Hmmm....maybe it's the 120K "Asian" immigrants living in Norway?

Reminds of that question George Carlin posed, “I wonder if there’s more rape at The Equator or The North Pole?”

Numbers-wise, it’s a low number of crimes against women.

Crime-rate-wise, it’s big.

With a population of around 395 thousand, Iceland is about equal to the population of Tampa Florida.

NOW needs to open up a chapter in Iceland. ;)

I don’t think that Iceland has any muslims there.

I think the key to the article is this:

“Two in three women said they had either witnessed or were a direct victim of unwanted sexual experiences,”

This question as posed could be women who have experienced the unwanted sexual advances of men—or have seen other women who experienced unwanted sexual advances of men.

Put that way—there would be few women in the world who had not experienced unwanted sexual advances from men—or had witnessed same.

It would be hard for an engineer to design a system more prone to failure. Men are expected to make the first move and come on to a woman. If she finds him unattractive or she’s not in the mood, then it’s an unwelcome advance.
And these same women complain that men don’t show them any attention.

I’m betting the paradox is directly related to the number of immigrants.

These reports and “studies” are calculated efforts to drive home the message that you are not allowed to criticize or even mention that Islamic immigration causes problems. Immigration is the obvious cause of the problem. By willfully ignoring the obvious and then discussing nonsense instead they are publicly slapping everyone into line. They are reminding everyone to shut up always about this.

Exactly. And this happens worldwide. Remember that idiot woman who accused Kavenaugh of trying to touch her at a teen party on a bed??? Most girls would call that Tuesday. Not say it has traumatized them for 50 years.

(I didn’t like him for lying in the Foster investigation to protect the Clintons but that’s a different story)

They didn’t say “advances”, they said “experiences”. As a woman, I can tell you that there is a great deal of difference between an unwanted sexual advance and an unwanted sexual experience.

“””“Two in three women said they had either witnessed or were a direct victim of unwanted sexual experiences,””””

That is totally vague and the kind of question modern women have been trained to always answer yes to, but what does it mean?
