Mmhm. You’ve been taken in by some xenophobic propaganda.

And what about Indy music?
 
I’d say you’ve been taken in by SJW propaganda of the “refugees welcome” variety. A lot of good that did France, Germany, and Sweden, huh?

So people should murder? Bad logic, friend.
 
At the same time,doesn’t it need to be addressed that in some European countries there are women that are being raped by refugees from Middle Eastern and African countries?

It would be wrong on one hand to then label all people from these countries as bad or dangerous and then stop immigration all together because most refugees are good,very hardworking and law abiding.
(Personally I would not even been born if Australia had of decided to not welcome immigrants).

On the other hand, I think we should be realistic that some refugees from the Middle East and African countries do bring with them bad mentalities towards women that are not acceptable in the countries they are wanting to move to.
To just “throw them” from one culture,to a totally different one without any integration processes etc can sometimes have disastrous effects.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have a process where potential refugees would be interviewed to answer questions such as what are their views on women,women wearing certain things,how they perceive women in Europe countries or “liberal countries” vs Middle Eastern countries etc to get a gauge of the persons character and mentalities prior to giving the “yes” for them to live in the new country.

As an aside,(and perhaps Im just stating the obvious) when talking about “rape issues” on a forum like CAF it will be perceived differently according to where the person is living etc.
Eg:a person in US might associate rape with someone the woman knew or with college culture,someone in Europe might associate it with what they are hearing in their local news etc…
 
Given that rape in this cuckold shells that were once countries are at all time highes, Sweden’s amount of rapes have increased over the last 40 year according to the gates stone institute.
 
This is referring to sexual immoralities.
Isn’t that a different subject to rape?
 
That’s because of how they define rape. They class each act as rape, even if it happens in the one instance, where many countries count it as one.
 
I agree that pop culture has a long, sordid history of pandering to rape culture.

Sixteen Candles was an iconic, cult-classic film in my day, and never until now had I pondered how cavalierly it treats rape. The "Sixteen Candles" date rape scene? | Salon.com

That said, “rape culture” has actually existed across all times and cultures. There was no Hollywood when Greek mythology spoke of Zeus raping Leda or Poseidon raping Medusa, (and Medusa getting blamed for it). Throughout history, foreign women have been kidnapped as spoils of war, long before there was such thing as a modern music industry.

So pop culture can fan the flames. But I don’t think we can say it’s the root cause.
 
alex do you understand what rape is do I have to send you links to artical sabot how a elderly German woman was sexually assisted In her bed while she slept, do I have to send you a link to Multiple articles talking about the New Year’s Eve sexual assault in Germany or would you prefer the one on 2 boys who raped a young girl then she was made to be homeschooled while her rapists went to school as usual, pick one there’s plenty.
 
Greeks also thought pedophilia was ok and was expected that older men sleep with little boys so what’s your point.

I’m unfamiliar with how refugee intake works in Australia, (or worked until they clamped down as much as the U.S. did), but the procedure here is to require new refugees to undergo intensive coursework called Cultural Orientation. Among other things, newcomers learn about how gender roles work in the U.S. There are differences, to be sure. Not everyone comes from countries in which rape is always the fault of the rapist, and what may seem like an innocuous flirtation in one culture is considered illegal stalking here.

I can’t deny that the gender discrimination from some of these countries that can contribute to rape. What’s crazy, however, is that they have more in common with the West than they think. Both Talibanic rapists and the now-infamous Steubenville rapists hold the same horrific, fundamental mentality that women are sub-human, disposable commodities to use at one’s leisure.

The point is that you’ll find a lot of rape examples spanning across various times and cultures. It’s dangerously reductionistic for any of us to point our fingers at single, isolated hypothesis like mini-skirts, Islam, frat parties, pop music, etc.

The question is really complex, but there has to be some underlying cause or mentality that we’re overlooking.

From your first link:
Kristine Eck, a researcher at Uppsala University, argued in a February 2017 Washington Post op-ed that because Sweden is particularly thorough in recording and publicly reporting crime, it may lead to the false impression that crime is higher there than elsewhere.

I think that another factor swaying Swedish data may lie in the relative ease of reporting rape in Sweden. Both their culture and criminal justice system may make it easier for a woman to come forward. To state the obvious, a lack of reports doesn’t equal a lack of rapes.
 
Yep, it does. I linked to the snopes article above 😊 I’ve seen videos on it too that agree your reading likely adds.
