I visited all states in the western half and it was shocking to see that the infrastructure outside of the cities is more or less comparable with the poorest parts of eastern Europe. It did not change my opinion of the US for the better.
Your comment was about the treatment of women, though, not infrastructure. You probably know that Florida and Alabama are not in the western half of the US. Texas is so big it's often considered its own place, but much of Texas is considered part of the American South in culture and geography. Did you visit Texas? If so, which parts? Much of Europe can fit comfortably within the landmass of Texas, so maybe you just don't have an appreciation of the scale of the U.S. and what that means for politics, infrastructure, culture, etc... Having lived in France, Italy, and the UK for extended periods, I can say that your comments about Europe's superiority don't resonate.
You’re right. While the state of the infrastructure shocked me, it doesn’t say anything about the backwards policies you have in your book burning, women hating states.
