Dell, women are second class citizens everywhere in the world. Hell, here in the USA we have cultures that endorse 48 year old men marrying multiple teenage wives. And just because it's technically illegal here doesn't mean much to the women to whom it's happening in this nation, as we speak.

Polygyny (and polyandry, in the few cultures where that occurs) become the norm in various parts of the world for multiple reasons. But criticizing cultures as "backward" doesn't do anything towards creating equality of opportunity for those being affected, any more than calling anti-vaxxers morons is going to get them to do their civic duty and get their kids vaccinated.

EDIT to add: Well, okay, there are forager cultures that come much closer to gender equality than we do. Again, due to myriad factors.

Let's be honest. We have cults here in the USA that endorse such and let's not forget to include MANBLA's position that 48 year old men should be able to teach sex to gay young boys.

Thankfully it's not 'our culture' and the women and boys 'victimized' here in the US have numerous resources including the law and general public on their side. Sadly the same thing can't be said for many places in the rest of the world.

I've always maintained that women will change the cultures that need changing because as experience has taught us the men are content maintaining the status quo.

I'm DYING to know where the feigned "outrage" of all of this was when you Republitards were in charge and oil was 100+ a barrel.

Oh, You were still sucking the same dick, but now you aren't stuffing currency in your oil-laden tills, so NOW its all about the poor, downtrodden commonfolk

Shill.

Keep on keepin' on.

How about the poor, under-privileged, downtrodden, young girls your pal Rush Limbaugh "enjoyed" on his viagra-fueled trip to the Dominican Republic?!
