“If you find yourself using the plight of women in foreign countries as a bludgeoning tool against the comparatively hyper-privileged women of America, you should be flat out ashamed and embarrassed...

Does domestic violence not happen here?... Does rape not happen in the US or something now?... Using women of the global community to try to silence American women and make them feel guilty for exercising their first amendment right of free speech is absurd at best, and embarrassing at worst. You don't have to cross an ocean or continental border to find examples of women who don't have the resources.”
