If it had been it's own thread (Which really, it should have been) or someone had gone "wait a minute, WHAT?!" and the conversation had turned to the asylums I probably would have remembered, but it's really no surprise I forgot about that.
Why should anyone have made a thread? It's not like it was new information and when compared to what women go through in other parts of the world it isn't even surprising. Also do you always shrug off learning of human rights violations if it isn't presented in just the right way? Or just the ones that you could never see happening to you?

Oh and if it was something you had just then found out about why didn't you go wait a minute, WHAT?
