Evil is so common in China, it is pedestrian. An entire nation of rudderless people.

Find me any society where women are treated well. I hope you can find one, but you won't find many.

Indian? Sorry.

Islamic? Sorry.

China? No way.

Europe? Nope.

Native American? no way.

Latin America? Absolutely not.

Burma? You saw what happened.

Being a woman most places in time and place means to be treated as a second rate citizen, or worse.

Do Polynesian cultures treat women well? It seems they might.

To be fair, Indians do the same thing. And Asian-Americans have also been shown to selectively kill fetuses based on gender.

It sucks.

Let's just face it, man is nothing more than a naked ape with more malice and viciousness.

Too bad, we can't just all be French.

I just read this book, and found that studies show that there are between 60-101 "missing women" in the world due to gender discrimination, with China, India and Pakistan having the greatest disproportion of male to female. Besides selective sex abortions, this number is credited to neglect of girl infants, witholding of medical care for girls (people will vaccinate and take boys to the hospital, but not their daughters), girls who die early from AIDS caught as sex slaves in brothels, "bride burnings" and "honor killings".... the list goes on.

As if this somehow justifies Title IX.

I am glad I am a man but worry for my daughters, sisters and women friends. Thank goodness most of them reside in the US, where some semblance of decency exists.
