    B/c they can't walk their talk. They'll tell us to 'check our western privilege' when they do NOT like what we're saying but then they go and pull this ****. "My body, my choice" UNLESS that body is Chinese or Indian. Those people just aren't white enough apparently. Yeah, they've got their "But it's just happening to baby girls!" shpiel but it shouldn't matter b/c there's supposedly nothing wrong with abortion. Right? I mean, that's what they've been telling us for decades while tens of millions of western "parasites/ just tissue/ fetuses" have been 'aborted'. Now there's suddenly a problem? F' that!

    Maybe because when it happened it China back in the day, it was prejudicial abortion- people didn't want female children. If people in the west just started only aborting green-eyed children, I'd be totally against that, too. The selective abortion in the USA (where I live) doesn't really happen like that- everyone has a different reason for abortion, so it's a little more even-handed, if that makes sense.

    China is selectively aborting females. Western feminists want to selectively abort males. That's the difference.

    One is a state enforced thing, the other is personal choice and exercised by very few people and usually only for reasons of genetic risk.
