Higher standard? I don't think so. Ideally, the value of woman's rights isn't based on geography. If you put into practice a higher standard for one country, doesn't that debase the value of women's rights everywhere else? I personally think of all women, everywhere, as equals. Placing a higher standard for women in one country tends to commoditize the issue for all. Women rights have more value here than there? So over there, they're worth quantity "here less X"? Well, if that's the way you choose to practice it.
Thus, your opening post, falsely presented as a concern for women's rights, is really just anti-American propaganda exploiting concern for a real cause, only pretending to have any concern for women — women anywhere. BTW, if they're not as valuable "over there", then just what is the value, I again ask? 75 goats, in case 50 was too little an offer? Surely you must know the price, since your making a value judgment of the worth of American women vs. others. What's today's going rate on the ForEx? |
