For example, sexual intercourse between a woman and a man in the missionary position is normal. Oral sex is not normal. Swinging, on the other hand, is rather abnormal. Same-sex relationships are completely abnormal.
There are four ways of talking about politically, religiously or otherwise sensitive topics: to argue, to redirect to other problems, to talk only about the desired direction, or not to talk at all. It seems Scandinavia has chosen the last - if you don't talk about a problem, it will go away on its own.
Looking at it abstractly and detached from reality (and history) - emphasising the rights of one group as a mechanism for correcting inequality is not in itself a bad thing. Even if we set aside V. Rudzītis's musings on men's unconditional submission to the goddess, the singling out of one particular group of people at least prompts reflection on the possible true aims of such a desire.
This morning I found myself wondering why Latvian society exhibits passivity when it comes to getting involved, expressing one's position in real action rather than online posts, taking on responsibility. From time to time an activist emerges. It is good that there is such a one, but that is not public opinion worth listening to, by whose demand or critical attitude it is worth reviewing norms or improving legislation.

Under certain conditions a micro-enterprise pays more in taxes than a regular LLC. It is easy to notice that a micro-enterprise is advantageous if a balance has been found between the number of employees and revenue.
The purpose of this article is to show that teachers' salaries are far from consisting only of a base salary, as is often presented by the media and by teachers themselves. Moreover, when working multiple loads, it is not hard to imagine that there is simply no time left for consultations.
Press freedom is a sacred matter, but this case illustrates that "official news agencies" cannot be a reliable source of news, since it is evident that the high EU official Mogherini could not simultaneously have had two different positions on one issue.
It never ceases to surprise that society stirs from its philistine slumber only when it is already too late. Then - yes, it will go to demonstrations, shake its fists and banners. Respectable ladies and gentlemen, lawyers, doctors, MPs also get drawn into this farce.
Latvia is not mono-ethnic, and therefore there exists, albeit theoretical, inter-ethnic tension. Action, in this case from a media outlet's side, aimed at creating different information spaces for different ethnic or language groups of one country's residents, must also be considered a matter of national security.
