Where can't you get raped in the world? Considering she went to the police for help, it is apparent it didn't really occur to her that she could get arrested for doing so. I guess she didn't know better.
Does the outrageous sense of entitlement she must have felt while down there provoke you?

Tore, there are places that have entirely different conceptions of rape and women's role in society, and this has very real and very practical consequences. It startles me that people are ignorant of this, and it is dangerous to react to this differences with ethnocentric catch-all phrases such as "misogynistic", "sexist", "backwards", etc.
In regards to Dubai - I would've thought it's differences with the west would've been rather well known.

Gee, Trollheart, do you think there might be a reason for their insistence that women not leave the house unless accompanied by a male family member?
