Why is it so hard for progressives to acknowledge that the modern West is the most liberal and progressive culture in the world, and by far the best society in the world for women (and gays) to pursue their aspirations in defiance of traditional oppression? Is white guilt so deeply ingrained that it trumps all other progressive values?
