I am quite sure that I will be controversial and my contribution will be taken amiss. I should abstain for my mental wellbeing :)

A stand out in the map is Sweden which is generally regarded as a liberal country with quite progressive social mores. One of the rape charges against Julian Assange in Sweden centered on whether a condom broke during sex or whether it had been deliberately damaged by him but it was consensual other than that.

The simple fact is that a man can be convinced he is having consensual sex whilst the woman thinks she is being raped. A woman I know was walking along a lane. A car drove past and guy yelled out "Wanna fuck". She said yes because she felt at risk if she didn't comply. Better to have unwelcome sex than violence visited upon her.

Geermaine Greer has suggested that rape is bad or banal sex and that rape should be decriminilized and replaced with an automatic sentence of 200 hours of community service upon a girl's sworn accusation. However GG has also complained of husbands raping their wives in the sense of the husband badgering his wife into agreeing to sex when she feels tired.

I think the first thing we should do, is stop using the word rape. Rape has the connotation of man stalking a woman and seizing her to forcibly have sex at knife point but in a lot of instances it is not at all like this. It might be a sober man taking advantage of girl's drunken state of impaired judgement. Or it could be a drunken man with a drunken girl who regrets next morning. A little further along the spectrum, the girl could be passed out drunk.

Is a deliberately broken condom rape, when penetrative sex was agreed to, or is it some other crime? What evidence can there be? The girl saw Assange fiddling with the condom but you do fiddle with condoms in putting them on.

I would suggest we should use 'sexual assault' instead of 'rape' and think in degrees of sexual assault that goes some way to cover the range of real world circumstances from mutual drunkenness to a premeditated stalking rape.

In short we can't have sensible conversation on sexual assault without considering real world greyness. Obviously I have chosen some points along the grey scale spectrum. We cannot have sensible conversation on this topic without graduation of sexual assault. That is the first step.

You'll never stop 100% of any crime - most crime is a result of poor parenting (usually from both parents), but there are also kids who are born mentally defective in a way that lends itself to them committing crimes.

What helps a LOT is to actually prosecute crimes and keep those people off the streets. Many governments don't do this - even in the West, crime is on the rise because Leftists are putting people in power who refuse to prosecute crimes and judges who refuse to issue tough sentences even for the most heinous crimes. Rapists and murderers - even with confessions, or video evidence, often get just a couple of years, and then they're back out on the streets to re-offend. Some states have enacted cashless bail, and even given that to super-violent criminals - several murderers were released on cashless bail and went on to commit additional murders - in my area, one guy was given cash bail twice, both times for murder, and on his second time out killed 2 more people, before they finally held him.

If you vote for lenient crime enforcement, or god help you for "defund the police", you're just ensuring that a lot more of the most dangerous people in the world are out on the streets, free to attack you and your loved ones. Your vote directly impacts exactly these kinds of things.

Was actually talking to my boyfriend last night about this. So I live in one of these top countries and can speak from first hand that this is a cultural issue. Woman in these countries and cultures and taught to keep quiet and do as man wants. Most the rape cases go unreported so these numbers are a lot higher. Ideally castration would be one ideal however proper education about this is probably how one can solve it from the root.

You have to teach men to respect women and you have to teach women to protect their children by respecting their emotions and listening to them. I believe people who rape others had bad role models, and I'm not saying it's an excuse, but many people don't try to correct the terrible example they were given and pass their problems on to the next generation by abusing their kids.

Anonymous · Answer

There is a couple things we need to consider.

1. How the laws define rape. For example, India counts all premarital sex as rape. Once you take it all under one standard, the numbers should look very different. As far as I am concerned, all sex that has been forcefully done against the will of someone else (sex of the perpetrator and victim does not matter) should only count but I know that is pretty unpopular.

2. Where we get the sources. For example, I believe the FBI only takes reports into account and not convictions.

3. We need to know what goes on in the heads of people who do commit them. I hear many say it is just male nature that hasn't gone through feminist reeducation but that is not true at all, I know that sound facetious but that is literally what "teach men not to rape" means.

My theory is that it works a lot like how child abuse perpetuates itself. Chances are the rapist was sexually abused as a child and grew up thinking that this is how love works. As a result, the only thing that "turns them on" is when they are having sex against the will of the "partner". Even then, a child going through this probably won't end up a rapist so I do not know how to solve this if my theory is correct.

You can't stop them. There are some things you can do to reduce them - but for many there are tradeoffs.
In some countries rape isn't treated as a serious crime - that could be changed if there was the political / socal will.

In most places more police, more surveillance would help. In the extreme, we do have the technology to monitor everyone all the time. Any rape (or other crime) would be found and the perpetrator locked up. (and we catch the prison rapists as well). The only crime would be committed by the authoritarian government. (which would deny it of course)

I don't think you can completely stamp it out. But you can make a difference. Problem is some of this is cultural. I mean for example I don't believe Saudi Arabia is that low on the list. Maybe it's.09 per 100k REPORTED rapes rather than rapes for them. I know this is not a funny subject, but to quote a famous comedian in some countries women and men are fairly close in equality. And in other countries women's value is just a step up from household pet. How the he'll you supposed to prevent rapes from happening if women are treated in so little regard there.

Anonymous · Answer

You can't, however Judging by your map you can simply redefine rape. Sweden and the USA for example have very lose definitions for rape.

This definition of course is very harmful to their culture as it makes it very difficulty to have any kind of relationship with a woman without risking legal jeopardy.

That naturally makes women who want strong assertive men very unhappy because soo few are willing to risk acting that way if they risk talking to them at all.

Sanser · Answer

I think that statistics are very wrong because at the end its about who go to the police and sue the raper...
But about what you are asking. I dont believe in rehabilitation, rapers should get biggest pennalties, more years in jail. There are some places that its a few years when the life of the victim is destroyed... Rapers are wild animals and they must be scared of law to make them stop.

Raaj4you · Answer

The only solution to the problem is legalizing prostitution.

We have to teach both men and women to respect each other. Just like computer courses, we should focus on coaching youngsters, how to date men / women?

Both boys and girls should spend their time with parents and siblings of the opposite sex.

OddBeMe · Answer

Umm, mostly, it’s crime- which can be reduced by better economic standards in a given community.

On other levels it’s pathology or psychopathy. So it might never be “gone”. But DNA and other advancements have surely made criminals double think getting their cocks out.

Not going to happen. The psychology of a rapist is someone who is looking for a sexual rush in controlling their victims through sex.

Rapist will always exist because humans suck but the best way to deal with them is to put a law in place to put them to death to greatly decrease future rapes.

You can't. There will always be rapes, murders, robberies and so on. The nature of human is not good by default. There will always be evil people as long as free will exists.

If family courts stopped removing fathers from children's lives a lot of social ills would at minimum decrease.

Only way of happening is if the human race is wiped out pretty much. Rape does happen with animals naturally, by the way, which isn't going away. Of course humans shouldn't be.

You can't completely stop it. But you can start with teacher children in school the self defense of screaming for help, running and not being at surtain locations at surtain times...

LiamJHayden · Answer

We can't, but burning forcible rapists and those who drug their victims at the stake in public would be a start.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

There is no way of completely stopping any crime. There are already laws in most parts around the world where rape is illegal and some laws are too strict that even that innocent can be accused.

Christoff92 · Answer

Teaching men value of women and their traits. Showing men how to be individually confident over themselves.

Unfortunately, it won't happen. Perhaps having convicted rapists publicly executed or castrated might slow it down.
