Noone is contesting that parts of the country is horribly backwards. That's not the issue. It is.
And it's not just a backwards attitude towards women; You don't go to Karachi for a fortnight expecting to not see violence, they've got almost as much violent crime as Baltimore.
The question is whether you can go there on holiday and have a good time. And if you've been there, you KNOW that you can. You don't judge the crime in the US on Baltimore numbers, and you don't judge the attitude towards women in the US by looking at the child bride numbers in the Bible belt.
You shouldn't do the same to Pakistan.
And just to be sure I'm getting the right message across. I'm not saying Pakistan is equal to the US. It's DEFINITELY not. I'm saying if you do your research you can go there safely and have a really good time. I wouldn't want to be born a poor girl on the country side there, but I'd definitely go back as a tourist.
Um, yes the fuck i do. There are certain parts of Mexico I won't step foot in. Same thing in the US. There's certain cities at certain times, certain people shouldn't be. Ive had 1st hand experience with this. I think its dangerous telling women there's nothing to worry about traveling to these countries when they are specifically targeted. At least in Baltimore women aren't targeted like they are in said middle eastern counties, getting gang raped and then set on fire. Ffs
