Nine of the 10 countries on the list were from Asia, the Middle East or Africa. At number 10 was the United States, the only Western country to be included.

I, for one, am ::shocked::.

My knee jerk reaction to this was, "Surely we can't be number 10. There are so many atrocities perpetrated against women every day all over the world."

I have to push back on this a little bit just to broaden the accusations, not to whatabout it. I'm not in any way suggesting that America is a super great and safe place for women. It's abundantly clear that that is not the case.
However my concern is that some other countries are skating by as being "okay-ish" for women because the culture isn't welcoming to reporters of sexual assault and harassment. I mean we were very much in that place until a few months ago and STILL, arguably, are very much in that place.

So I guess my point is that the US has a long way to go on this and I suspect there are drowned out voices elsewhere in the world, and all of those voices deserve to be heard.
