I’m increasingly tired of this myth that we must treat all cultures equally and agree with your point.

Sure - if we’re talking about Finland vs Iceland or something like that where people are 95% on the same page. But other cultures have the abusive practices you mention above - and worse. China used to have foot-binding. FGM is pretty common in Africa right now (no jokes about that in the latest Black Panther though).

A position of radical tolerance is tactically convenient when the view that you hold is unpopular; Moral Majority crusading is convenient when it's popular.
