“Tell me about the process of moving to the UK”, I asked my friend from Uzbekistan. What do you think she replied? Individualism, anonymity, the rarity of paying bribes, or some difficulties in adjustment? A man might say something like that. But women from patriarchal countries always give me the exact same answer:
So I am Optimistic about China becoming more liberal soon with higher growth.
But I have a question, I also read your post about how South Korea and Japan have “life time jobs” which sustains patriarchy, is that similar for China?
Also do you think india has any chance in the near future for having a labor intensive growth which can increase female labor force participation rate and formal employment which would reduce casteism and sexism? Also I loved your post about patrilineal trap, which blackpilled me into thinking of emigrating india 💀
Also, Toronto sounds fun, I am originally from india and I am going to be moving to Toronto to study Bachelor’s in economics maybe a year or 2 from now... Canada sounds a very egalitarian country... anyways, have a great day.
Great to at you’re in Toronto. If you haven’t had a chance to do so yet, it might be interesting for you to spend some time in areas outside of Toronto, like Brampton for example, where there are large communities of people who have migrated from parts of South Asia over the past 40 years, including from the Punjab, Haryana, to see if young women in these communities live under a different set of norms than those that prevail in downtown Toronto.
I’m confused. The premise here is that feminism made cities more safe. But on which measures are American cities safer than in the 1950s? Yes, Toronto is safe, but American cities are by any measure more violent than before.
Yes, the US has guns and crime. But the US isn't the main subject. This piece begins with the observations of an Uzbek woman who went to the UK. It discusses sexual assault in Fleet Street, and asks how that changed. It charts the evolution of feminist activism in Belgium, Canada and Sweden.
I think the premise is that feminism made cities more safe for women walking alone without male company; then the comparison should be made specifically for that subcategory.
As an American woman in her 40s I honestly have only ever felt unsafe walking alone maybe once or twice in my life. To be fair I’ve never lived in a really big city.
So the other day I read a study about majority residents being more liberal in China: https://www.csis.org/analysis/public-opinion-china-liberal-silent-majority
And also how higher per capita income regions in China have less discrimination against LGBTQ+ Communities: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-020-08834-y
