Because I see how easily things can get misinterpreted or taken out of context and then everything blows up.

(Like crimes committed against women being way higher than crimes committed against men ... etc.) But on the other hand, your post really made me think about where my/other feminists' energy is directed, because, you're right, while I don't think things are necessarily perfect here, they REALLY aren't perfect in other parts of the world where women are brutalized and abused and have no freedom or rights whatsoever. And it does seem like it would be an overall benefit to the world at large to direct more energy toward righting those much greater wrongs.<br /><br />Thanks for making me think! :) And that's a bummer things got kind of heated with the other commenters--sorry about that! I agree, it's really tough to have a civil discussion about politics.<br /><br /> but I think you bring up some interesting points.Kelly Loy Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631392902817058541noreply@blogger.com
