Here are two posts I saw on reddit from women complaining about men’s behavior and thousands of women agreeing.

In reality these men were just transparent and direct.

the only difference between these guys and the guys that end up sleeping with these girls and probably end up in a relationship is they don’t know how to manipulate her emotions in a strategic way to make her want to accept their advances.

It is all about context, vibes and energy. 

Probably he was a nice guy from start then out of nowhere sexting the hell out of it. 

If you want to be direct, do it on the first 5 minutes. Tell your agenda immediately and see what happens.

@Raze that’s actually a crazy stat, it’s double nyc! The only way I can understand that is that Boise is a small city with a big state university and there are frat rapes there thus skewing the average. Just my guess tho

expanded under Kathy hochuls “rape is rape” bill.

In India, rape means 5 homeless hooligans gang rape you at knife-point for 3 hours until you are barely alive. In NY, rape means you had sex with a guy while drunk and regretted it the next day.

There's 1st world rape and then there's 3rd world rape.

You guys underestimate transhumanism. AI is just the tip of the iceberg.

We are literally going to become Gods.

A.I. being just the tip of an iceberg is a bit of a stretch lol it pretty much is the entire iceberg. Without A.I. we probably aint getting shit, and probably will live out just a regular life. All of these inventions assume a helpfull, pro-human/pro life A.I. which will be helping us with everything including our research. Or at least that A.I. not being against us. Then it's GG for us most likely

Ai will help to spread technologies. Actually, there are several experiments/startups working on that (before AI hype).

US has a relatively healthy police to population ratio of 300 and above, and so the law enforcement there is more effective. 

However I have also seen reports of thousands of native american women raped and murdered by non-natives which has become a major issue over there in native nations.  I would say lack of proper policing in those regions maybe the issue. 

I have also stated how India not being a part of global wars have spared it from major human rights violations on a mass scale. 

The European nazis who committed the slav genocide under the influence of drugs raped and murdered millions of slav women,  and this lead to heavy soviet retribution when they invaded austria and Germany. 

The Americans,  French and Dutch similarly perpetrated atrocities on women in Vietnam,  Algeria and Indonesia  as war crimes, which are well documented. 

India has not had these kind of issues but our challenge at present is to develop our policing and judicial resources to standard levels to ensure optimal law and order.

False. In New York City 6% of rapes are gang rapes. In India local reporting finds gang rapes are 7% of rapes.

@Leo Gura you mentioned "Masculine & feminine gender roles" as good aspects of conservatism. Could you elaborate on this?

Is it because of the differences in biology: males and females (sex) are already prone to masculine and feminine gener roles (gender) and are therefore happier/more functional just embracing them? (e.g. males providing and females caring about children)

You probably have to consider underreporting of rape, also. While it is a global issue and estimated at 70% + cases are not reported, there are a few reasons to think it might be worse in India.

The barriers to entry for reporting are higher due to socio economic/development issues. Stronger stigma around sexuality, family/community pressure, legal gaps (marital rape historically not criminalised) and lower trust in institutions are some reasons. I think the stats even say some regions have ZERO rape - which strongly indicates underreporting (not an absence of crime).

It's not definitively measurable sure. But likely? Yes.

Correct, but there is also survey data. Granted you can also suggest that they are more likely to underreport even in surveys because of lack of understanding. 

But even if there is significant under reporting it still is in the ballpark of other countries like the US, which likely also has similar issues even if at a lower rate.

Leo's taking back conservatism.

Funny enough, there are quite a few conseratives in my life who exhibit the good qualities of conservatism a little more than the bad ones.

What would a true liberal be?

A true liberal is just a true conservative, they are the same thing at higher levels?
