These judgements can be skipped to make your point, which was a good one - specifics are more useful than generalizations.

These are ancient issues. And being honest won't make much of dent, without understanding the history and sociology of them. Its like Snowden saying here is the truth. Didn't change anything, cause there are deeper issues at play.

Good point. Persecution complexes can happen to both men and women but it seems 'easier' to tell it to men, and that's an unfair bias which disadvantages the women who suffer from it. To overcome this bias, people must feel secure in telling women when their complaints about persecution aren't reasonable. This seems like a tall order though.
