I wonder if it ever occurred to the author that maybe societies that are poorer and less stable treat women badly...

  One could argue that's in the title. I understand someone might interpret it to mean [0] but it looks more like [1] to me. Could someone better versed in english and logic please clarify what the title means? [0] treat women badly ⇒ poorer and less stable [1] treat women badly ⇔ poor and less stable [2] it's ambiguous

    [3] poor and less stable ⇒ treat women badly That is treating women poorly is not leading to being poor, but result of being poor.

      This may be true but definitely not what the title is trying to convey, right?

    Right above the title is "The cost of misogyny". The author(s) _clearly_ want to manipulate you into believing [0]. [0] might be true nonetheless, but that doesn't change the fact that this article is the mother of all fallacies.

  It to mention the hidden variable: “dysfunctional societies both end up poorer and treat their women badly”.
