It's really too late to go fully into this, but I've worked on an Amnesty campaign revolving precisely around this, and Sweden has a much has a much lower rate of convictions for rape compared to the surrounding countries.
Is that not because everyone accused of sex crimes in Sweden is allowed shelter in the Ecuadorian embassy in London?

Anyway, as much as I'd like to criticise other countries, the allegations of paedo Prime Minister probably trumps a lot of other stuff:

Seemed to been systematic abuse instead of just this one man.


Btw, most interesting detail in that article is that he apparently was a world class yachtsman. Term I never heard before, sounds neat, imagine how cool you must be to then.

No, but the women who file for asylum in Belgium because they fear being raped in India have.. Also, why even try to deny that it is a problem?
It's both a problem and not a problem. Classic India. In the South stranger rape is almost never heard of -- they keep it in the family. ;)

In the North, you have a lot of the dying vestiges of a downtrodden patriarchal social class that's lashing out at their dying social status and significance -- not entire unlike the neo-racism of the American South and similar marginalized working class clans these days.

The good news is that rape in India has got an insane amount of attention, especially when compared to the likes of neighboring China or Thailand who have politically suppressed talking about it.

Not saying rape isn't a problem in India, but it is also one of the most self-aware nations in Asia for dealing with it. I cannot say that about many other neighbors. But what you don't hear in the media is that a woman can walk home in the dark along Bangalore's main MG Road without fear of being assaulted or raped as is typical in much of the world, including the U.S.

Like I said -- it's classic India: for everything you observe to be true, the equal and opposite also exists.

A woman seeking political asylum for fear of rape should be taken seriously. But that could be anything: internal family issues in the south, one of the last power gasp reactions of an underclass clan in the north, or even just knowing India has done a decent job of its own global rape awareness so there's likely more to be sympathetic to such a claim.

Those violent grouprapes in New Delhi ?

There was some proper insane shit amongst them.
That's what you get with marginalized classes that keep falling behind. They see their patriarchical manhood and dominance under threat by growingly empowered women who seem to flaunt their status growth right in front of their eyes.

I don't disagree with any of that, but then why were you laughing that I had never been to India? All I did was say that rape was indeed a problem in India - as it is in many other countries too.

I always wonder. Seeing how it takes houres for some girls to put on those XXXXS yeans. How does one take that off quickly to make a penetraton ?


By the time the rapist is done, he ought to be so tired his perverted desire is gone

It's more the way you framed it, The Catholic Church has finally been dealing with the reality of all the kiddie diddlers in its priesthood and the legacy of its administrators covering for it. But to act as if this phenomenon was unique and limited among religions to the domain of Catholicism is laughable. Virtually every organized religion has some degree or form of this problem.

The way you framed it was a sort of "live in India, get raped", which kind of implied that all other nations were a safe haven.
