Summary: 

Don't for a *minute* think that this question concerns justification of
slavery.  It is instead a question that the SA debate has brought up in
my mind.

Say you had two countries, and within those countries some identifiable
groups (women/men, white/black).  What if:

In country A, men and women both make an average of $5,000 per year.

In country B, men make an average of $30,000 per year and women an average
of $10,000 per year.

While there are lots of other factors to consider, the question is:

    Which country treats women better?
