Are you really going to argue that women in Saudi Arabia, forced to wear black sheets with a window for their eyes, who can get "honor killed" by their brothers or uncles (a misdemeanor) if they have the audacity of doing something dishonorable like having the gall of getting raped or divorce their husband, are better of than men?

Really?

Yes, women have it worse in some countries. Why is it worse for a few women to face discrimination than an entire planet of men? You are more responsive to suffering when women are the victims.

Most people have this idea that women inherently deserve more and are always innocent.

That's just projection, because I do and am.

Why does being female make you more deserving and pardon you of any guilt?

I'm just taking about myself.
