Because awful power seeking men (usually) get into power in those political systems and start killing on the slightest whim. My friend is Filipino, if I didn't say in my post. She said her country is very strict and even though they don't like to judge even gay people have a very hard time being out, sexual freedom is looked down on and there's an expected way to live and work. It all sounded like 1950-60s Stepford wive-ish to me, if I have my reference correct. I am glad I don't live there.
