You speak of equality for the sexes, but really, how equal are they? Maybe its my Existentialist inclination showing, but the equality is superficial at best. What is the measuring stick? Physical expectations? Cerebral capacity? Pay checks and occupations?
Equality under the law.

These are all very nice ideas, I suppose, but the rights you are championing aren't even held dear in the country which inititially espoused them. They are used and abused by individuals in order to further selfish aims.
So anything less than perfection is crap? You're really not giving the U.S. enough credit.

Because abject poverty is much more preferable than facing the HORRORS of CAPITALISM and DEMOCRACY!
