Wow. That interview.I'm not trying to stoke the fire here, but I think that's a risky way to roll.
It implies that any women, or indeed ALL women regardless of circumstance, are better equipped to understand the psychological, emotional, or physical effects of physical or sexual abuse against women than ANY man. Is this a fair statement?
So could we extrapolate that to say "my sister has a deeper understanding of how rape affects women than, say, a leading male psychologist working for the WHO and therefore can/should reject all of his opinions on the matter?" That statement would be invalid, I can assure you.
Gender, race, religion, or creed doesn't supersede knowledge, in my view.
This invites such thinking as "a Christian, all Christians, are better versed in the matters of the history of Jesus Christ than ANY non-Christian" which, again, is invalid.
Just wow.
