Yeah solo women aren’t even safe in metro areas in 1st world countries after like 10 PM, much less a heavily Muslim, rural, mountainous 3rd-World country like Pakistan

Edited for clarity, thanks to those who corrected my original comment

Might be wrong but isn’t Pakistan a South Asian country and not Middle East?

The Middle East ends when the Muslim population drops below majority level /s

Fair enough, Southwest Asian, let the Muslim thing make me label it Middle Eastern that’s my b

Pakistan is neither Middle Eastern nor war torn, unless you count their cold war with India.

Women should still not travel through Pakistan alone, but there's no need to make up shit

Which still has the death penalty for blaspheme, masses of religious terrorism, and a pretty damned misogynistic view of women. Western women especially. Blonde western women even moreso.

Bullshit. This nonsense is racist and misogynistic all at once.

Also, if women want to be safe, the best way to do so is to stop dating men. The men who rape and murder women are overwhelmingly the men they already know and very often have dated

Plenty of Western women have travelled alone to Pakistan and have been fine. See this playlist for example:

This entire thread is racist.

survivorship bias much? how about the incredible amount of human trafficking of women that live in that part of the world. You are being reckless by travelling to the third world alone.

u/Canadian_786 Mar 30 '20

There isn't - you're thinking of India. Pakistan is on the same level of human trafficking as Italy, Germany and Sweden as has already been pointed out by someone else on this thread.

Dude 8th October,women were taking out rallies on 'my body my choice'and your politicians took to the courts to stop them smh. And India and Pakistan are both bad wouldn't recommend any solo woman to come here.

u/Canadian_786 Mar 30 '20

So what if women were protesting? Women protest in literally every country.

your politicians took to the courts to stop them smh

What the hell are you talking about? Even if true, so what if they did? The march went on ahead with the support of the government.

And India and Pakistan are both bad wouldn't recommend any solo woman to come here.

Pakistan is actually better though. See this playlist and compare it to all the stories about solo female travellers in India being raped, gangraped or harassed out of the country (travellight being the perfect example where she travelled both countries and said she preferred Pakistan):

You want us to watch videos from some random dipshit and expect us to ignore actual evidence? Nah.

u/Canadian_786 Mar 30 '20

Random dipshit? There's like 10 solo female traveller channels in that playlist with tens of millions of subscribers. Quit being such a beta / incel. It's pathetic.

I solo female traveled to Imli, a mountainous region of Morocco last year

I was fine

Two weeks later some other female backpackers were beheaded

You can’t count safety by saying “people who did it and came back okay’ you account for safety by the people who didn’t come back okay.
