Just going to reply a few points here without direct quotes:
--The West is certainly better in progress towards equality among the sexes, but it's not there yet. We may have to agree to disagree on the magnitude of progress.
--I'd love to junk the monstrosity of the current health care system in favor of a "Medicare at age 0", or single payer. But politics is difficult, and it's just not politically feasible at this time, so you gotta take what you can get.
--Of course women slutshame as well, and it's just as bad as when men do it. I agree that it can't be legislated, at least with direct law, and I think we agree in comprehensive sex education to solve the problem, which in my opinion is to be open, honest, and respectful of sexuality.
--If there are sex-neutral physical job requirements (i.e., you must be able to lift X number of pounds), that's fine. Again, it's obvious that there will be biological discrepancies there. But any sort of social constructs, regardless of which sex it disadvantages, should be questioned.
