything is not only about you, what you like, or how you wish to behave. The world is not obligated to shift to accommodate you as you are. To believe so is plain and simple, abject narcissism.
When we go out into the world and engage with other cultures, it’s wholly unrealistic to expect them to embrace us as we are, especially if it’s counter to their culture.
We invite much of the treatment we receive. Whether or not we believe that is justified doesn't change the reality of being a human being in a complex world.
If you want to be treated with respect, conduct yourself respectfully ton the context of the time and place. If you are unwilling to do that, stay home, or be prepared to be offended and disappointed.
It's not narcissism it's just humans rights..and if basic human rights are so much of a chore for some countries and "cultures" then humanity is fucked up@@StopTheWorld65
"When you go to Rome behave like the Romans", if only foreigners could apply that in Europe, i'd be happy.
I've been to many places. Europeans do not follow anyone's rules but their own. And they certainly didn't when deciding to invade everyone on earth.
@@edwigeguerin894 Me too and I've seen the opposite,
That's why everybody should stay in their country and will have to choose who can and who cannot come, in the XXIth century.
@@syb1510 today's migration are for some, consequences of yesterday's invasions amongst other things.
But if we could go back in time and reverse many things it would be amazing.
Do I like some of the direspectful behaviour I see of some migrants in my country? No, but I recognise that we all do it if not worse, when going to their countries.
Migration has good and bad. *
But it's a hard process on both sides.
*fish and chips brought by jewish to the uk made it a british popular dish. The Tropézienne a french dessert from the south of France was invented by a polish migrant, sauerkraut is chinese but travelled all the way to Germany and France, and so on.
Ok, I mostly talk about food but wether we want migration to happen or not to happen at least at times great things to make my belly happy do happen😉
@@edwigeguerin894 All countries have been invaded on day, in France nobody ask refuge to Germany during the WW2 😅
I'll be quite hard, sorry about it:
Regarding the migrants, an Afghan has r*aped a 12 years old girl under a bridge in my city. Fews months before africans r*aped a 40 years old woman in the same city. One of my relative has been r*ped by another sub-african man. Which is still free due to the justice of my country, he is known but police does nothing.
That's why I'm asking to choose and deny the refugee status to any citizen from countries whose haven't the same morals like my country.
I'm not according to you about "efforts from both side": when I come in your country I have to follow your rules/morals. I don't have to ask you to "adapt" to mine, I will have to learn and follow yours, the effort is on one side only.
They must ask refuge in countries which the same morals as we'd have to do so, that's why I wroten the old sentence about Roma 🙂
No hate, just pragmatism: selection is the key for a good integration to the society.
[ Bon appétit ]
@@syb1510 I'm french, your joke is not quite on point. Read history books
Awesome. Modesty should be popular everywhere, it’s truly respectful to all❤
She is so beautiful!! Her skin is gorgeous!
You can be covered head to toe it doesn't mqke you modest. Even when you dress modest the harass you. Not just in uganda.
They fantasize over nuns. They won't stop at anything.
It makes you *look* modest and that's what she's talking about. Nobody cares about what you think in your head, if you have dirty thoughts or whatever but you have to look appropriate.
If they didn't harass you in Uganda even when you wore modest clothes then no point mentioning it here
Um, being covered does make you modest. Why yall so butthurt over the fact that dressing modest? If you can't respect cultures with modesty, dont go there.
Modesty is not a matter of avoiding harassment. Those criminals will SA a woman even if she's fully clothed. It's similar to combing your hair so that it's set right when you go outside.
Also, if you are gay... Say goodbye to your loved ones. FOREVER.
My man, we're here for the goodness. What triggered you to make that comment? Why was this the thing that came to mind for you to say?
I KNOW that you know there are other countries that do the same thing, and as we can see with America it's possible to slip backwards with progress....so I wouldn't act super high and mighty that where you live doesn't.
@@staytuned2L337they are right
Well you can keep your gayness till you leave Uganda, you ain't gonna die if you respect the culture right? Or you can just stay home. Lol
@@tulip811 I mean, do either of you care about that at all? Or is this just a thing to wave around as a point of "badness"?
Seems like a bit of a bullshit point to make, otherwise.
Or go somewhere else? Me as a black person wouldn't go to just any country in the world. 🤷🏾♀️
I LOVED hearing “muzungu muzungu!” from the kids when we stepped into a town. My group is from California so of course we taught them “Shaka brah” (🤙🏻) and it makes me so happy to know there are a ton of little Kenyan kiddos flashing around the Shaka
I appreciate people like you so much. Trips to other countries won't be fun unless you feel safe and comfortable
She is beautiful and her skin is glowing
No shit sherlock she dang nearly dipped her whole face in bacon grease
I went to the city in shorts one time and everyoneee was looking at me. Then some woman shouted “ay muzungu you are naked” 😭😭 I ran to the shop and bought a long dress (it was sooo ugly). - I’m half Ugandan btw 😂
😂I didn't know they spoke swahili in Uganda!
😂😂😂😂
thats the most ugandan way to say it too 😭😭 ati naked 🤣
@@asanteshoo1525I think just a few words here n there maybe they were brought in by some Swahili people in the central our word from western Uganda is omujungu meaning a white person it's close to the Swahili one
We are from Kampala, most people there use “muzungu”.
You are so beautiful! Your skin is perfect and your jawline is flawless! Keep up the good work
I love your accent, so glad I found your page cause u hold my curiosity
Thanks for the tips but I don’t think I’ll ever go to Uganda because I’m gay and I kinda don’t wanna get ✨executed✨
hello fellow gay
Oh yeah coz all gay people have "gay" tattooed on their forehead, makes it easier for us to identify and✨execute✨ you
Or do you find the need to scream that you're gay on every corner? Get over yourself.
Act like a normal human being and no one will care about you. You dont shit on the floor in a posh restaurant and then blame the employees for kicking you out do you? Same here, behave yourself and have manners and you'll be just fine, buddy
that really sucks for yoou.
Yeah thanks, I am not coming to Uganda to get catcalled.
eerm no? @@samrinnazari7344
Yes, I heard that a lot when I was there! It made me smile!
Omg, Your skin is so pretty! It looks flawless 😭
As a bi person I don't think I'm coming at all😅😅
My trans ass is gonna stay away. I've been contacted by Ugandan refugees through social media asking for help fleeing the country or tending their wounds from being attacked by the public or the police.
Same. I've got many Ugandan friends who want me to visit and I will never. I don't see te point of giving my tourist money to a government that hates and harms those like me anyway.
Good
Stay home

We have gays in Uganda just dress like a man not in a skirt no one will even notice
@@kyomugisharoset8266lmao not anymore. your own bigoted legislation made sure of that, boo boo.
@@user-mt3dc3iy7s yes true, as many other places too.. But what's got to do with anything?
@@user-mt3dc3iy7s and we talk about them as much as we talk about the criminalization of homosexuality in Uganda, or anywhere else...
@@user-mt3dc3iy7sI mostly hear the middle east being criticized for it so i think it might be that you hear it African nations being criticized for it more because that's where you are. People hear news that are more relevant to them
Also I'm getting the vibes that the reason you're upset about ratio of criticism of abuse and discrimination of LGBT+ people in Africa and in the middle east is you wouldn't want it being criticized much at all. Culture and religion is not an excuse to deny basic human rights from people.
Don't worry I am not coming to live in Uganda girlie. U can live with your modesty in peace. Women get harassed in niqabs so miss me with that. ✨✨✨
Nothing at all wrong with this information. If you visit someone’s home you respect their house. Same with different countries and cities, you are a visitor and should respect them.
Yikes her skin is 🔥 natural beauty with flawless skin
Does this apply to males? Not wearing anything above the knees and so on?
Lol what do u think
yes it does apply
Would love to visit just the politicised homophobia is concerning.
Her skin is flawless - amazing add for that lotion 🤣
I love videos like this, I always learn so much
Unfortunatley I’m gay - so I can’t ever come to Uganda. Such a shame
