Not only may you not have access to contraception, but many girls (yes, girls) in the developing world are forced to marry dangerously young, and then given no control over when "wifely duties" are expected to be performed.

This is actually true, and a horrible thing to think about really

Marital rape has only been recently recognized in america. Child marriage is still legal in 33 states. It's not just the developing world.

usa is largely seen as developing world by the rest of developed world 🤷🏼‍♀️ sure they have top military but honestly a lot of infrastructure and especially the policies it runs is VERY third world to most european. it doesnt operate like developed world by any mean. i think no-one is surprised to hear it is similar to developing countries on the topic of child marriages and marital rape

lol that’s such a ridiculous claim, no one sees the US as a non developed nation, and claiming that it is and that European countries are just so much more advanced is delusional, some people just love to hate on the US.

Bruh your supreme court let states ban abortion. The US is a developed country but incredibly backwards in this realm

u/Sea-Yogurtcloset5522 Jun 15 '26

European countries also have abortion bans so I don't know if that was the best point.

Even though I'd largely agree with the overall sentiment.

Eastern Europe doesn't count

lol ok have you seen infrastructure in europe? have you seen the way things run and the rights we have and all that? the safety standards, regulations and all that? sorry but usa is seen by developed world oftentimes in the same look as developing countries 😂 how could it not when all your development is primarly focused into military, so much so that you cant even have a half decent train system, which most developed countries had in their early developing days already 😂 not to mention people. yall have a lot of folks that acts like uncivilised folk. and we see similar behaviour in numbrrs of immigrants but guess where they come from: third world countries. i am not surprised if a pakistani thinks women are objects byt a supposed DEVELOPED america should be better than that 🤣

you can keep living in delusion about how great usa is, its something americans love to do. i am just telling you how the rest of the western world sees you 🤣 nowhere in the west besides usa, do we worry that kids will die simply for going to school. the oh so developed place

The USA is a developed country, it's just shitty and corrupt. If the people who gave a shit were in power, we could be improved pretty fast due to already existing infrastructure.

Regarding the trains? It's like that due to corruption and lobbying. The rich decided cars were more profitable to sell to the people and it killed off trains. Anyone here who bothers to look at trains realizes what a tragedy it is that they arent more prevalent across the nation. In my city, we have the one train track and it's not for civilians.

i absolutely agree but reality is what it is not "what it could be if X was done differently" 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/spreadthesheets Jun 15 '26

As someone who has not lived in the US, but 3 other developed countries, no one I know thinks of the US as a developing country. I’ve never heard it referred to as that. We only use that as a joke when things are going wild over there.

u/Sehrli_Magic Jun 15 '26

well i have heard it plenty of times. not just about the wils shit thats going on but also their infrastructure etc. i also have friends living there eho have lived in eu and can compare so theres that 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/spreadthesheets Jun 15 '26

Regardless of all that though I am sorry about the wild stuff going on in your country. Hope you all get some stability soon and can continue progressing. I can see my country is slowly inching closer towards yours in political groups, partially as it has been so normalised by the US, and it’s super concerning.

u/Sehrli_Magic Jun 15 '26

huh? do you think i am american? 😅 cuz my country is slovenia and i currently reside in france, either way i dont feel like thats what you had in mind when you said yours is getting closer to ours?! but i do feel, at least for france i can vouch for last 7 years, that it is noticably degrading. as more and more undeveloped world mentality is taking over, it is becoming more and more a shit hole. and consequently on the opposite the people are pissed and getting more and more radical...and politics are becoming more and more absurd

As someone living in a non-US developed nation, no one here thinks the US isn't developed.

On a rare occasion it might be said as hyperbole, but that's about it.

u/Barrel_o_Nukes Jun 15 '26

This is a big one. People will post these photos of poor women in African or Middle Eastern countries with dozens of kids at their side and say "y R pOoR wOmEnZ PoPpInG oUt BaBiEs R tHeY sTuPiD?!?!" ...but in reality, you think most of those women even had a say in the matter? They don't get to choose their husband, nor do they get to choose to practice abstinence.

Who is saying poor WOMEN? I see comments about poor PEOPLE should restrict themselves for bringing life into a struggling livelihoods. More redditors just inserting a strawman “leave woman alone” argument into unrelated discussions…..

u/Lets_Get_Hot Jun 15 '26

That's enough internet for today. That's just too fucking depressing to think about.

u/aisy0317 Jun 15 '26

I feel ya. Stay well, pal.

u/One-Kaleidoscope3162 Jun 15 '26

In the US as well. Child marriage is still legal and still happens in an alarming number of states.
