How long should we tell women, even in the West, that they have to wait for a better education system before expecting any form of equality under the law?
In most western nations women
do have equality under law. The government has done what
it needed to do. The problem is misogyny still exists in segments of society
despite the law. That is a social enlightenment (read education) problem not one the government can change with religious censorship.
In those backass places where misogyny itself is the law of the land then the government needs to be changed and that can only come about with social enlightenment (read education) and probably bloody revolution.
You go ahead and tell
your wives and daughters you want to destroy their legal guarantee of freedom of conscience in order to save them. See how that fits.
