7. I picked it because it manages to be a lot of different types of hate at once.

First we have the hatred of women in the first world. But we also have a distinct attempt to argue that women outside of the first world are either too busy fighting death at every turn or too stupid to possess meaningful intellectual thought or emotional investment. Which carries the quality of a racial or ethnic slur.

It's the entire package. I read it for the first time and literally threw my hands up in the air and just asked my room exactly how the fuck one is supposed to respond to such a willful display of ignorance.
