Think how women in Afghanistan resist layers of oppression few of us can even imagine. Think how women in Iran resist layers of oppression few of us can even imagine. Think how our world will change when the women of America summon even a fraction of their courage.

Summon courage, and do what? And how does one summon courage? Is there a spell? If we can release all Afghani and Iranian women with just a summons, tell how. Let's get it done!

We women of America don't need ur exhortations. Go away.

Way to blame half your voters. Who’s advising you? Here’s some free advice—don’t blame American voters for their material conditions and mindset. Those are a product of larger issues.

I think you are confusing resistance and conformity. Most women in those countries conform to their society. A few women really break through put it all on the line. And yes American women don't have that; Neo Feminism condemns it.

Yes! We are doing great things, to be fair. Women in the US are huge in protecting wilderness, for example.

The ISSUES we face are small compared to what men and women in some countries face ... As MARIANNE has said ... we need to put our Little Daily Problems and Issues into a Global Context ... and when we do ... we'll realize how insignificant Most of Them REALLY ARE!

Just stop for a moment and think, women in America don’t have to exhibit as much courage as women in Iran and Afghanistan because the conditions you live in are so very much better. Have some gratitude for the society you live in.
