India? Your lack of perspective regarding misogyny is breathtaking. Since you're from India, let's see if any of the following sound familiar:
- gang rapes
- acid attacks
- young women considered a financial burden due to practice of dowry
- bride burning (a means to settle a dowry grievance)
- manual scavenging
- literacy rates: men - 64%, women - 39%
- stigma for birthing females
- prevalence for female fetus abortion. Last 50 years, female births per 1000 male births has dropped from 976 to 914. There are 7 million fewer females under the age of 6 than males.
And you have the audacity to stroll into these forums pretending to not understand the source of misogyny in your culture with the added charge that atheism displays cult like misogynistic behavior because of facebook posts and isolated examples of individual unscrupulous non-criminal behavior?
Oblivious dolt. Go fuck yourself!
