Teenage German tourist raped on Indian train

92. "measured differently" is a massive understatement, as is "many rapes go unreported."

When you look at their laws, Sweden has probably the loosest definition of what constitutes rape in the world.

In Sweden, children are taught "gender equality" from an early age in school. They are encouraged to report. And emotional pressure qualifies as rape.

In most countries, children are *not* taught gender equality, they are discouraged and punished for reporting.

India (and China) are extremely mysogenist countries, where large numbers of fetuses are aborted specifically for being female, female babies are abandoned, their spines deliberately broken, etc. In India, women have acid thrown in their faces and have been mutilated by their husbands. This has been a well known and publicized issue for decades now.

That this contempt for females would carry over into violent rape seems pretty consistent with their values.

In Sweden, Assange is wanted for rape because he figured consent the night before translated into consent in the early morning. Oh, and because a condom broke.

Somehow that just doesn't seem to compare with, say, violent gangrape of a total stranger, including with a pipe until her insides were pulp, pulling her instestines out of her vagina and then throwing her off a moving bus and left to die.
