I have a friend in Bangladesh, has to wear be fully covered when she leaves the house or she'll get raped or beaten (her words), can't get work, can't leave home without her father or brother, CAN attend university but can't pay for it due to abject poverty. Her brother is a corrupt local politician who locks her in a storage room when he is in the house.

He is a fat, useless sack of shit that bullies his elderly parents and has even stolen money I sent her. I helped put her through some of college since it's a few Hundred bucks here and there, but I can only help so much. Women there have ZERO say in anything and it's set up to perpetuate that system.

That's why it boggles my mind when the left tries to be an ally to the very people that would stone them to death.
