Just what is wrong with the society i live in

I feel most men are bad bcuz they don't hold bad men who try to predate on women accountable for their actions or take action on them, instead they make excuses for them until they go and do something more badder, sometimes i feel most men r hiding something from women or they are also same.

One guy told me only 10% men r bad, 90% are good. But the 10% look for women/girls/victims more so women tend to come across bad men more. I think he is wrong bcuz if most men are good, why is our society like this !? Why do other men stand there and do nothing, why can't they hold bad men accountable if most men r good?!?

I feel men r predating on women instead of protecting women

I am not totally sure what you mean by bad men. If they are criminals then it’s down to the justice system. If it’s about how they treat women then it’s probably cultural.
I don’t think it is the same in every country.

@justanotherone bad men means who pass comments on women's bodies, grope women, touch women inappropriately, shame women's sexuality, be sexist, etc

I live in India. So i think it could be justice system problem and also cultural, both. 50% men don't seem to treat women bad here but the ones who do have no or very less consequences

@sahi81 I guess it's a long way to go. In the western countries there are a lot more legal protection for women. Against harassment, verbal, physical. Now even against online harassment. It still not perfect and it's not there where it should be. The life is not the same safe for women as for men. Still a long way, but at least it's improving.
In your country I believe beside the cultural differences probably the education need to be improved as well. And that needs more than one generation to change.
I am sorry how you feel about men I understand your point. Unfortunately there is no easy and quick solution. But that is definitely good you can talk about this. Women need to speak up a lot to get heard. Politicians only make changes if they feel they would lose a lot if they don't do it.

@sahi81 I think it's a good decision, don't accept bad things. Do what you can against it. And don't give up fighting.
Make sure you don't go to other countries where also will suppress you.

@justanotherone i am trying for UK or any european countries, heard they r safer. US i wanted to but it have many crime rates.... so i didn't try.

@sahi81 I think Europe is a good choice. I live in Europe and been living in UK too.
You will be much safer, much more protected and much more equal in society than you are now.
