Av,

If you want to argue on women rights on USA vs Nepal, please create another thread and i will fully express my views there. Yes there are cases of women getting burnt down for dowry, witches, and other stupidity. Those things are all over the world. When things turn downhill women, children, and other vulnerables are the ones to suffer. Yes in Asian and African countries it appears that women and children are suffering more but along with women and children other weaker men are suffering as well. We saw the same thing happening here in " New Orleans" . We saw how long it took for a 200 years civilization to disappear with one storm.

If you haven't noticed, RIGHTS only works when the stomach is FULL. In countries with less FOOD there is less RIGHTS for all of its country men. It happens that Stronger Men claim more rights than weaker men, women, and children.

And yes i have traveled to rural Nepal. And yes i have seen wife beaters in Nepal, but majority of women ruled their houses and their men, some rural woman even beat their husbands with a log    "Daura".

But my argument is not about women right. I have an issue with the American who takes a shelter of a Nepali Stereotype to punish an American.
