🇦🇹 Austria General Discussion

[President Johnson]

Although I'm not a fan of Sebastian Kurz and his government coalition, but I fully support the decision to take on political Islam and expell some problematic preachers. That sends a strong signal that anyone who wants to welcome in Europe must respect the rule of law and basic things such as women's rights. I wish Germany would be much tougher on this whole subject as well. It would also weaken the AfD nutjobs.

As already said, was probably not an immigrant but a truck driver. Nevertheless, I don't understand how a young woman can voluntarily and alone go on board a truck with a man regardless of nationality. I'd never allow my girlfriend to do this, neither do I know a young woman doing this. Better to spend a few bucks and take the train, which is much safer. Like I will never get it why some young women walk home alone at night. Even I try to avoid it.

Ya might want to rephrase that.

Well, a stranger of course. Not me.

Austria has among the highest share of women being murder victims (2016 numbers):



This year, 90% (!) of murder victims were women.

On the other hand, our overall murder rate is extremely low when compared internationally.

This is mainly due to violence within relationships/marriages. Germany just recently had a public discussion on this. A relationship or marriage is, as sad as it is, statistically a dangerous thing for women. Far more than the stranger from outside.
