it's better over there 


The New York Times reports in a chilling story that gang rape is estimated to be occurring four times more often in France than it was 20 years ago.

Bias watch: "Many of the boys are raised in closed, traditional families and are hopelessly confused or ignorant about sex; others are simply street toughs."

Holy making excuses for thugs, Batman! "Closed, traditional families" (read: Islamic? There's more in that story to suggest this is so) have been the norm for 99% of the history of humanity, and somehow I don't think gang rapes were occurring as often in "closed, traditional" societies 100 years ago as they are today in France.

These boys weren't so ignorant about sex that they didn't understand why they were waiting in a line 17 people deep to get their dicks near a female. How would knowledge of the human reproductive system or access to condoms (these things which I believe people are generally referring to when they discuss "sexual education", especially in schools) have lessened their willingness to rape someone?

UPDATE: Tacitus calls this another case of NYTimes whitewashing....
