Pop psychology aside, one of the undercurrents as to why developing countries have a host of problems with regard to food security, monetary resources, education, health & safety, etc., is related to the various rights and privileges denied to women and girls.
And Plan9, this is all relevant, as the focus of the thread is how we regard and treat women as separate and distinct for their status as being women. This treatment can be viewed as good (and sometimes problematic); and as we know, this treatment can be as bad as dehumanizing.

It would be that simple if human rights issues weren't such a disproportionate concern for women and girls.
