Oh, good. They're finally getting back to the levels of freedom they had before we went and brought freedom to them.

And look, their pay gap is less than ours! (83 cents on the dollar. If I did the math right, that is. I'm just a girl).

This is kind of cool. I'm not too sure if it was Marx or Engels that kind of said it first (and at this point in my degree, I no longer care), but isn't the position of women within a society a good yardstick by which to measure that society's 'civilisation' or whatever? Well, I sure fucked that reference up, but this is a nice thing to hear about, nonetheless.
