No, but they are still individuals who were brought up in that culture.

Yes, and? There have been dissenters in EVERY CULTURE EVER. That doesn't mean that the majority is made of dissenters. It's great that M. and her crew are trying to change things, and I hope they succeed, but the fact that they exist does not invalidate the fact that that culture NEEDS to change, and change a LOT, if women are going to have anything approaching equal rights. And that is because the individuals that comprise that culture are mostly not all that invested in the idea of women being given rights. That is why Malala and her supporters are such a big deal.

Yes, okay, Pakistani culture is sexist and needs to change. I don't think anyone is arguing against that. However, Malala and her supporters being Pakistanis raised in Pakistani culture doesn't keep them from empowering women. Ergo, it doesn't have to be a choice between "Pakistani" and "even approaching empowering for women."
