But, for example, in Belize, where I spent a year, the men
do virtually no work, own all the land, and the women own nothing.
This is not unusual in the world (and I mean that the men sit in 
taverns all day and talk while the women work in the fields, the home 
and raise the children.)

To say "we're better at it", etc. is to really trivialize a major 
global problem.

that's great that you're the exception to the rule. Nice for you.
but doesn't help most of the women on the globe.
