Saying something is 'self-correcting' is not the same as saying that the correction is something that you are going to like.

Western culture as it stands today, promotes individualism driven by capitalism and ignores the collective, others promote family values and builds support networks to sustain it.
No one in Israel is beating women.
But of course they are. Women are beaten everywhere.
There's certainly nothing special about Israel in this regard.
One could just as easily say “women kill their young children in every country”, because some mentally ill women sometimes do so. That’s not the same as societal acceptance of the practice.
Or we could generalize any negative behavior to any group that has members that do that behavior, which would obviously be an incorrect generalization.
I just find the choice of phrasing -- "No one in Israel is beating women" -- to be weirdly idealizing.
