The Russian President put it succinctly.

On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president,
addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the
tensions with minorities in Russia:

"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live
in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect
the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari'ya Law, then we advise them to go to those
places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities.
Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges,
or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'.
We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and
France, if we are to survive as a nation.
The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack
of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities.
When this honourable legislative body thinks of creating new laws,
it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that
the minorities are not Russians.

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for five minutes!

Says it all doesn't it ?

I really don't have a problem with equal rights for women, provided they don't become MORE equal. Unfortunately this is what has happened in a lot of cases.

Another problem is that the Equal Rights question isn't just confined to the Women's Movement it invades every minority or disadvantaged group in order to compensate their minority or disadvantaged status. Suddenly, these people become MORE equal & ordinary people suddenly find themselves at a disadvantage.
