    Not everything which involves a reference or comparison to a similar thing is whataboutism, smartass. “Pakistan has a rape problem” implies that there’s somehow something special about Pakistani culture or environment which makes it so, and that it’s distinct from rape culture in other places. It’s perfectly valid to push back at that by saying that actually there is a global problem in this regard, and the only reason to single out specific countries like this is to stoke racial animus.
