Study: U.S. Makes List of Top Ten Most Dangerous Countries for Women

A study is circulating that purports to make the United States out as the tenth most dangerous country for women to live. Tenth, ahead of countries like China, Iran, and Iraq. The Thomson Reuters Foundation performed the study and it has caught the eye of progressives and media alike, particularly on social media.
Here's the top ten list:
  1. India
  2. Afghanistan
  3. Syria
  4. Somalia
  5. Saudi Arabia
  6. Pakistan
  7. Democratic Republic of Congo
  8. Yemen
  9. Nigeria
  10. USA
As if the talking points aren’t bad enough, a closer look shows the "study" isn’t based on any empirical data of any kind, but, rather, was biased and skewed from the start — or at the least, hardly scientific. First, the Foundation admits it conducted a “global perception poll of experts” and they did this by contacting “548 experts focusing on women’s issues, aid and developmental professionals, academics, health workers, policymakers, non-government organization workers, journalists and social commentators.” These “experts” gave their “perception” about six key areas: healthcare, discrimination, cultural traditions, sexual violence, non-sexual violence, and human trafficking.

Can we just stop looking at this situation as a political issue and look at this as a humane issue. This is NOT a political issue, it is a fact. The United States from the beginning of it's history from slavery until today have always treated women unequal to men.

Oh come on now. It's not like we bind women's feet or have forced abortions due to single child household laws. Wait, no Asian countries on this list? Russia? Are they known as a bastion of women's rights?
