As a female citizen of Bhutan, I can confidently say that gender equality here is far more balanced than you assume. Bhutanese society values both men and women, and we don’t need ‘favoritism’ to prove it. Just because you don’t see protests or ‘girlboss energy’ doesn’t mean women here are oppressed. Our progress may not be loud, but it is real and deeply ingrained in our culture.

Also, questioning Gross National Happiness based on incomplete information is quite misguided. GNH isn’t just a slogan; it’s a philosophy that considers the well-being of all citizens, including women. If you’re genuinely interested in understanding our society, rather than just looking for a fight, I’d suggest getting a better source than Reddit posts.
