No I didn't think that. I just think the stats I am given are innately flawed.
It's just not a reliable set. Rape is reported more often in this country because it is punishable by law. Big time.
Our numbers are high here because we actually enforce that law. So people do report it and statistics can be proven. It isn't reported every time, but our numbers here are more close to the actuality.
It also depends on your definition of rape. Some people see child prostitution as prostitution, but I also define it as a rape because there is no way for it to be consentual.
There are bars that own kids in Asia. They don't see it as rape. They see it as a business transaction. And there are other reasons why it goes unreported in other countries.....In Africa and other places you are shamed by your community for no longer being a virgin........
They are trying to get guys to quit abducting and raping to get marital consent still. South Africa.
But this is a flame topic so I really should go. I will not supply any links here. I want you to do your own research. If you are interested.
