I did not specifically say that I was talking about third world countries. I already know a lot of what you said, the rape and oppression of women is still prevalent. Obviously women are weaker and would be raped and robbed in lieu of a man if the opportunity arose. Never did I deny that. I just meant that the conditions for women vs. men politically are improving, "equalizing," as seen by the very recent improvement in wages for women with the same jobs as men (that would be in America).

I do not want to argue this on the internet. Yeah, women have it bad, but IMO that's changing.
