Rape culture is not measured quantitatively by rapes reported/estimated. Please either go back to your men's rights hideyhole or actively get off the internet and start speaking to women active in the space of feminism to educate

Hahahahahahaha. No. Women in the West do not have it better than men by a long shot. We have a presidential candidate threatenjng to sue to silence all accusers of sexual assault towards him. We have trans women of color being killed daily

They do have different laws. And there is a mountain of difference between powered, engined vehicles and bicycles.

The mountain of hit and runs that go unsolved in cyclist deaths creates an unsafe atmosphere for cyckists and says otherwise.
