As an Indian woman I've had more horrible things happen to me on the NYC subway and the streets of San Francisco than anywhere in India. When there was even a sign of misbehavior on public transit in my hometown, men stood up for the woman and ensured she was safe. When worse things happened to me on the NYC subway and I fought off my groper, no one there did anything to help other than to tell me I should probably not kick the man like I was (this was in 2012).
Look at statistics of SA in India vs the US. Indian rates are minuscule. You can say there is underreporting but an analysis of registered rape cases in Delhi showed only 1% were genuine https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38796457
India has had female heads of government and heads of state for decades already and America still struggles with the very idea of a woman in power. India's current president is a woman from a very backward tribe, and any and all discourse about her has been of respect. Contrast this with Americans photoshopping Sarah Palin's face onto porn, or calling Hillary Clinton a shrew, or saying that kamala harris slept her way up. Heck, even when Bill Clinton was proved to be exploiting his intern, she was publicly vilified and mocked while he is still highly respected.
Your words are rooted in ignorance and fear of acknowledging the misogyny you live in.
Again I cannot argue with your personal experience here or in India, but what I do know is that my sister was told a few years ago not to go to India on business because it was not safe for her since she would be traveling alone by people she works with who are Indian. So that is my personal experience which is just as valid as yours.
And yes, India does have a rape problem. Why you wouldn’t admit it I don’t know. I also don’t care. That is your problem, not mine. It is consistently listed as a country with this issue by international groups.
I am not a misogynist, being female, and I am not ignorant, because I base my opinions on facts. And the documentary i pointed out is quite specific about India and its cultural preference for sons, and the pew research from 2022 proves that nothing has changed since the documentary has been made.
But since you devolved into name calling I am done with this discussion. By name calling you only prove I am wasting my time.
