If that's an American woman, she is in denial or so short sighted as to render her view useless. Everything she said may be true for her (I doubt it, but OK), but it's not all of what's true. At best, her understanding of the wider world is severely myopic. I appreciate the reminder that women in other countries have it so much worse, but that does not mean all is well for women in the US. Does she not understand that fighting for our rights at home only strengthens women everywhere? Is she too stupid to understand that others having it worse does not excuse abuses here just because they're not as extreme? She is blind to much of what her fellow female human beings lives are like, and they aren't that way because of weakness or victim mentality or any shortcoming of the women involved.
Most importantly, she clearly doesn't understand what makes all those heinous abuses possible in any society to begin with. I bet she is also in denial about the millions of otherwise good, decent, intelligent men in our culture who, by waving off demeaning attitudes as normal, only serve to make the world a more welcoming and safe place for predators, for the men who commit the crimes she described, and for continuing the cultures that abuse and kill women and stifle our speech. That mindless, culturally programmed normalization of injustices much smaller than genocide is the substrate of any misogynistic culture. Some people need things to be obvious before they notice.
We are aware of and do speak on injustices everywhere, you fucking moron. And we don't just use the headline version of human rights abuses in other lands to bolster an argument that doesn't actually convey anything like empathy or a realistic understanding of women's issues. The whole rant stinks of "look at me, I go against the grain of all those sheeple" like a contrarian for the sake of controversy rather than fresh perspective. Women have been opposing other women working for women's rights for centuries. They have always been on the wrong side of history. Nothing fresh about this moralizing bullshit.
I do like how she demands that people speak kindly to her, though. Is there a line to speak to her? Is there a green room where people get a protocol briefing on how to approach the idiot with the passionate but irrelevant opinion?
