Do you actually live in a European country where harassment and catcalling is in majority committed by Arabs/North African people? Do you actually know what it’s like? Do you think we’re making it up? You’re refusing to listen to what several posters have said: harassment and catcalling are predominantly a North…

All good white-guilt-ridden Gawker/Jezebel “progressives” have faith in their bleeding hearts that Arabs and Muslims never do anything wrong and can’t possibly organize anything.

“Immigrants in Germany are overrepresented in crime statistics. In Berlin, young male immigrants are three times more likely to commit violent crimes than their German peers.^[17] The crime rate of immigrants is at first glimpse about 5 times higher than that for Germans (4.9 : 1). A differentiated analysis of the…

Reminds me of the San Bernardino attacks...so many comments saying “I hope it’s a white guy” or “please don’t be Muslim”. Too many people worried about their own ideologies being proven right.

I agree. I live in Austria and have never felt so uncomrfotable walking through certain areas of the city of Vienna, which are typically migrant neighbourhoods of Middle eastern background. It is both a migrant and a male issue, since migrants are taking with them extremely dangerous patriarchal attitudes, not…

I consider myself fairly liberal actually, I just don’t stick my head in the sand to protect my ideology.

It’s not an immigration issue OR a male issue.

it’s a term used in german language (maybe in english too?) - it means that you are less critical towards people when they are foreigner. I have experienced that among so called left winged/left alternative people a lot “oh no, he/she is just from another culture - they just do it like that there” - like even if a guy…

Ok, maybe it’s a problem with brown men in general then?

OK fine.

so when it doesn’t agree with your world view it’s not true?

From the BBC: “What is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organised. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women.”http://www.bbc.com/news/world-eur…

White women can’t be raped by POC. Rape = unwanted sexual contact + power.

I tell you I come from the middle east, and when someone tells me that our culture is not more macho blabla I feel SO disrespected, because I feel treated like a small child that can’t take criticism. Taking my culture seriously means judging it according to the same standards everyone else is judged. My mom, my…

This is true. When I was living in Europe, the worst street harassment I ever experienced was from Middle Eastern, Arab and African men. I wish it weren’t the case but it’s true.

And it should be fucking scary to western nations that such education is necessary.

It is, in general. But in this case you can’t ignore the immigration angle because of the sheer volume of men involved (over 1000) and because police suspect these attacks were organised, possibly on social media, and that is what they’re trying to establish right now. They literally swarmed these women systematically…

I don’t think most right wing people think that at all. I think that is a straw man and you know it.

It IS an immigration issue. When I get hit on in a really disrespectful way here in western europe, it is almost always from men from the middle east or nothern africa. Their culture IS more patriarchal - denying that is just positive racism. I am sorry, I grew up in a middle eastern family, I know the culture at…

But an overwhelming fuckton of offenders are men.
