I feel this. I went to an international school with some kick-ass Pakistani girls in Saudi Arabia. TIMs are hardly the main concern for women in a place like Pakistan, or Saudi. Shit, TIMs aren’t even on the radar much in the Bible thumping Trump-humping southern US state I live in now. Women were never seen as fully human in any of these places to begin with. At least there might have been some tiny glimmer of hope in more progressive places. We have so many other crucial issues that are effecting women today, especially in the ultra-conservative theocracies and poverty stricken patriarchies (so, a huge part of the world). I love that PPF doesn’t play nice about it.
