reminds me of a time that i had a somalian friend over and he saw an open ms. magazine on my kitchen table talking about the plight of women in africa, including genital mutilation and abuse

he blew up because what the hell did the authors know about the situation of women in africa. said they are held up so high, and if anyone saw a man beat a woman they would kill him

also reminds me of a reaction of an ethiopian friend to the polygamous practices of an indian king in a movie

truth is you can't judge a situation out of it's context. no. shouldn't.

and true, boycotts only work if they're done on a large and organized scale, in which case they cane be very effective.
