Danish teen fought off her attacker - now she'll face fine

225. I'm writing this from Europe where I'm currently living, so I feel quite qualified to do so.

When I talk about Europe, I'm talking about the attitudes of the major western democracies like France, Germany and the UK along with countries like the Scandinavian and Benelux countries. They each have their own differences obviously, but there are shared values that are very different from America. There are people across Europe who make the same arguments as some of the people in this thread with regards to self defense, yet those arguments disappear very quickly over here when reports of the levels of violence in America hit the news.

I'm also not romancing it. There are positives and negatives to all of this, but what is annoying me was the initial false narrative that Denmark (one of the safest and most gender equal countries in the world) was some backwards throwback where women don't have any rights.
