1/3 of my Polish female friends have encountered beating, rape in the past. Does it happen so often out there? I know these kind of things happen everywhere but I found it alot with many Polish girls... Is it so common out there or is it just by chance I met with girls who were victimised were mainly from Poland?

Crow:

what means `tend`? you agree or disagree

To put it simply, disagree.

Crow:

Tell me, did you ever heard of term `Serbian Jeb`? See, its ritual rape when female provoke to be raped.

Never heard the term. Is it a 'consentual' act? Kind of like this:
Man: Hi Honey, how was your day?
Woman: Not so bad, the dry cleaners didn't have your pants ready, something about the seamstress not being in last night.
Man: Oh well, no problem. As long as they are ready for the party on Saturday night.
Woman: Yes they should be. Do you feel like raping me tonight?
Man: Can it wait untill after the baseball game? My favourite pitcher is on deck tonight.
Woman: Sure, that will give me time to finish my crossword puzzle.

@abhishek06 Just the fact that you dwell on this subject would give me enough of a reason to think twice if being around you is safe, if I was a girl that is, who knows what you might plan in that sick head of yours. Think about it a lot, you perv? It’s not healthy you know. Perhaps it’s time to get some professional help.

ShortHairSlug, Errr. I was just curious, and hence raised the question. There is nothing wrong about it. I was concerned about the law and order of the country. cut the personal stuff

Grzegorz_: No. Hey ... is this unseen or something? Its all relative. There are things which get reported, and things which don't. There are forms of it, including post marital rape as well. This is certainly a depressing topic ... but surely this is not exactly "uncommon" anywhere, including Poland.

Lodz_The_Boat: Rape is common all over the world my friend ... it is just a great shame. i agree to it. Essentially, rape is act of cowardice

NomadatNet:

Rape is very common all over the world. Laws protecting females everywhere, but, law appliers are usually males, therefore, laws aren't working really. Therefore, victims are usually silent.

My point exactly. I am not accusing that it happens only in Poland but rather I was asking, are the laws over there so weak that girls usually don't report it to Cops and criminals roam around freely.
We can't hide the fact ofcourse that this kind of cowardly and sinful acts are done every where in the world. In some countries, it's worse. But I really expect something more concrete in Europe about safety of women. And I rest my case.

abhishek06:

Why only more in Europe? Its no paradise of the saints in here.

Rape often goes unreported due to many social and psychological reasons. You need to study the matter (big books available) to understand how the whole mechanism work.

The man who does the rape is not a man, but worse than an animal. I cannot imagine how they do it. Disgusting.

By the way, its not anything so particular about Poland that it will make you think specifically of it. You can look into India too and find many more examples ... where you can perhaps understand the scenario better as you are brought up there (isn't it?).

It is done by tyrants, messed up people ... no matter whether he/she is a Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Army or a Mob or rioters ... or a humanoid in the form of a relative/relation.

Malopolanin:

I think its a lame generalization by you. Perhaps some regimes can do this, but it has nothing to do with that religion if closely studied. I don't think their systems are adjustable in the modern world, but just for that I would really not find it right to just hurl any kind of accusation on them.

I've been to a predominantly muslim country as in Bangladesh for some business interest of my ex employer, and found that country interestingly fare in its treatment of both the genders. Call it politics, employment or services. They are developing, but very promising.

Lets just not make a distorted picture just for the sake of hatred. It is not right.

Which roughly means one actual person out of every 10.000 people got raped.
