Uma,
Let me give what I have observed for female populations is jail being lesser - the prominent reason of lesser woman population is favorable treatment they get from society and law- be it India and USA. If you need favorable treatment example from USA let me know. Of course extent of favorism is lesser in USA.
To give you an example of favorism let me share one incidence. The other day I was talking to a married girl who is a doctor and she was explaining how she got away when she was caught by police driving without helmet ( udring her student days). Here is what transpired between them-
Cop- license diphaiyee
Girl - Gives license
Cop - why you are not wearing helmet?
Girl - gives crap reason.
Cop - no madam - you will have to pay Rs 200 fine
Girl-- "AKELI LADKI KO PARESHAN KARTE HO". and sheds few tears
Cop - Ja iyee madam
Girl - Choorungi nahi main, complain karoongi main. What is your name?
Cop - (Hides his name plate,) Aree jayiyee na app
Of course the girl was laughing when she explained this. If you want to talk to the girl let me know.
And hey what is your point when you are barking on anonymus post ? What is the difference between your identity and anonymus identity? Just because you gave your name as UMA it is nothing -- your name may or may not be Uma. If the person who has posted anonymously would have given a name like Ram or Shyam what difference it would have made?
If you follow what you preach - can you disclose your identity? - . With sufficient information including your name your fathers name and your address? If you did I will send you flowers .. for sure.
Now come on.. Show some guts and prove you are not a hypocrat.
