Usually some global figure is used with this argument. This is in fact a useless figure, because no value could justify changing the rules in one country based on women's disadvantage in another. Introducing a greater level of affirmative action in Australia is unlikely to improve life for an impoverished women in Turkmenistan. The fact that group A are bad to group B does not justify forcing group C to give subsidies to group D.

This is an example of feminists trying to take advantage of the misfortunes of others.

Sometimes figures are quoted for Australia. They are rubbish, along with the figures which say that there are more homeless women than men, there are more alcoholics than men and so on.
