So... in territories that "haven't evolved their understanding of women's rights" their actions are MORALLY acceptable... to them. How am I supposed to impose my morals on them? That's imperialism. IF they decide to align their morals with ours, that is their choice. I don't have to agree with someones morals for them to have morals. You are viewing the world through a black and white lens. You are also taking the position where you and yours have the most highly evolved understanding of right and wrong. Essentially you are saying that your society is the sole arbiter of what is and is not correct. That is the height of arrogance.
Also no, I'm not being antagonistic, you are taking what I am saying as antagonistic because I have a different view of the world than you, and you dislike that. Hence your dismissive and frankly insulting post. The short form of your post reads as follows: If someone is different than you... they are wrong.
This game is played by many people who have differing cultures and languages, why are people not acknowledging this?
