In light of the recent pronouncement by Republican
senatorial candidate Todd Akin (currently a Congressmoron from Missouri serving
on the Committee on Science, Space and Technology, although he seems to
believe that the sun revolves around the flat earth) on how the human
female reproductive system works, it occurred to me that I need to consider
places in comparison to which the United States doesn’t come out looking like the
worst collection on the planet of utter nincompoops WRT women’s issues.
So I turned to Foreign
Policy’s maps of the Worst
Places to Be a Woman.
Didn’t make me feel any better to consider the
condition of women around the world, but it did take my mind off the jaw-dropping
posturing of one scumbag who represents the medieval mentality that is only
slowly being chipped away—in some places more than others.
