There are ~4.5 billion people living in Asia (more than half of the world's
population, speaking more than 2,000 languages in 48 countries and who knows
how many cultures). Are you calling the majority of them, or their cultures,
misogynistic? This is a very good example of orientalism (I recommend reading
Edward Said for interesting context).
