US named one of the top ten 'most dangerous countries for women' (So, why are women still coming?)
American Thinker ^ | 06/27/2018 | Rick Moran

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.

This makes sense. As the mudslime population grows it will get worse.

Here is the results - if CBS would have looked, the “data” doesn’t particularly support their Thesis.

Oh, I was kicked off years ago!

One of the things I find funny: left-wing comments occur all week long. Conservatives come on only during the weekends. Tells you something about the employment situation of those pajama boys!

Total BS of course. This is the same garbage that is spewed when the left says one in four women in college gets raped or sexually assaulted. The fact that the rape epidemic in Europe, especially in England, is covered up is rather sick. This is why Tommy Robinson is in jail.

No it isn’t, and if you want to reduce it, you close the borders because that’s where the human trafficking is coming from.

Out of 183 countries listed in a Wikipedia article on average life spans, US women rank 31st in the world (81.6 years). American women's life span is within 3 years of the 7th ranked country. On the other hand, American women live 5 or more years longer than women from 121 countries.

The\is new study is complete drivel, probably just another attempt to demonize "Trump's America."

The humanitarian thing for President Trump to do would be to deport all illegal women back to their home countries - for their own safety.
