"It is easier for guys in Nepal"

Maybe -  but it depends. When it comes to certain things, say affordable childcare and family support, you could make the argument that  mothers (and fathers) with young children have it easier in Nepal than the US. Plus I suppose, as with men, every women's experience living in Nepal (or America) is different depending on where you are with your  career, family,  finances and your emotional and intellectual make-up. I can't speak to  personal freedom for all women in Nepal, but I will say this : boundaries between men and women are being re-drawn everyday. Economic and social necessity, more than activism or ideology, will dictate the pace and direction of that change, but rest assured change is coming.  If you want to be part of that change, this is a great time to be in Nepal and shape that history. If you are a women's activist, there is no better place on earth  to have an impact right now than South Asia.

"Some might disagree but Nepal really is a shit-hole for women."

Au contraire, I know plenty of women who are very happy with their lives in Nepal and would not live anywhere else in the world even if they were paid to do so. It's one thing to stand-up against inequality - perceived or real - and quite another to go about it by trashing your culture and society to make your point. The wise would never belittle their own to feel bigger :)
