“That does not mean, that women in the West do not face problems... I guess, we should just stop to evolve our societies. Women in the Western World should just shut up again and stop bothering men with their claims for equality. They have it better then other women on this planet, so why should they complain?

We should also stop helping homeless people, after all, being homeless in the rich west is better then being homeless in a civil war zone.

We should stop supporting poor people(like the European welfare states do), after all, poor people in the West have it better, then poor people in poor countries.

We should stop, criticising our police forces, when they do mistakes, after all, the police in dictatorships is far worse.

We should stop trying to make our educational system better, after all, almost everyone can write and read, which is far better then in other parts of the world.

Sounds stupid? So does your question.”
