You might be right. I can only report from my experience. I can’t say I saw people being not nice to women because of their gender. But you don’t see many things when you’re a tourist.
US border is asking questions about your opinion of Trump. No other country does that, even if going out of your way to bad mouth their leadership won’t be appreciated.
The answer “it’s none of my business, you guys elected him.” resulted in being turned away from the border.
If you enjoy the risk of getting suddenly jailed NK or Iran are way better.
Iran has better food anyway.
People are also extremely welcoming. It’s almost too much :)
As long as you’re male. And white. Iran is still a deeply racist society.

Incarceration rate per 100k:
Actually, since ICE isn’t sending people to trial, they might be lowering the US statistic lol.
So not only are you safer from getting arrested in Iran, but you’re more likely to receive a trial.
In America, cops can jail you because they feel like it, with no repercussions.
You just made me realize there’s less chance to get imprisioned as a tourist in NK than in USA right now xD
