US named one of the top ten 'most dangerous countries for women' (So, why are women still coming?)

A study released by the Thomson Reuters Foundation reveals that, for the first time, the United States has been named one of the top ten most dangerous countries for women.

The mirth is entirely unintentional, even though it's hard to believe that someone isn't pulling the leg of the international community.

The study asked 550 "women's experts" which countries are the "most dangerous for women and which country was worst in terms of health care, economic resources, cultural or traditional practices, sexual violence and harassment, non-sexual violence and human trafficking,"

Leading the list is India, with its rape gangs and a culture that degrades women.  Not far behind in the top 10 are Afghanistan and Syria.

CBSNews:

The foundation said the U.S. placement on the dubious list was down largely to the #MeToo and Time's Up campaigns increasing awareness of sexual violence and intimidation of women in the U.S. in the wake of the criminal allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

"People want to think income means you're protected from misogyny, and sadly that's not the case," Cindy Southworth, of the Washington-based National Network to End Domestic Violence, told the foundation.  "We are going to look back and see this as a very powerful tipping point[.] ... We're blowing the lid off and saying '#Metoo and Time's Up'."

Do we really want this woman and others who think like her defining "sexual harassment" for the rest of us?  That alone makes the list laughable.

6. Pakistan

7. Democratic Republic of Congo

8. Yemen

9. Nigeria

10. United States

10!!!!???? Hell, this whack job isn’t even trying to fake this. He’s phoning it in. If he was a real good liberal, he’d prove that we are number one.

The US is indeed a dangerous place for women.

Over 325,000 are murdered here each year.

I wonder why The Guardian refused to allow comments on this one, lol!

That probably explains why women in the United States outlive their male counterparts by an average of eight years. < / sarcasm >

What subversive bull sh*t. Then GTFO of the country if it’s so “dangerous”. Reuters...this is a surprise?

[SeekAndFind]

Those are “potential women”, not women /s

[RainMan]

This is what happens when “experts” provide subjective qualitative opinions versus actual quantitative data. Had they developed a scoring system that defined what constituted a danger to women, then scored each country on each metric, they would have actually created something that had value.

The politically incorrect but fundamental truth is that despite real racism, black and brown peoples wish to live among whites because they know their lives will be better. The migrations will not cease.

This list will be VERY helpful for women looking for a destination country when they FLEE THE DANGEROUS UNITED STATES— PERHAPS VENEZUELA (which, because of its safety, is not on the list).

I wonder why The Guardian refused to allow comments on this one, lol!

Until recently I was a regular poster on The Guardian.I was "BillFromBoston" and I was about as popular as a skunk at a picnic.Although I was always polite and subdued there (far more so than I am here) I was suspended many times for various time spans and then was finally suspended permanently for observing in a post that there are only two genders.

I,too,often noticed that certain pieces that were perfect for a comment section didn't have one.it's not difficult to figure out what their aim is in setting up comment sections for certain articles.

Men in Mexico, Haiti, South America, large areas of France,Sweden, UK, etc, said; “their women were just fine but unavailable for comment”.

Bogus.

Pretty much every one of those above the US don’t allow women to set foot outside their front door without a male relative escort. And lets not even get into the child marriages and rapes. Let a girl dare attend school and see what happens. Oh so enlightened Saudi Arabia is #5 and they are just now allowing women to drive. Of course, that doesn’t mean women drivers won’t be dragged out of their cars and beaten to death.

The study asked 550 "women's experts" which countries are the "most dangerous for women and which country was worst in terms of health care, economic resources, cultural or traditional practices, sexual violence and harassment, non-sexual violence and human trafficking,"

Hmmm. Let's see how the USA does:

• health care: Great, people come here for our great care. A+
• Economic resources: Richest country in the history of the world, thriving middle class, freebies galore for poor folk. A+
• Cultural or traditional practices: Christianity is forbidden in public, islam is the darling of the elites and they are bad. They are the fly in the ointment that takes this from A+ to A.
• Sexual violence: Perusing the headlines of Sweden, we're doing really well. Their problem is islam, of course (see above). A+
• Sexual harassment: feminists have defined this as being in the same room as a women without her prior videotaped testimony that she consents to your presences as long as you avert your eyes and are properly deferential. Most men are now complying rather than lose everything in their lives. And compared to Italy or Latin America, well .... A+
• Human trafficking: This is a problem but the President is trying to close the border so the traffickers stop coming in with their cargo. Because they lefties are fighting so effectively against that, gotta give this just a B.

I'd say if this is one of the top 10 most dangerous countries then women are living in the golden age where they are free from every care all around the globe.
