Kathy, you said " if they lost their testicles hopefully in a very painful way, rapes would stop almost the same day a few thousand males lost them."

I personally think it would be a million males who would lose their testicles but as you said, we can get along without those males anyway.

Cassie, I am glad your dads fiance taught you what rape means. I think it takes a woman to know this but in fairness, I think more males would like to see rapist executed than do women.

You said there are a lot of rapes in your area but if rapist were executed, the number of rapes would be very few. Of course there would be a lot fewer males too but that is OK with me.

As I said before, if they lost their testicles hopefully in a very painful way, rapes would stop almost the same day a few thousand males lost them.

If a male rapes a woman and is then executed for doing so, he will not be able to rape anyone else. I am not suggesting he be executed based only upon someone's word as I think there should be evidence he did rape her and that it was forced. Rape is not as much about sex as it is about control so Verner, you do have a point about more women will be killed if the authorities executed rapist so perhaps when a woman kills her attacker, once it is clear he was attacker her, the case should be closed. I personally believe a dead male would be far better than having a woman be forcibly raped. (I would prefer the method the woman in Sudden Impact used to kill her sisters rapist. She shot the offending parts and then waited a moment or two than shot him in the head .

Perhaps we should start teaching males in grade school who the real superior gender is so they can learn to respect girls and women more.
When we consider all violent crime it is usually a male thing. 90% of all violent crime is committed by males and oddly enough, other males are their usually victims. If you are looking for the person who has committed a violent crime, start looking for someone with testicles.

I live in Australia and you barely ever get anyone being raped. Thats just plain BULLSHIT. And Japan? No. That is like, the safest country. I think this list could be the countries with the least amount of rapes?

No, Kathy, actually executing rapist would cause them murder their victims more often, as they would have nothing to lose by then, but could remove a witness, thereby lessening their chances of getting caught and/or convicted. Solution is, let the victims kill the offenders. Shooting them works best.

I have seen many news articles about young girls being raped, including a seven year old girl who was raped by seven males yet little is done about it. Why can we not get laws passed to execute any male who rapes a child and any male or forciably rapes a woman? Is it because they are afraid the male population will drop? If so, can we not get alone just fine without males like these?

Does this data show victims of rape regardless of when the rape occurred (i.e. not necessarily recently, as the title may suggest)?

These numbers seem pretty high, especially when compared to rapes per capita by country:
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap_percap-crime-rapes-per-capita

Why does the US rate high in rapes per capita and lower in rape victims? Does it mean the same rape victims are being raped multiple times more than in other countries?

Is the discrepancy a result of different sources?
