    According to data from the National Crime Records Bureau, UP recorded over 56,000 cases of crimes against women in 2021 - the most of any state. This includes, rape, rape and murder, and acid attacks.

    What an unbearable shithole.

    I’m convinced UP is the Florida of India. Whenever you hear something crazy out of there, odds are it was Uttar Pradeshman.

      I want to agree but I feel like it might be mostly:

      • Florida makes its crime data much more accessible than most US states
      • UP, if it were an independent country, would be one of the most populous countries in the world

      UP might be the America of the world instead of the Florida of America. Idk tho.

          But… Do people actually move there because it’s so… “rapey”? That does sound too cynical, even for my cynical ass.

            Less because of that PRECISELY, and more likely because the culture of machismo (which is sort of what allows this to happen) is much more pervasive there.

              It’s so sad… But machismo alone can’t be the reason. You need some very psychopathic (i know the term is outdated) tendencies to even consider rape. Humans are garbage 😔

                No, you actually don’t, not if you don’t consider it rape. That’s the machismo bit - to these people, they’re simply “taking” what they’re “owed”. It’s why rape is so prevalent in fundamentalist religious communities here in the US - if your religion or your culture tells you that women exist solely to be subservient to men in every way, then it’s not rape to have sex with them even against their will (by that logic), because they’re made to serve men, whenever, wherever.

                  Sure, you’re right. But yet, a woman screaming or begging “no” should still trigger something in them. As those “creatures” are the same “thing” as their beloved mothers. How could one seriously not see any connection there unless psychopathic? How can religous delusion make the mother holy and all other women unhuman toythings?

                  Then again… Religious nutjobs are already experts in mental gymnastics. Maybe i should just retract my question and just continue being misanthropic. Ugh.

                  I don’t really care for the religion but in Hinduism they treat girls like literal goddesses to the point that almost feels sexist towards boys. Girls get free money during ‘raksha bandhan’ which is like a yearly bodyguard contract between a brother and a sister where the brother pledges to protect the sister and also pays her for the privilege of protecting her. And also in multiple other festivals they get money or get prayed to as a goddess effigy of sorts. Source: i was born into the religion unfortunately, and at no time I was taught to see myself as superior or that anyone owes me anything. These people are just sick.

    My first thought reading the headline: this is Uttar Pradesh, isn’t it?

    Of course it is.

        I was just about to say this! I never saw any “xxx country is a shithole” post on Reddit without so much backlash. It was annoying.
