"I see a crime problem where you see a women's rights problem." Having had this discussion many, many times in my past, I can say with confidence that this is the single best summary I can think of. The advice is good and necessary but rejected because it is viewed as anti-women's-rights. And were we not discussing crime (something which, in itself, is about the breakdown of the social construct of rights), there might be a point to the protest on behalf of feminism, but as it stands now... there just isn't. The outrage is understandable but dangerous, especially when it allows one to eschew due caution on principle.
