Excellent article. Very informative, except for dreaming that defining a woman can be anything other than biological sex.

Thanks, but I disagree and I’d say the word that suits biological sex better is male/female. Woman/man are social/cultural constructs.

I liked and shared this. Sadly, the west is a poor example for the rights of minorities. But not for the reasons you might think. Because i live in the west I'm not really allowed to say more.(Your first clue we got it wrong.) Except ill say this... turning everyone into a minority isn't the answer. I hope folks understand.

Having said that, let's give it some context, russia, Iran and China (and other similar non-democratic countries) are way worse. I suppose you can equate the minorities thing in the west you mention like that quote Winston Churchill made about democracy - "...democracy is the worst form of government except for everything else" (i.e. communism, socialism, fascism, autocracies etc).he obviously meant, democracy is not perfect, but its better than the rest, maybe you can put the west into the same category, not perfect, but better than the way they get treated in the other non-western political systems.
