(20,582 posts)that we all know are disastrous for women and children - not only those being killed or mutilated initially, but being thrust into even worse poverty as widows, loss of rights d/t the religious fanatics that never fail to emerge, made refugees, imprisoned and in many cases even tortured makes one a proponent of women's rights?
Those women never seem to matter.
If you don't believe in equal rights and protections for every woman and girl on the planet including those who happen to be unfortunate enough to suffer in countries thought of as hostile to western 'interests', you really only care about two classes of women - those in developed countries who 'deserve' equal rights and those who try to function under govt's willing to serve western interests.
Stand for all or don't pretend you stand for any.
