if they had gone to India, Pakistan and other Asian countries, not just asian pacific countries, the numbers would have been much higher. Even as it is, 40k men is not much, if they had made a more widespread research over all population classes I'm sure the numbers would have been much higher than that.
Where are the feminists fighting for womens' right in these countries? Ah yes, nowhere. Because there is no white male patriarchy there and because it's real work to be done... real hard work and real issues. And you don't have the tolerant and equal societies that only western civilization has produced.
A quarter of men surveyed in six countries in the Asia-Pacific region have admitted to committing rape. The prevalence of rape varied widely between locations, according to a UN report.
In the first regional study of its scale, "Why Do Some Men Use Violence Against Women and How Can We Prevent It?," researchers interviewed more than 10,000 men aged between 18 and 49 in Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea. Authors said they did not intend for the survey to serve as an authoritative statistical overview of rape in these six countries or of the Asia-Pacific region.
"The study was premised on the well-documented hypothesis that violence against women is a manifestation of unequal gender relations and harmful manifestations of hegemonic masculinity governed by patriarchal beliefs, institutions and systems," according to the report, which was funded by several UN agencies, as well as Australia, Britain, Norway and Sweden and released Tuesday in the journal Lancet Global Health.
Teenagers made up about half the men who admitted to rape, with 12 percent younger than 15 years old. Forty-five percent of the men who admitted to rape said they had assaulted more than one woman. The majority said they had not faced any legal consequences for their actions.
