Well stated!

No doubt due to the perpetual dick wagging wars.

6. Well, not sure what point you are trying to make. But the first map that I

looked at said that domestic violence laws in this country are adequate, which is certainly NOT the case. Hmmmmm

10. The point was simply that the entire world has some work to do.

[niyad]

12. And nobody said they didn't, so, again, what is your point?

[TheProle]

13. I fail to understand what your issue is

In the spirit of your thread about Woolf's "citizen of the world" quote, I posted some data about the state of women's rights in the world, implicitly applauding her point of view while also pointing out that in the near-century since her death, the world remains a dangerous place for women.

If this somehow pollutes or otherwise derails your thread, let me know and I will remove my posts.

15. No need, your answer made me realize that I had not understood your intent.

I do apologize for my responses, and will look more closely at the wealth of information you provided. I had never seen that site before, so I have a lot of reading to do.

Thank you.

16. Thanks for the thoughtful reply

And I will take away the lesson to provide more context.

17. If everybody handled (an apparent) conflict like you two did here

it'd be a different world.

4. I can agree with this.

5. MAGA will get ICE to deport American women next

starting with any who look a little too liberal
