'Imperial democracy mainstreams women's rights discourse into foreign policy and militarises women for imperial goals' - Zillah Eisenstein
'It is the policies of the ruling class - including policies that institutionalise sexism and racism in society; policies that fuel hate and aggression and take resources away from beneficial programmes - which promote and perpetuate this violence.' - Leilani Dowell
You're basically rallying against sexism and patriarchy, and of course you're ABSOLUTELY correct. But my position is that sexism always has historical, political, class and economic dimensions. It's not enough to say "men should westernize and stop treating kids and women badly" without examining other things.
And often the notion that we in the civilized world are "liberating" women and men from "sexist", "barbarians" is but a pretext and a myth. We engeder this backwardness, benefit from it, and support those who do. Every "liberated" woman in the west has a small army of oppressed women halfway around the world supporting her.
It will be righteous African and Indian and Middle Eastern men and women, those with morality and guts, who slowly and inevitably reform these countries. The West, as it exists as some vague ideological entity, doesn't care much, and will do everything it can to hamper this development
