Yah no one gives it a public go ahead. But some people have had a terrible time getting it prosecuted. They build laws around it, but when it comes to the actual enforcement....That's when it's tough.

Go to the NOW website and find out how many countries still accept rape as a social norm. Seems to be the same countries that are still trying to abolish FGM. Do some homework on it, and get back to me.

For example: In Africa it was ok to abduct and rape a girl to ask for her hand in marriage. Her parents then had to give consent. So people went down there over a specific case, to get it prosecuted....

I don't expect you guys to hang out on the NOW website or really care about the issues. Just do some homework.

Hell go to the Phillippines and ask how many have been raped. They will have no idea wtf you are talking about. For some of them:It's their job.

I don't care for your statistics in a world full of vast cultural differences.

Cicero, I hope you don't think for one minute that I am supporting the notion that rape is ok for anyone anywhere any culture. Because I am not.

I can't tell you about rape, but I have a (surprisingly) large number of friends who have spent many years in Japan teaching English. They definitely have a different set of cultural morals when it comes to all sex.

Not two weeks ago, in fact, one friend posted about an incident at his current junior high school: a boy ejaculated all over the books and school supplies of a girl in his class. It was not his student, so he doesn't know whether the intent was overtly malicious, or some twisted modern day version of flirting-by-pulling-her-hair-on-the-playground... but what he does know is there were zero repercussions. The administration treated it as a "boys will be boys" type of thing. They didn't even bother notifying either set of parents.

Have you seen those videos where dudes sneak up on a girl sitting on a park bench or whatever and bukkake on her and then run away? lol

I always thought those were staged, but now I wonder...

It's a sneak-attack. She usually yells at him as he runs away, or is too shocked to realize what happened before he is long gone. Sorry, not technically "bukkake" because it's only one dude, it just sounded funnier that way. . . . . . . . I have some links...

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.

The proposed new measures include a 50 percent reduction in live-eel anal insertions, and a requirement that portrayals of group sex involving seven or more individuals feature at least four human participants. Also under consideration is a zero-tolerance policy covering all "prurient uses" of colostomy bags.

"live-eel anal insertions"

"group sex involving seven or more individuals feature at least four human participants"

"prurient uses of colostomy bags"

I just knew that I should go see "Paul Blartt: Mall Cop".
