  I’m obviously not trying to say women are incapable of violence but its a very different thing for violence to be encouraged or acceptable by peers than for individuals to act violently. For instance old social norms from the 50s in American made it acceptable to beat your wife.

  Is it a newer thing? Is it more common in some countries than others? I’m in my 30s and I can’t recall this being a social norm when I grew up. I remember men being aggressive with other men sort of being accepted as inevitable but still frowned upon.

  It would be a lot easier to combat other country’s propaganda if citizens were able to travel to or at least communicate with other countries. Why won’t the government allow them to do that? There isn’t any non-tyrannical reason to censor all media in and out of the country.

  OK, just in case you don’t understand their argument I’m just going to state it plainly.

  They’re saying that because of different social factors in extremely conservative countries women do not feel comfortable reporting rapes because of societal backlash. They are comparing this situation to your self-reported data on the perceptions of democracy in different countries.

  Basically, they’re implying you can’t trust the data you showed because there’s outside factors affecting the truthfulness of the self-reported perceptions.
