Yeah, that's not my argument.

I'm arguing that brown countries are over stigmatized as backwards when it comes to women's rights, when white countries aren't as progressive as people would like to believe, and we still have a long way to go.

    If by "brown countries", you mean Islamic Sharia law countries, then they are, by definition, backwards when it comes to women's rights. Afghani women's rights groups were just starting to claw back modern social norms before Trump fucked it up and gave the country back to the backwater assholes that we call the Taliban.

    We should stop accepting their beliefs as just some harmless extension of their religion, and call it out for the oppressive bullshit it is.
