"Besides how do you practically assess someone's values? And what standard do you apply them to?"

Simple. Start by asking yourself what basic values Canadians hold that are so taken-for-granted we don't even think of them as such, until we realise other societies do not agree. Something at least 95% of Canadians would agree with, that is in no way controversial, by which we have been conducting our lives for centuries, etc.

One of those is the assumption that women will be welcome, even encouraged, to participate in social life, and in public space. Simple, yet controversial in some parts of the world.

It is the refusal of that simple value that leads to all the other ills we see that flow from it: hiding women's faces so they cannot be "seen" in public, keeping them at home isolated from wider society and under the domination of male relatives, forbidden to drive, or leave the house without permission from a male relative, gender segregation, honour killings, etc.
