Forbes faced ridicule and condemnation after the media outlet encouraged women to travel alone to Pakistan, including to areas where the Taliban is active.
“Pakistan. It’s not exactly on every solo female traveler’s bucket list. But that doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be,” states the article, which serves as promotional material for Vlogger Eva zu Beck, who made a video asserting that Pakistan “could be the world’s #1 tourism destination.”
The article even notes how Beck headed straight into “Taliban Territory” during the trip, which is obviously a fantastic idea for any female traveling alone.

Respondents to the article on Twitter were not so enthusiastic about Pakistan being on a solo female traveler’s “bucket list.”
“This would only be a good idea if it were the last item on her bucket list,” commented Yasmine Mohammed. — Yasmine Mohammed ياسمين محمد 🦋 (@YasMohammedxx) October 13, 2019
But I thought that Islam automatically means respect for womyn - there should be no sexual harrasment that is common in decadent West permeated by male privilege and toxic masculinity?
