Story here. Excerpt:

'HOUSTON - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has told a Planned Parenthood convention that reproductive rights, as well as women's rights and empowerment, are key issues in President Barack Obama's foreign policy.

Clinton vowed her support for these issues during a speech Friday evening at the Planned Parenthood's national conference in Houston.
...
Secretary Clinton started her day in Washington, where she and the President announced the administration’s new direction in Afghanistan. One priority, she said, is ensuring the expansion of women’s rights there.'

This is the same woman who blamed violent Mexican drug cartels on American's 'insatiable' need for drugs.

Not a peep about protecting boys from conscription by the Taliban. Feminists never mention the Third World-wide conscription of young boys as soldiers, only that girls are not being taught to read.

That's because some people are so incapable of logic, they believe that being born male is a natural shield against any form of oppression; as if having external genitalia is some sort of cure-all for any problem you may face in life. Obviously, it doesn't work like that. In fact, it tends to make life more difficult, if anything, as many people share this ridiculous mentality.
