I agree that BD#1 is beautiful and smart. But in this scenario you got the lazy answer. You can do something about it. It sounds like you are having trouble with female rights, and you can volunteer to write letters and get backed behind the attorneys in other countries trying to change the judicial systems there. You can donate to the non-profits working on female rights and advocacy. It is more painful to not act when you know something is wrong than take a stance that just leaves you as a witness. National Organization for Women has a website that addresses these issues amongst many other issues, and how you can help the people on the front lines fighting for humanitarian and women's issues. If you have these items on your mind please do something about it. There are things you can do, and the attitude of "you can do nothing so don't worry about it" is actually a misnomer. If you care that much you are a more than adequate volunteer to help. They need people to write letters, etc...
