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.

BS.
ANY muzzie country.
Women who were thrown down wells as children in Commie China were not polled.
Total garbage. First you could put every African hell hole country in there. Followed by every Islamic dung hill. Lol. Joke.
Which is why I loathe subjective studies, including favourability ratings.

Maybe, maybe not. I want to see statistics before I form an opinion.
The article says this list was put together by “EXPERTS”. That ought to tell you something.
Yes, they are all so downtrodden. When all they have to worry about is the latest phone, fashions, wine & movie stars it’s rough out there.
I agree. Events (aggregated) are data. Opinions are not data.
Oh, BS
These rankings weight things in absurd manners bash the USA.
Every country south of the USA is worse, as is all of Africa, most of Asia, and certainly the ME and probably most of the former Soviet countries.
“I guess they polled the Democrat women that hate America.”
Democratic women who live in democrat controlled cities? Those places wre equally dangerous for men.
Another of seemingly endless reasons why the US should have nothing to do with the UN.

I think we could all name about 100 more countries that are more dangerous for women than the United States. As you say, list most of the South and Central American countries, countries in the Caribbean, the rest of the Middle East (except Israel), and the rest of the African countries.
Its dangerous for women in the USA because of uncontrolled immigration at the southern border.
This is completely laughable has any country with higher than a 10% Muslim population were obviously completely suppress women on a scale of its unimaginable heere
that being said Democrats Here in America any elected politician is a grade and under threat to all women everywhere younger older anywhere in between Ill sell all of the Hollywood liberals are also a grave and total direct to women everywhere finally we have the news media who are aGrandpa and I are in total and complete a threat to women everywhere
If true this is a testament to the failure of Progressive liberal attitudes toward women we’ve lived with for 50 years...
Leftists condemn modern, Western countries but they profess to love backwards Islamist societies.
I’m really getting very tired of this Bull Crap!! The United states is the safest county in the world, my friends. Stop putting it down!!
