Let's not get too holier than thou over this. American culture isn't exactly perfect in regards to respect towards women either.
American culture mistreats men much more than it does women. This country caters to women while treating men as the disposable sex.
No comparison. The muslims don't even try.
America is the light of the world in treatment of women and has been since its inception. Only the Scandinavian countries can boast of a similarly strong record. Your assertion is rubbish.
Well, MP Hirsi Ali in this story, seems to prefer our western culture. Probably because it doesn't make one fear for their life, or female parts.
