Popcorn, this thread deviated away from women's rights a few pages back.
At the heart of the issue is the observation that sometimes the west appears to be more keen to address issues (such as women's rights) on the other side of the world than in their own backyard.
CBD thinks that such behavior is hypocritical, and often so do most westerners, including myself.
The west has also used the illusory notion that it is invading countries, overthrowing regimes and empowering opposition activists with the noble goal of improving women's rights (amongst other things). This might be their stated goal, but in a few cases this has been a lie, and most people wouldn't disupte that.
Anyway, I'm too busy to join the dots, but you get my drift.
