Nations that subjugate women tend to be more unstable and violent. Here's why.

Bride price makes chicks property to be bought and sold, and they might as well be a piece of furniture. Also, when that happens, the poor can't find wives (Really bad in China.), and single men tend to have more of a 'nothing to lose' 'tude, and will not think of consequences due to the 'will I be alive tomorrow' view. I WANT IT YESTERDAY, AND I'M GONNA TAKE IT!

There's more in the video. How paradoxical, and there's no fixing stupid except by severe trauma it seems. . .some times.

Then again, this isn't always the case. Maggie Thatcher? Hilary Clinton? And if you socialise chicks on stupid faery tales like Snow White, Cinderella and stuff like that, you may get a slew of hypergamous bimbos with ridiculous standards (and limited accountability).

Maybe if we trained everyone to take care of themselves first, and be as little of an inconvenience to others as possible, instead of having half the population dreaming of a rescuer?
