“Equity” is supposedly Marxism’s number one goal, but sexism and misery are more pervasive than ever in El Salvador under the Marxist FMLN; it is the reason Salvadorans are so eager to walk over our open southern border. |

Curious about this….what does sexism look like in El Salvador? |

Google “Machismo culture” for starters. Then look up State Department Country Condition Report on El Salvador (it is a public document). Suffice to say: violence against women is pervasive in ES. |

Not sure how El Salvador is any worse than about half of Latin America. Violence against women is horrendous in Peru, for example. Machismo culture is pervasive in Mexico, Central and South America and the Carribean. |

I have never felt that I could not achieve anything I set out to do. Ever. Agree violence against women is horrible but in western cultures it’s far less of an issue. |

Interestingly, while Central and South American countries have entrenched machismo cultures and high rates of violence against women, many have also taken substantial steps to address these problems in particular by recognizing gender based violence as substantially different and codifying femicide into the laws - something we have never even contemplated in the USA.
Do we really think it’s better for equality to treat all murder victims the same and not to acknowledge in the law that the great majority of female murder victims in USA are killed by male perpetrators for gender based reasons i.e., domestic violence? As a former prosecutor I think we should codify femicide and highlight the victimization of women for being women. |

Domestic violence and violence against women are EPIDEMIC in western cultures. You need to get your head out of the sand and educate yourself on the facts. Yay for you if you’ve lived a life largely free of misogyny - but I suspect you are merely oblivious likely due to having internalized misogyny. |

Research Marxism on the unpaid labor of women. |

Because women don't want it? |

She did not say it does not exist in US, she said it is far less of an issue. I grew up in a third world country and I totally agree with her, it is so much less violence and women are more protected in US than around the world. |

SOME women. The patriarchy is alive and well because the number of women who like it outnumber the men willing to dismantle it. |
