Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

What shocking family behavior did you read about in India?

Criminals who won’t hesitate to traffic people, if it makes them money. The way you solve the problem is to remove the financial incentive to traffic people.

The number of women willing to do porn voluntarily is staggeringly high. Like you wouldn’t even believe.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

What would you do if you were lost at sea in the Florida Keys?
