    Yes. I also know that Sweden defines rape differently than most other countries and has, if I remember correctly, 3 different tiers of rape.

    According to victim surveys, rape in Sweden (as defined by most countries' standards) is no more prevalent than other western nations.

    Doesn't change the fact rape is rape.

    Yes, thank you! That isn't odd behavior is it? xD

    I think the point he's trying to make is that you have the same chance to be raped in Sweden as you do in America. Only in America(just an example) 1 or 2 ways of rape(Swedish laws) wont be classified as rape and therefor doesn't add to the statistics as they do in Sweden.

    Uhh?? I have never felt this way about guys. Neither have my female friends (I think?). o_O Honestly, I feel more comfortable around men than women because they're so chill and fun to be around (hence why I play games lol). So please don't assume that we are like this. I honestly didn't know many(?) girls were like this aside from rape victims suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
    I am a filthy casual!

    Only 20% of sex crimes are reported according to the very same source you linked to..

    In other words, the total victimization (including 100% suicide rate, which would effectively turn rape into murder) would still be a ridiculously small minority of violent crime and less worthy of concern than it currently garners.

    Women have about the same statistical reason to fear rape as they do some ridiculous disease like necrotizing fasciitis.
    Even recognizing that you're engaging in overwhelming hyperbole, seeing as necrotizing fasciitis has a prevalence of <1:200,000.... I'd kind of like to know where exactly you're getting your information from. The 1 in 6 estimate provided by the US department of Justice seems to be based on extrapolation of information based on the 191,670 reported victims in 2005. A 1995 CDC survey of 5,000 women who had gone through college found that 20% of the women had experienced rape, while another in 2004 found that 4.7% of women experience either rape or attempted rape during the course of an academic year. You could have these numbers reduced to 1% of their reported numbers, and they still wouldn't fit the claim you just made.

    The fact remains that the current information indicates that caution is a reasonable stance to take, when you consider the cost benefit analysis of avoiding being raped. Until you can provide substantiated data that this concern is completely superfluous, that will not change.

    I'm saying that fearing it every moment of your life is ridiculous. You know who has to fear it every moment of their lives? Indians. People in real countries don't.

    You might as well fear rabies. If it happens, yeah... it fucking sucks and it shouldn't happen at all. But the reality is it's so rare that you miss out on a lot of shit by being afraid constantly.
    Laize, calm down as a black female I am more likely to be assaulted, raped, murdered, and a whole host of other things than you a white male.

    Ya, that person was me and for the record that's pretty much what I meant, or at least what I tried to mean until I got assaulted by the super-awesome Justice squad.
    First off that guy wanted it!

    Second I can't believe I missed a chance to be in the Super-Awesome Justice Squad.

    Actually no, I said it was as sexist for them to be afraid of men because some men are rapists as it is racist to be afraid of black people because some black people are violent criminals. In both cases, the fearful person is ascribing the behavior of a small subset of a group to all members of that group, which is the very definition of sexism/racism. It's right there on the page; try to keep up.

    I assure you that you have no reason to be flattered. You repeatedly dismiss crimes against men and insist that we should ONLY discuss crimes against women. You repeatedly suggest that male crime victims are to blame for the crimes perpetrated against them, while female crime victims are not. There's nothing flattering about that.

    I've actually changed my mind and come to believe that you genuinely don't understand why anyone would want to talk about crimes perpetrated against male victims, because you literally do not give a shit. Crimes against men -- and the fact that men are more likely to be victimized than women -- simply don't matter to you, because it doesn't bother you if men are beaten, stabbed, shot, or murdered. My position -- that violent crimes are a bad thing, regardless of the gender of the victim -- simply doesn't compute to you, because to you, when a woman is victimized it's a tragedy, but when a man is victimized, who cares?

    Anywho, it's been real, but it's late in my part of the country, so I'm signing off.

    not just women but men and women should be mindful when they walk the streets. it's not living in a "state of fear" to walk across the street when a group of people are walking in your direction. the world is filled with bad people and to think you are safe walking home at night and being oblivious to the world around you, will get you hurt or killed

    it's like the same thing for people who drive without seatbelts, they think they are great drivers and they would be fine. It's not you that you should worry about, do you really want to trust your life in the hands of every other driver that passes you?

    Are you really a black female? Man, here I was imagining a teenage white-boy when I read your bit about "forever alone guy". Shows you just how much you can really tell about people irl through their post: Nothing.

    A bit? A lot, if you read abortion threads.

    In a perfect world, it wouldn't be safer for women to be afraid of men.

    Unfortunately, 'tis not a perfect world.

    Yup, I am a black chick that loves manga (favorites include Berserk and Dorohedoro), currently listening to Prodigy Fat of the Land, and I can read......books no less. But that is just the tip of my strangeness for a black chick.

    And with that I am off to bed.
