about 3.8 million assaults.
Women and girls ages 12 and up annually reported about 500,000 rapes and sexual assaults
...almost 500,000 robberies...
Of the 5328 women murdered in 1990, FBI data indicate that about half or more of them by a husband or boyfriend.
During the last decade, domestic violence has been identified as one of the major causes of emergency room visits by women.
From 20% to 30% of the women who are seen by emergency room physicians exhibit at least one or more symptoms of physical abuse.
10% of the victims were pregnant at the time of abuse.
10% reported that their children had also been abused by the batterer.
*Women aged 19 to 29 and women in families with incomes below $10,000 were more likely than other women to be victims of violence by an intimate.

So you're saying that a bunch of crimes comitted by individuals somehow makes the entire Republic of the United States hypocritical.
If it was the US government comitting those crimes you might have a case. If the government looked the other way and didn't prosecute those crimes, you might have a case.
The US keeps track of these statistics because they pursue and prosecute the offenders of all of those crimes.
This thread= EPIC FAIL!!!

You do know that women only make up about 5% of the workforce in Saudi Arabia, and that women are not allowed to drive cars there.
Live the life of an average Saudi Arabian women for a year, nah make that a month and i'll bet you would be crying to go home.

Are you kidding me, someone else driving for me, and not working.. Ohh god, that is my freaken dream.
I feel sorry for you.
Are you 'that' stupid and naive or are you just pretending to be?
Do you really think that Saudi Arabian women have it better than western women? They are treated like glorified slaves by most the of men there.
Ummm yeah maybe you should book a oneway ticket, remember to bring your suntan lotion, skimpy outfits and make-up, im sure you will just love it send me a postcard.

LOL! I am well aware of womens rights for instance,
In Islam the woman are subject to honour killings, rapes, forced marriage, movements are restricted and pretty much treated as second class citizens.
In China, there are no human rights for anyone who can't pay for them despite what the business men say.
In africa, rape as punishment for percieved crime, witch-burning and genital mutulation.
In the west these actions are not permitted, the perps would be hunted down like the dogs they are. Everywhere else the law does not really guarantee Woman's rights......
