Uttar Pradesh is the Florida of the world, but like, way worse.

I think it's a scale issue. If you look at an analog clock and a small child, one second and the child are not that different in size. But an adult is much larger than the entire clock. Therefore, a year, that also is much larger than the clock, is out of scope for the small child, whereas a grow person can barely even see a second because they're so small and you also usually get impaired vision with age.

Can someone explain why his show is popular? Granted I've only seen certain interviews from it, but he comes across as such an insufferable I don't know what. What am I missing?

Everything has context, and context matters. Your can look at any issue from different perspectives and through different lenses. From different perspectives, different aspects of the context might be of different significance, etc. As such, there could very well be a perfectly fine reason to say "stop targeting women journalists". But that doesn't, at all, mean other perspectives are invalid.

But fire has long been used in scientific experiments. You're a lab rat.

The sex, gender, ethnicity etc of the victim, and the perpetrator, can give very important context that can point to very important issues that needs to be dealt with. If you're alluding to the actual deaths of the victims being equally bad no matter their gender because they are all humans, then congratulations for passing the lowest threshold for human decency.

Wanting to end femicide doesn't mean you value women more than men, it's pointing to a specific issue. It also doesn't mean that other issues doesn't matter.

Of course it would have been possible. It would have been possible even like 100 years ago because we had the same alphabet and newspapers and headlines were a thing.

I'll just say this: End femicide.
