One problem with the cultural argument is that it is often used to defend or excuse the behavior of the powerful against the weak. Taliban men no doubt believe that the subjugation of women is a cultural privilege, as well as a religious duty.
文化争论的一大问题是，它经常被用来替强者欺凌弱者辩护或寻找借口。毫无疑问，塔利班男性认为压迫女性是一种文化特权，也是一种宗教责任。亚洲独裁者通常也总是宣称，他们的国家不适合民主文化。
