Yeah ok, it's going up year on year and so is the % of migrants doing it, so much so it's being covered up.

Also wikipedia:

In August 2018, SVT reported that rape statistics in Sweden show that 58% of men convicted of rape and attempted rape over the past five years were immigrants born outside of the European Union: Southern Africans, Northern Africans, Arabs, Middle Easterns, and Afghans.[11][12] Swedish Television's investigating journalists found that in cases where the victims didn't know the attackers, the proportion of foreign-born sex offenders was more than 80%.[11] The number of rapes reported to the authorities in Sweden significantly increased[4] by 10% in 2017,[13][14] according to latest preliminary figures from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention.[13][14] The number of reported rape cases was 73 per 100,000 citizens in 2017, up 24% in the past decade.[14] Official numbers show that the incidence of sexual offences is on the rise;[4][11][14] the Swedish Government has declared that young women are facing the greatest risks and that most of the cases go unreported.[4]

But I guess your rinky dink leftist website is accurate and my sources are "fake news".

Please explain why ethnitcy is no longer recorded in their crime stats? Or why the media and police covered up rapes of Swedish girls by migrants at music festivals?

The majority of rapes in Sweden are committed by migrants. You can read that on the BBC.

The police didn’t cover up any rapes at festivals in Sweden, nor did the media. And those arrested for the festival rapes were not predominantly migrants.

And no - you’ve no idea who commits the majority of rapes in Sweden. The figures referred to in the BBC relate to 2% of reported rapes. Slightly over half of that 2% were not Swedish-born.

My ‘rinky dink leftist website’ is the Swedish National Council on Crime Prevention; part of the Swedish Civil Service.

Your pie accounts for 2% of reported rapes in Sweden. Nobody is covering anything up. Where did you get your information from?

Perhaps 1% of the male population of Ireland is from countries/cultures where rape is not be considered to be a particularly despicable act. The sort of places where raped women are sometimes prosecuted for the "crime" of allowing themselves to be raped.

Irish Times circulation is nosediving so the editors and marketing whizz kids have decided that they should aim at a new target market - the man-hating, abortion loving, immigrant loving, #metoo career female (of both genders, or none).

It's a brave move and I wish them the best of luck with it, because they'll never get another cent from me - and I had been a loyal customer for most of my adult life up to a few years ago when I got fed up of the interminable PC sh1te and re-printed Guardian crap.

You people are so poisonous, it's incredible.

'Man-hating' - you can't stand it that women actually have rights and that men sometimes (sometimes being the key word here) end up paying for their criminal acts against women

'abortion loving' - you can't stand it that women are allowed to decide what happens to their own bodies and would prefer for them to have children they can't cope with, even in cases of rape or serious health issues, than have any say in the matter

'immigrant loving' - just say you're a racist and a xenophobe and hate anyone not like you

#metoo - yeah, just take a hashtag aimed at raising awareness of how common sexual assault/harassment is and insinuate that it's some kind of attack on men

career female - you think women aren't actual real people with rent and bills to pay just like men. God forbid any woman would want a life that doesn't revolve around raising children and cleaning the house.

Why don't you try the Daily Mail? Plenty of your sort over on their comment section.

It is the complete lack of balance that is the issue....you're use of negative emotive terms merely reveals how deeply you are buying into todays outrage culture hysteria...that will get exhausting in time as it will affect how you engage with people around you!

Metoo took out at least as many innocent men as it did guilty men without so much as a trial....no media outlet is touching that.

Abortion rights for women is an important step for any society, but men are now left with absolutely no parental rights at all which it seems no one is allowed or willing to discuss.

Immigration is a massive issue for any state, particularly ours, we have a dysfunctional health system, an strained education system, a massive social welfare system, a pension time bomb and we are carrying massive debt that all of us are on the hook for, we need to talk about immigration in a mature fashion and not be considered racist, no one is allowed to discuss this either so it is left to the loons like Gemma O'Doherty..

Man hating feminists are an issue for all Western Societies, shamefully believing that one gender is superior to another cannot be tolerated in any way shape or form.

I understand not all feminists are man haters, but enough of them are.

Career females aren't just welcome, they are needed in a society with skyrocketing rents and house prices and expensive childcare, what is not fair are government enforced quotas on private sector companies and systematic "positive" discrimination within education and state infrastructure....no one is allowed to discuss that either.

Oh and women already enjoy the same rights as men have done for some time....no media outlets likes to remind us all of that for some reason.

The Daily Mail, uniquely has a majority female readership, so I don't know what you mean by that.

There was a case not a month old where a female game dev used the metoo to blacken the name of a male dev in an attempt to boost their public profile.

The end result was a suicide by the accused because despite what you are saying metoo is being abused by opportunists to get ahead.

That is the problem with following these trends blindly they are easily manipulated. People who do so are just as bad as all the call outs in this post because they don't actually care about equal rights and will gladly support injustice aslong as their vested interest is ok.

This thread is about "Rape Culture"...that is the most perfect example of fabricated outrage.

(I was previously mislead about this very saying myself, as I was about the gender pay gap as well, another fine example of fabricated outrage)

Probably be easier if you linked up an impartial report on the story?

I don't believe so but that's the problem with trial be media we will never know. There is allot of evidence that what she said he did didn't happen.

Yes. Zoe Quinn. Also has a comic series with DC comics coming out. If they're going to the media and social media sites instead of the Police to report it then you can bet its probably bull****.

Rape Culture, Gender Pay Gaps, Misleading Domestic Abuse Narratives...if you are a woman who believes that all the men around you are contributing in any way at all to the systematic oppression of you through those means (and more) how could you possibly avoid man hating?

In the last week or two, I myself have come across articles in the Irish Times, NY Times, Irish Indo where men have been blamed for Climate Change, poop shaming women in the workplace, sexually harassing female cyclists, the cause of the rise of female anger...and I try to keep away from MSM, I didn't visit The Guardian which I used to...

What will it take for people to cop the f##k on!!

If you are a young woman who is blinded by these toxic false narratives you need to come back from the hysteria that is being pumped into you, you are being shamelessly manipulated!

Quite allot of articles on the Zoe Quinn thing, two such are https://kotaku.com/night-in-the-woods-designer-alec-holowka-dies-1837783073 which shows the original reporting of the death and https://www.thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-zoe-quinns-allegations-are-falling-apart/ which goes over the timeline of what was said and evidence against what Zoe said.

I don't know which one of them was the bad guy but how this went down shows the pitfalls of trial by media.

There are wider implications on us as society, its only a matter of time before proper checks and balances are put in place.

Allow me to go at this from another angle. I work as a Prison Officer. Rapists in prison are seen as the lowest of the low. They are scum. Murderers are miles above them. What does that tell you? Sex offenders are the only category of prisoner requiring their own prison, with the exception of republican subversives, but that's politics. Imagine that though, their own prison because even the dregs of society won't accept them. Rapists aren't accepted in decent society and aren't accepted in indecent society. Nobody likes them.

Isn't 'rape culture' a term that also covers all forms of dehumanising women and their experience such as by using language like all the pejorative terms ('bitch', 'slut' 'brazzer' etc.,) which is labelled 'banter' but only serves to dehumanise the woman along with saying that certain services shouldn't be provided, articles shouldn't be published etc.,
If the accused isn't found guility then the woman is a 'liar' and her bad experience is negated.

No, it is a deliberately emotive term that only seeks to divide, or in the case of media headlines, drive clicks, as media companies are aware that women are more likely to share negative emotive headlines on social media, and women are the target for every media outlet in the developed world on account of their vastly superior spending power.

Women's magazines/tv programs are even more harsh on other women than men are, men might objectify women as men are visually attracted to the shape of women, but I sincerely have never heard another man dehumanise any woman...of course, there is the banter that young people engage in, but listen to any Female musician these days, one gender is as bad as the other!

If it is then we really do have problems, the meaning of rape being diluted down so much it loses the importance of the act.

Is it ? So name calling now equates to rape ? I don’t agree at all with ever dehumanizing anyone, but these terms are defined by laws not by some outraged snow flake somewhere that decided name calling is potentially rape. I would define name calling as you did above a very dehumanizing act, but it is certainly not rape. We will be going down a dangerous path trying to lump in such actions under a very serious offense.

No I'm pretty sure sociologists use the term to encompass victim blaiming, slut shaming and societal misogyny possibly leading to sexual abuse /rape as one of the consequences of those societal norms.

What that does is show how ridiculous the term rape culture is.

For example, You might say we live in a drinking culture. Birthday? Drink. Anniversary? Drink. Funeral? Drink. Work bonding night out? Drink. We DO NOT live in a rape culture. Birthday? Nah no rape. Anniversay? I'll pass on the old rape. Funeral. Rape wouldn't really be appropriate would it? Work bonding night out? Be a bit of awkward tension Monday morning if you suggested going for a few rapes with the colleagues.

Nobody likes rapists. That was the poster's point I'm sure. It's fine to use dark humour to show up silly and stupid claims IMO.

Well, how do you know 100% if you are not the poster? It's not worth taking a chance on. How can you stand for someone s character on an anonymous message board?

Someone saying ' I love raping" is inviting questioning.

Outside of that, too many excuses around here for mysogonostic behaviour and not enough calling people out on it.

The word misogynistic has lost all meaning...it has been used too often for way too many trivial things...it has lost its power.

Somebody could accuse me (or any man) of being a misogynist I wouldn't bat an eyelid anymore...the person calling me that would be a moron!

“Ireland has a rape culture”
