"Men only care about women's rights if they get to see tits."
Some here really want to say:
"Men in the West are pigs that are happy to criticize sexism in other countries without being willing to recognize it in their own culture."
Some here want to say:
"Patriarchy and Imperialism are two sides of the same coin!"
Some are using issues to create strawmen to fight their own proxy wars.
That is what gives this a personal grudge feel to it. It is the lack of honesty. And yes, REASONABLE people would agree that there are many Islamic sub-cultutres where women's rights are trodden and REASONABLE people would agree that other women around the world have the right to make an issue out of it (even by flashing for attention).
