I have not been to India, and am not insulted by it.
Are you claiming to have been to India? If so, why are you so reluctant to clarify what you mean? Why do you play this silly game of 20 questions when you could just plainly state how you meant to be understood? You've admitted it was "Northern Europeans" you believe are self-righteous. In the context of a discussion about attitudes towards rape the natural conclusion would be that you're saying Northern Europeans are self-righteous in regard to rape, but if that's not the case, what are you saying they are self-righteous about? |

At least in some cases the punishment is harder than it would be in Europe: Fem mænd får livstid for gruppevoldtægt af dansk kvinde (TV2, April 16, 2018) "Five men are sentenced to life in prison for gang raping Danish woman." I don't know if the nationality of the victim had anything to do with the sentence. ETA:
