Tolerance of systemic violence against women can’t be justified in the name of anti-imperialism, helping other human beings isn’t “a savior complex,” and leaving the most powerless & desperate people to fend for themselves in the hour of their agony isn’t political sophistication

If the intention is to ensure the safety and protection of women, how about facilitating those who want to being brought to the US as refugees? If you can't help without pushing an imperialist agenda, you dont really want to help.
