Rape - Is it a culture?

[Peterf]

Vikrant -

I think you may have just about run the irony to the end of the road on this one - it wasn't particularly funny the first time around.

The outrage in India is encouraging, and it is the first sign that India is starting to address rape seriously after a thousand years of acceptance. As I am sure you realise yourself, this process occured in much of the western world during the late 1960's, although rape may never have been as tolerated or embedded within European culture as it still is in Asia today.

Remember - 14% of Sri Lankan men and 14% of Bangladeshi men admit to having raped someone. In Scandinavia that figure would likely be around 1%, possibly lower.

Percentage of men admitting rape:

Papua New Guinea Bougainville Island - 62%
Indonesia Papua Province - 48.6%
Indonesia urban - 26.2%
China urban/rural - 22.2%
Cambodia - 20.4%
Indonesia rural - 19.5%
Sri Lanka - 14.5%
Bangladesh rural - 14.1%
Bangladesh urban - 9.5%
Source: United Nations

BBC News - Almost a quarter of men 'admit to rape in parts of Asia'

The question asked - always useful to know - was "Have you ever had sex with your wife when she was reluctant?" Any man answering YES was recorded as having admitted raping someone. Puts a rather different light on things.

Really? Why?

Way over 10% of Swedes are either first or second generation immigrants.

Ha! Wonderful!

And the largest community of immigrants in Sweden are Finns!

Let's look at where all of those evil rapists come from...is if the Germans? The Danes? The Poles?!


Finland (163,867)
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Former Yugoslavia (157,350)
Iraq (127,860)
Iran (65,649)
Poland (49,518)
Germany (48,731)
Turkey (45,085)
Denmark (44,209)
Somalia (43,966)
Norway (42,884)

Peter F,

I went back and double checked the criteria for rape in the UN statistics. The statistics only includes the incidents of women forced into sexual intercourse against their consent through violence. So the cases like statutory rapes (unless the girl is under 13), etc. are not included.

Please look at the right upper hand side of the statistics and you will see the criteria.

I am not trying to take delight in the fact that European countries have rape epidemic at hand because I believe this is a failure of entire humanity.

I am simply showing the mirror to those white supremacists who believe that every thing is hunky-dory with whites, and Europe being the bastion of whiteness is perfect. That simply is not the case.

Thank you for taking the trouble.

Where did you get the idea that Europe is still the bastion of whiteness?

Way over 10% of Swedes are either first or second generation immigrants. Over 50% of the population of London are FIRST generation immigrants. Two thirds of babies born in London have foreign born mothers. Large parts of all French cities are populated exclusively by Muslims.

It is not your imaginary 'white supremacists'' who ignore the rape problem in Sweden but the liberal elites in government and media who seek to disguise reality: that the previously very low incidence of rape has soared as a direct result of massive immigration

I am glad that Europe is finally becoming an open minded society and allowing people of color to settle into dignity.

There is nothing wrong with Swedish society taking action against rapists whether they are immigrants or non-immigrants. Just don't demonize all colored folks as rapist. This is wrong.

 

[Tank]

Not all colored folks are rapist, but most rapist are colored folks

 

[Vikrant]

^ Statistics proves you wrong. The countries that are high on rape index are primarily western and northern European countries.

 

[Tank]

And in those primarily western and northern European countries it is people of color committing the majority of rapes

 

[Vikrant]

^ There is no such statistics. It only exists in the figment of your imagination.

How on earth can you discuss whether or not rape is a cultural ritual, if you limit the discussion to only one geographic area?

That's ridiculous.

But then, so is the thread. The left continues to seek ways to normalize deviant, violent, abusive behavior...while pretending to be all about "learning" about it.

There's nothing to be "learned" about the rape incidence in different cultures. Cultures that have more rape tend to have crap attitudes towards women. That's the culture of rape that you're wondering about. Rape typically flourishes in areas where progressives have been busy conducting social experiments.

Dear Vikrant: If the criminal illness behind serial rape can be identified as a disease,
wouldn't calling the symptoms of such sickness a "culture" be like calling CANCER a "culture"?

How do we know what % of rapes are caused by criminal illness and addictions,
and what is influenced by a culture that either encourages or doesn't deter rape and coercion?

Half of all sexual offenders in Canada are married or in long term relationships. 83% of disabled women in Canada will be sexually assaulted during their lifetime. 60% of sexual abuse/assault victims in Canada are under the age of 17. 80% of assailants are friends and family of the victim. 11% of women have physical injury resulting from sexual assault.

These are staggering numbers and they are indicative of cultural problem and more importantly it is reflection of a society which is not capable of introspection.

So if Spiritual Healing therapy were required of people with any records of attacks, assaults or abuse
and these numbers went down, would that mean a change in culture? to introduce a process for diagnosing, treating and curing conditions causing sexual abuse and relationship abuse?

Republicans will tell you whether or not it's legitimate.

Last week’s outbreak of raunchy frosh-week chants at two of Canada’s leading universities – one on each coast – made national headlines. Television reporters covered the events with the sorrowful solemnity normally reserved for crimes against children. News anchors and politicians called the incidents, which seemed to endorse sex with underage girls, “shocking” and “disgraceful.”

According to many students, the problems go deep. “On our campuses, there is a culture of rape, of non-consent,” a female student at the University of British Columbia told Global TV. “It’s just a manifestation of rape culture,” Lewis Rendell, who sits on the board of the Saint Mary’s University Women’s Centre, told the student newspaper at her Halifax school.

University administrators were shocked, as well. UBC’s business school immediately withdrew its funding for frosh week. Saint Mary’s will ensure that all the student leaders involved (including a number of women) receive sensitivity training. The president has appointed a task force that will recommend measures to “foster a cultural change that prevents sexual violence.”

Rape is a kind of violence. Violence is absolutely proportional to a society's sexual repression. Where people's sexual desires are suppressed/repressed, violence increases. Where it's more permissive and tolerated, violence goes down.

Is it a "culture?" Would say instead it's a symptom of a sexually repressive culture.

What does it have to do with Republicans? Broaden your horizon a bit. There is more to this world than Democrats vs Republicans.
