Say that to a progressive man living in Afghanistan.
I'll say that to any man or to any rodent that needs to hear it.
Putting yourself in another person's place and using that as the measure of how people should act is not a question of society, culture or religion.
It's basic human decency and human rights, and the cornerstone of many a religion, if you're so inclined.
I'm not saying that this Afghan man needs to march outside this very instant with posters and protest for women's rights, that would accomplish nothing other than getting shot.
What I'm saying is that every one of us needs to reflect on how we treat others - and it doesn't matter who, men, women, white, black, anything - and if we wouldn't want to be treated in the same way, then we need to change what we're doing.
If you don't understand this, you're scum and I don't want you anywhere near me or my loved ones.
