Another flaw is his willingness to entirely attribute Lola's abuse to another culture: this doesn't happen in America.

Yet another flaw is that he misses the connection between feminine familial relations, feminized labor, and exploitation.

I've met a few older immigrant women who don't drive and depend on their husbands. (I don't drive long story but I get around on transit.)
