So it's your assertion that no culture or country is any more misogynist or unpleasant for women than any other?
Then how do we ever achieve progress? Is Canada today really no better than Canada 50 or 100 years ago? And if it is better, doesn't in stand to reason that cultures that still have attitudes like Canada had 50 or 100 years ago are worse than Canada today?
I've already stated that we would have problems integrating Canadians from 50 or 100 years ago if they immigrated via time machine because of different social values back then. Is that a discriminatory or unfair statement?
You're from Lebanon. Surely you're aware that it's probably the most liberal county in the region (besides Israel). And I'm sure secular Turkish women today would be gratified to learn that the takeover of their country by conservative, religious men is just part of the rich pageant of history, and not a threat to their liberty at all.
