college professor blames women for rape

Norway white women are being raped in vast amounts. What I could not believe, was that this college prof. is blaming the women!

Unni Wikan, a professor of social anthropology at the University of Oslo, in 2001 said that “Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for these rapes” because Muslim men found their manner of dress provocative"

Um, are you kidding me? Its their fault?

Nun or Prostitute, no women is responsible for being raped.  Don't care if she's buck naked or covered head to toe.  When are these people going to figure out that rape has nothing to do with being "turned on" or even sex.  It's just the weapon used to humiliate and degrade.  So I wonder what he would have said had these women been stabbed or something?  Would they still have brought it on themselves?  What a fruitcake. How much you wanna bet this guy hates women.

This guy is nuttier than squirrel poop!  I've heard about this story a while back.  Well, I'm not real sure of the science involved regarding what the good professor professes, but it seems slightly of cue.  Unfortunately, some sources for higher education tend to profess on opinion rather than science.

Back in high school, we were studying the Viet Nam War.  My teacher had served in the army during the war and certainly had his own opinion of what actually happened.  We had an assigned reading project and a lecture and quiz to follow the following day.  As he began the lecture, he contradicted the reading assignment 2 times.  When I called him on it, he went on a tirade...."You don't know!  I was there! You've misread or misunderstood the reading assignment!"  

He went on to further try to embarrass me.  (Kind of tough to do.)  I immediately found the contradiction in print and asked if I could bring it to his podium.  He kind of laughed it off.  When I handed him the book, he looked at it for about 1 minute..... he couldn't believe what he was reading..... he went on to apologize that he had the dates confused and his "opinion" would have affected the outcome of the quiz results.  

He was kind enough to apologize and allowed me to either take a 85% or take the test for a better score.  I took the 85%..... history was not a strong point.

Maybe they want every woman to wear a burka.
But you can't tell me that it would stop rape,even nuns have been raped,women who are very conservative are raped,women in their 70s and 80s have been raped,I don't think they were dressed provocatively.
And what about innocent children that are raped are they been provocative,
Give me a break, this guy is sick.

Wow, I can't believe he is blaming the women. It doesn't matter how they dress, they didn't want to have sex and he forced them to. It does amaze me that this is in a college as well, where supposedly this is a very educated man.

I think it has more to do with out of control hormones and a very large ego. Mixed with a low self image and a need for power and control.
