And no-one ever points out, that this culture isn't women's culture thank you very much - it's men's culture, a culture which in common with all patriarchal cultures in the world, was inflicted on women by violence and then maintained by violence, a culture designed to ensure that women are totally unable to function as full members of that culture where their voices are silenced and can only sneak out into the culture in the most oblique and creative ways.
No wonder some Western men are so fucking eager to defend their brothers' cultures across the world. No wonder they come up with this bullshit about cultural imperialism and neo-colonialism. It's in the interest of men who want to hang on to their privilege, to have women being genitally mutilated and not allowed to drive and not educated etc. etc., in other far away countries of which we know little, so that they can point at those countries and say: "look - look how nice we are compared to those awful foreign men! We're not cutting your genitals - we let you drive - we educate girls - we don't push you onto your husband's funeral pyres when they die - now FGS sister, STFU about the rape figures and the pay gap and the poverty and the glass ceiling and the labiaplasty and the domestic violence and the lost history of women and the lost voices of women's experience, etc. etc., because look, you could be a Saudi/ Afghan/ Somali/ Insert undesirable male culture here woman and then where would you be? See how nice we Western men are? WTF are you lot bitching about? Now get the tea / get yer knickers off."
Pah. Racist wankers. All patriarchal culture is the same - designed to disempower us and empower men at our expense. How brutally it expresses itself, simply differs depending on how far men have managed to colonise women's psyche.
