George is not “right on". He is wrong off.

The women in his home city who fear for their lives are not the women whom you had lunch with. George is not responding to your article. He is responding to a different conversation, taking place somewhere else that he hasn’t linked us to.

Do not justify your lunch companions toxic disrespect of their own husbands as some kind of rational response to crime in George’s mystery home city. Because that’s the same complicit behavior you questioned in your original article.
