But even then, go just one step further into a position of power. If you have limited time and resources (you do), are you going to fight every case of injustice against women, or the ones nearest to your family and friends, where you can concentrate all your time and resources?
That's what the earlier post was about. Don't we typically fight the fights we can win, and don't we think that someone spreading themselves too think is a pretty bad move?

Well i gave the example of her saying she could understand why muslim women arent allowed to drive in saudi arabia because its dangerous to drive wearing burkas.She said this on an interview when the subject came up now she is ethier stupid which i doubt or is avoiding the subject which i think kind of contradicts what shes been about her whole life.
But this isnt about her im really talking about those who have taken up the opinion that of all cultures are equal but and it contradicting another belief that is universal in nature i mean if your a cultural relvitist you can use that to bypass this contradiction but im not and i dont really believe anyone is really.
As for the second point yes you can spread yourself too thin but there is also a question of scale it kinda reminds me of standing next someone collecting for cancer research and asking people for money to by myself some cough medicine.
