Yoshie:
Women in a developing country could more profitably compare their struggles with struggles of women in other developing countries, especially those from the same region or those that have similar political history or cultural conditions, and then figure out what strategies and tactics would make most sense for them, rather than compare their struggles with those of Western feminists.
so then why is Switzerland relevant? You brought the comparison between Iran and Switzerland up. It's seems as if it's relevant only if one wants to defend Iran's honor or something like that. -- Jim Devine / "I wanna be with you in paradise / And it seems so unfair / I can't go to paradise no more / I killed a man back there." -- Bob Dylan.
