How much more clear do I have to make it? How do you possibly come to your 'oh you must find it okay that women are oppressed' conclusion in light of that? Guess who has rights? Those women. Guess whose rights would be impinged in the scenario you proposed? Those women. I think that makes my stance incredibly clear.

Actually, it makes it incalculably vague.
What foundations of morality or of rights are you presuming? Are they categorical and universal? Are they ethnocentric?
I think we can both agree that "oppression" is, assuming its conventional definition, an affront to the human condition and therefore generally immoral. Aside from such "black and white" circumstances, is your watertight thesis going to elucidate and furnish justice?
