  I mean they do though… Even in Latin America you have access to free healthcare and reproductive care (often including abortion).

  Are you implying the US is one of the best countries for women’s rights?

    It could be that women are oppressed globally.

      You’re right, better to give the benefit of the doubt

    Absolutely. Most people outside US fail to realize that a bunch of states are bigger than most countries on this planet and Texas does not define America.

    naw, my point is they generally have it pretty shitty everywhere. i used the term agency for reason.

    sure here or there will have a specific better feature, like healthcare, but then thats offset by the incredible violence domestic or otherwise in that same region

      I’m confused why this is an unpopular sentiment. Surely we agree patriarchy is an unjust and almost universal force in our world? Some places are better and worse for womens rights… But doesnt every major religion basically dictate that women are not and cannot be equal?

        yeah i dont get it either.

        whole countries convince women that they are supposed to be second class citizens. rape is their fault. education is haphazard at best. killed at birth for being female.

        the world over, women generally have it worse off than males. this is not a controversy, but a statement of fact.

        Because “it’s worse elsewhere” is an empty statement that stops any discussion on any problem. Why not look at where things are better instead?

  Classic Ameribrain, having literally no understanding of the world outside its borders.
