So let's give up on fixing anything because it's always worse somewhere else?

  What an outrageous example of a straw man, I never suggested anything of the sort. Women here can run for president, own newspapers, vote and own guns and property. That's more free than most people these days. We should celebrate that best of all time freedom for women. Never in history have women been as equal and empowered as right now and right here. We should care more about our chinese and other brothers and sisters who live an oppressed life of authoritarian rule. All people deserve what american women have, and all Americans deserve more than we've achieved, and american women deserve more. All of these can be true.

    I'm not trying to leave the USA, but suggesting it's not fubar is a willful denial of reality. 'It could always be worse' is an agent of the status-quo. This place maybe the least-worst, but we can still strive for actually good. Edit: you're completely right that we should balance our efforts domestically with our efforts universally. The latter is unfortunately a much more intricate web to unweave than the relatively simple issues we've got here. It sucks.
