It means that West is no better than East in women's rights and consequently need to absorb the shock and deal with it.

Furthermore, whenever you hear westerners, either governments or people, condemn Eastern societies for opressing women, your duty as an Easterner is to give them your point of view which I am sure they will not like unless they are 'critical thinkers' as some claim.

I have no problems with anyone on this earth and I am not racist but it is a fact that most of East's critiques originate from the West ignorantly.

Let me know if this is not clear yet and I will be happy to explain it forever.
