Yeah, this.

I kind of hate that a lot of women and girls want to absolutely ignore the great progress we've made, at least in North America and most parts of the West.

Shit still sucks in a lot of ways but gee whiz it feels good not to be oppressed.

a lot of women are oppressed though.

And a lot aren't, which was the point being made. No one was dismissing oppression, just pointing out that it isn't universal and specifically that great steps have been made against it.

Oh, absolutely.

I'm tried of young college women with progressive families pretending they are downtrodden. That's what I mean.

i think there's different forms of it, and the form sexism takes in the West is now a lot more subtle, with some of the advances we've made.

also race and culture and religion have effects on how sexism is expressed, so it's kind of this big ball of complicated stuff all tangled together.

I think the point your making, that the other people responding don't get is the idea that "until we're all free, none of us are free"

It's not right to boast about our freedoms and pretend we've "Come so far" while the middle east still exists.
