Of course.
The official narrative stems from the idea that rape is only about power not sex, and that "Western" society is more powerful than the rest of the world, so the "West" is more rape-y than the rest of the world.
Or in political terms: capitalism is rape.
All those ideas are wrong, including the idea that rape is
only about power. Rape is heavily connected to certain cultural phenomena, but like many other crimes it's also a crime of
opportunity, not of power. Rapists and sexual harassers are more likely to rape if they know that they can get away with it. Sure, power can help you to get away with your crimes, but social support, peer support and lack of concern can also help you, too.
The "Western" legal system punishes rape and sexual harassment with stiff sentences. "Western" society has a
very dim view of rapists, whoever they are and whoever they may attack. This was an effect of modernization, of recognizing rights to women, of challenging the idea that women are only valuable to society if they're mothers and wives. It was a positive effect of early feminism, among other social developments like liberal democracy, a liberal justice system, etc.
Muslim societies still cling to the traditional view that the first role of a woman is to be a wife and a mother. Single women are seen as a social loss, and single women who signal that they can choose not to marry as an even bigger loss, as social waste.
Social waste can be freely abused: Islam also justifies the idea of slaves and sex slaves. Sure, there's the usual appeal to "moderation" to slaves (because they could become more valuable by converting/being adopted. etc) but the main gist of Islam is enocurage Muslims to multiply and non-Muslims to gradually disappear.
Thus there's the idea that "Westerners" are also a loss, too: they're not part of the community of the faithfuls,, so their only utility is either as potential converts or as sources of income through the "jizyiah" taxes. They're also a social loss, social waste, and at best they can only become second-class citizens.
Single "Western" women are at the bottom of the totem pole of social groups for many traditional Muslims. Women who signal their independence by not obeying to the "modesty" laws of the Quran aren't even valuable as possible converts, so they're basically scum.
The social support for victims of a crime varies according to whether they're part of the "in-group" or the "out-group". This is sadly true in every group. However the dominant "Western" cultural and social developments generally recognize the "in-group" as a very wide range (ideally encompassing the entire humanity), while the legal system applies (or should apply) to anyone equally ragardless of the subjective feelings of those involved.
This just isn't true in Islam. In many branches of Muslim society the social support for single, infidel women who flaunted their indipendence is really low. What's even worse is that Sharia laws codifiy this lack of support and justify it through the Koran.
Single muslims who come from places where they've been told that women are basically only good for potential marriage or as sex slaves and that "Western" women who flaunt their independence aren't marriage material are going to see Western women are pure objects of pleasure to abuse.
If you add in the idea that they can do whatever they want and get away with it, because the police isn't going to react in any meaningful way, it's easy to explain why the Cologne attacks happened, or the reasons for the Rotherham case or for the Malmo attack, or for other events where young Muslims treated Western women like sex slaves.
The rapists in the West have to act out in secret, to hide their tracks, to use whatever influence they have to get away with their crimes. They also don't enjoy any support from society at large if their crimes are exposed.
While in some parts of Western society the "traditional" attitudes are still prevalent,and they were more prevalent until a relatively recent past today in the "West" women who accuse men of rape are generally taken seriously enough these days, at least by society and by the media.
Actually it's the SJW attitude to discourage fact-checking and promote every accusation, no matter how far-fetched, that could eventually lead to less support for people who accuse others of rape.
These SJW double-standards towards Western culture and Islam are appalling. Western people are shamed for past attitudes of people who haven't been alive or influential or decades, rape jokes (maybe tasteless or crude but by themselves inoffensive) attitudes of some fictional characters in some video games, "dongle" jokes (which don't have anything to do with rape), shirts with women on them (no reference to rape), jokes about women's underwear, etc.
Muslim attitudes towards rape victims and women's rights are routinely excused and glossed over because "Muslims are powerless".
It's time to put a stop to the idea that
power and only power is what matters in rape. What really matters isn't power, but
impunity. SJWs, by offering excuses to Muslim rapists and harassers, are becoming rape apologists and part of the real rape culture.
The SJW criticism to jokes, video games, or pop culture are not only inaccurate and sanctimonious, but highly hypocritical.
Muslim attitudes towards women cause real violence and the SJWs are still ranting about the alleged damage of games, jokes and toys.
