That was AWESOME! Thank you. I especially enjoyed your reference to “predetermined power imbalances.” When being a Mail Order Bride is an objective improvement over a woman’s born-into-situation, we are talking about TRULY DEPLORABLE conditions of human rights and misogyny. I also appreciated that last quotation from Sheila Jeffreys– separating the women who choose to be Mail Order Brides from the situation giving rise TO that decision is not rocket science (except for conservatives, I guess). Anyways, thanks again!
thanks, undercover punk
