The naiveté of most Western (white) women is just breathtaking. I suppose they are are all just trying to “be the change” they wish to see in the world? I can’t decide whether they think that if they behave as though non-whites are the same as whites, as if men are the same as women, it will just become so, or if they have been so relentlessly propagandized that they genuinely believe that there is no difference.
Here is yet another woman, a 51-year-old Danish tourist, who found out otherwise two weeks ago. This woman was walking by herself in one of the poorest cities in the world (New Delhi) and in a country that has recently been in the news for the rising number of incidences of gang-rape (India) – when she got lost, and approached a group of local men to ask directions. None of your readers, and no person with any degree of sense, will be surprised by what happened next.
