Adding to this. A country that treats woman as housewives or slaves will never reach its full potential. That's +/- 50% of your population wasted.

Its always above 50% of women in most developed countries

India is not a developed country. Female infanticide is still practiced in rural areas.

Not quite in China. They aborted a lot of female fetuses

China’s population has DECLINED for the 3rd year in a row.

I was only responding to your comment about developed countries having women for more than 50% of the population.

But never mind that. I don't consider china a developed country. They have futuristic cities and rich people, but I don't think they are quite up there yet if you consider the per capita figures

Don’t forget they treat their streets and rivers like trash cans and their beaches like toilets

Plenty of trash rivers and pollution in China aswell. Like factories dumping chemicals in the rivers and polluting it for people downstream.

I felt the same about Japan, when I visited 10ish years ago.

With our caste system, it's 90% I would say

Oh man bugger off with this stupid virtue signalling you bad faith commenters keep doing. Yes people are aware, there are movements and protests larger than country populations that take place, and yes there are a hundred more things to fix but to claim that no progress has been made or it's some Afghan style bullshit is insanely disingenuous. Yes it's not ideal or as good as the West or even several other countries but the comparison has to be with oneself and there has been significant progress since 1947. We have discussions dialogs and significant movements, there are women leading many companies and sectors, women representation is normalized and things are improving. It's not the best, and shit ton of progress needs to be made but so has a lot of progress already been made and it's important to highlight that people don't believe this shit to the same extent they did in 1947 and it will get better. No country was born perfect, it will get better and has gotten better. India for example has the highest proportion of women pilots, higher than the West, and that's awesome. Stop discounting women have done to uplift themselves and change the future for so many millions. Sick of you good for nothing idiots passing judgements all the time acting like the holder of morality.

Once you realise that a lot of commenters here are 13 year olds with a marvel movie level of understanding of politics, who gain their worldview from TikTok and Instagram reels, you’ll realise it’s not worth engaging with them.
