Having lived in culturally conservative countries, women were the biggest enforcers of the traditional roles. [/quote]

Were they educated?[/quote]

They could be.

What people often don't / refuse to understand is that in other cultures, people have different expectations and idealized ways of living. I used to be judgmental before I moved abroad and experienced living in different cultures. The western progressive mindset is just another variant of colonialism.

You know that a lot of American progressives are immigrants from (or children of immigrants from) those other cultures and mindsets, right? You might have lived in other countries, but my family is from a conservative, developing country where women are both enforcers of traditional roles and also suffer from terrible, socially-accepted, abuse. It's complicated...and universal tolerance of every oppressive and illiberal idea just because it's from a different cultural isn't colonialism...nor is it even actually western progressivism. It's just a bizarre form of virtue-signalling run amok. [/quote]
