I completely agree that "[t]he issue needs to be resolved internationally, with broad-based initiatives by multiple governments," but it's just not an accurate comparison by the numbers to make a claim that there is any type of equivalency in violence toward women in all geographical areas. I work for a 28,000 employee, $4.5 billion revenue company that has a lesbian as the CEO, and no one gives a shit because she's an amazing executive. Whereas, the Saudi government announced recently that sometime in the next several years they're going to consider giving some civil rights to women at some point. The West has a strong history of violence toward women, but we've made progress.
