      I don’t see how the third one is either.

      Stopping FGM would be upholding western standard for example.

        “Western Civilization” doesn’t mean anything or rather it means whatever the listener wants it to mean. It’s a whistle word used by propagandists. Whenever someone is telling you “the other” is threatening “you way of life”, demand evidence. Sometimes it could be Nazis wanting to cart you off to detention centers, but most of the time it’s a made up caravan from Mexico.
