Young men believe rape myths

A new study of young men in central Norway reveals disturbing attitudes towards rape.

The study found that one in three believed that a woman can enjoy a rape.

It's extremely alarming, I can't believe that this study is real.
The study of young attitudes to sexual harassment also showed that one boy in four agreed or strongly agreed that women have a tendency to exaggerate how harmful a rape is, and that one of three believe it is important to assess the victim's past in a rape trial.

Women to blame

Every other Norwegian man believes that flirtatious women have themselves to blame if they are raped.

The shock results appear in a report compiled by Amnesty in cooperation with Reform - resource center for men

One in five men surveyed said that a woman known to have several partners is fully or partly responsible if sexually assaulted, and 28 percent believed that a woman who dresses sexily is wholly or partly responsible for a sexual assault.

I think the results of this study are frightening.
It is unacceptable to blame women who have been exposed to sexual assault and violence.

Kadra attacked in public

Norwegian-Somalian Kadra, who became famous in Norway for exposing imam support of female circumcision, was beaten unconscious on Thursday.

Kadra was attacked and beaten senseless by seven or eight persons of Somali origin.
She said that the Koran's views on women needed to be reinterpreted.
The Islamic Council Norway (IRN) condemned the attack on Kadra and urged that she pursue the matter with police.
