From my observations, I notice that many of the most well-known aspects of Indian culture, such as food, clothing, yoga, "chai tea", etc, seem to be more popular among non-Indian women than among non-Indian men. Similarly, I notice many people with bad experiences of traveling in India seem to be men, while women seem to have more positive comments (even if they dealt with harassment and safety issues).
On that note, Indian culture has serious and well-documented issues of misogyny, as well as lots of incidents of violent assaults against women. So I find it interesting how India seems to be more appealing to women then to men despite the issues of misogyny. Why would this be? Do many aspects of Indian culture feel more "feminine" than "masculine"?
