I'm saying violence agaisnt women in India is not a bigger issue than violence against men in India. Or violence by women. I am saying there is inequity: men are about nine times more likely to be victims of violence. I am saying that it is the bigoted focus on female victims and male perpetrators and suppression of stories about male victims and female perpetrators that reinforces your bigotry until you salivate for more.

I am saying women in Iran and Saudi Arabia lack rights and opportunities that men have, but this does not constitute an inequity because men lack rights and opportunities that women have, and also have obligations, burdens, risks, and sacrafices that women don't have. Nowhere do women have to a greater extent the privilege of living off the labor of men every day of their lives, and being protected by men who risk their lives for precious females. Nowhere are women considered more precious, and men considered more presumptively evil, than the places where any man who merely looks at a woman has committed a grave offense that could cost him a life. It is only by squealing about the tradgedy of being confined to the castle, without acknowledging that women are princesses can you sustain the fiction of inequity. It is only by denying that Boko Harem slaughtered thousands of boys in schools and reporting only that 200 girls were kidnapped that you claim a fictitious "war on women". Egypt will forever be remembered for its blue bra. 175 THOUSAND people died. All men. You didn't know that. You don't know any of their names. While 175 THOUSAND men were giving their lives to their torturers in underground prisons, the women were hiding in their apartments sipping tea and whining about how unfair it was that they would have to support themselves while their husbands were being tortured in prison. This js a well documented fact. What you remember is that one precious princess got her feelings hurt when she was breaking the law, and instead of torturing or murdering her, the police showed restraint. Her abaya fell open and her bra was exposed. How embarrassing! This was the photo that was on the front page of every newspaper in the world. Not a photo of mass graves full of murdered men. It was only after the precious princess was the victim of a fashion faux pas that thousands of other women came out of their apartments into the streets and joined the demonstrations. When they did, they marched and chanted, "The streets will run red with the blood of our BROTHERS before one more precious princess gets her feelings hurt." They got so pissed about the bra, they demanded that their husbands and sons die. Yeah, its so fucking oppressive that women have to wear an abaya!
