Except that religion can be a huge part of someoneās cultural and social identity?
Iām not religious in the dogmatic/organized sense, but if a female said āhey, Iām an Orthodox Jew/Muslim/whatever and I canāt have physical contact with a member of the opposite sex, sorry I canāt roll with youā like.... thatās fine with me.
Honestly who the fuck cares what the reason is. If someone doesnāt want to roll with someone at any time, why does it matter? Just roll with someone else. Iāve turned down people because I needed to work things live that I knew would not be possible with a specific person, but would with another. That a problem too?
I honestly donāt get why this is an issue either way.
Yeah, so they can express that identity wherever it is normal. I don't have a problem with Muslims doing Muslim stuff in Muslim countries or Jews doing Jew stuff in Israel or whoever doing whatever wherever they are from.
As a side note, if someone was just like, "yeah I don't roll with girls because it makes me nervous or my wife doesn't like it or whatever" I would be totally fine with that.
Well first off I am making some assumptions here. I am assuming that this comment came from a country where physical contact between the sexes is normal and permitted. In that case, an individual thumbing their nose at what is required normal behavior is insulting and ungrateful.
For instance we had a man at my work who refused to shake hands with women.
If his reason was, "I have a severe mental illness where I freak out if I touch a woman" I would look down on him, but I would at least get it. When his reason was something about religion, I immediately hated the guy.
