Big Think ^ | 7/25/2019 | FRANK JACOBS

The worst countries in the world to be a woman? Places torn apart by war, or societies stifled by centuries of male patriarchy, a recent survey by the Thomson Reuters Foundation shows. So which category does the United States fall into? Because the US made 10th place – the only western country on the list.

Conducted online, by phone and in person between March 26th and May 4th, the survey polled 548 experts on women's issues spread evenly across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. Those surveyed included academics and policymakers, healthcare staff and ngo workers, aid and development professionals and social commentators.

Rather than using actual statistics of real "nonsafety," like death and stuff.

Garbage.

Please alert all the women at the southern border to turn back and go back home where it’s safer.

Any European country with a sizable Muslim (rapist) population is more dangerous than the USA.

And that’s a fact!

Especially American women who have to share the ladies room with mentally ill men who want to play dress-up.

Yes,this IS utter garbage and then some!

What about Denmark, Sweden, the UK, and France? The women there are in far more danger from the Muslim gangs, than American women are.

I agree. Look at real facts, statistics, not at the opinions of “experts.”

I’d rather live here in the US than any country on Earth. Is every place here safe? Of course not. There are places not safe for women- they are also not safe for men, or children.

Wow, South America is a very safe place for women. This must be why women the world over are flocking, FLOCKING to Guatemala. Turn them back for their own benefit.

Except in parts of Minnesota, clitorectomies are illegal in America.

...and just like with gun violence, if you take out the Amish and Mennonites we’re the safest.

In the interest of protecting her, we need to send Ill-hand back to the sanctuary of Somalia. It’s our duty.

Ladies, don't leave all those kids here. It's no safer for them than it is for you! Take 'em home with you!!
