    I’m earnestly asking any Indian folks why I’ve seen too many articles like this coming out of India. Why is it so unsafe for women in that country? Sexism? Regressive beliefs around sex?

      Whatever country you are from, think about the most backwards/rural/remote location that has people with backwards and regressive views.

      Consider that India likely has 5 to 10x the population of rural folks in small villages that have midevil views compared to your country.

      Add in long standing cultural misogynist views that is so pervasive it fully permeates all aspects of government and life and you quickly get to a point where abuse and domestic violence is tolerated.

      As per usual, it’s not like the entire country shares these views. It’s just the the number of backwards views in India is numerically huge because of its population.

      Honestly, I don’t know. But then again I never felt like I belong here for as long as I can remember.

      Places like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan are so regressive that other Indians collectively call them BIMARU (sick or unwell).
