I read posts like this and I despair that equality is ever attainable. The expectation on all parties side that you are obliged to participate in a violent crime because the feelings of a woman for whom you consider yourself responsible were hurt.

The first step in equality is the realization that you're no more responsible for your sister than you are for your brother, and that the wellbeing of all is equally important.

Don't get me wrong, I get what you're saying because I'd have a similar reaction. But that instinctive reaction is inherently based on the idea that this is a personal insult to me, and that I have to protect my stuff. Equality must assume that she's a grownup, capable of conducting her own business, and that my involvement is that of a confidante.
