One big difference is that people outed by Ashley Madison were not at risk to the degree that muslim daters are at being harmed violently.
And even though the definition of adultery may vary between cultures, ignoring the difference between a website where you purposely go in blatant disregard of a personal and somewhat legal trust you established with someone versus a website where you go in an attempt to build a new relationship with the goal of finding a partner, are totally different things. This isn't "impressing" values. There is a clear difference in the acts.
To drive that point home, there is a clear difference between a 8 year old stealing something versus a 40 years old man. The 40 year old man knows the difference and the consequences while the 8 year old does not. When making a decision on punishment, it shouldn't matter what cultural values you have, there is a clear difference between the two that cannot be ignored. And that is the same things here. Dating versus adultery are more different than just different values.
So I wouldn't label this as hypocrisy as you are attempting to.
- douche 10y agoIf an eight-year-old hasn't been impressed with the immorality of theft by that point then there has been a serious lapse of parental and even basic community policing.
- douche 10y agoApparently it is not okay to expect parents to teach their children that it is not acceptable to steal shit by the time they have reached school age...
- BurningFrog 10y agoWithout looking up the statistics, I'm confident that "being outed as a cheater" is one of the leading causes of people being "harmed violently" by their spouse.
- CaptSpify 10y agoBut that's generally discouraged by law. Don't some muslim countries have laws violently that punish sexually promiscuous people?

- projectramo 10y agoThis shows laws against PDAs, not private "promiscuity" whatever that is
