      Less because of that PRECISELY, and more likely because the culture of machismo (which is sort of what allows this to happen) is much more pervasive there.

          No, you actually don’t, not if you don’t consider it rape. That’s the machismo bit - to these people, they’re simply “taking” what they’re “owed”. It’s why rape is so prevalent in fundamentalist religious communities here in the US - if your religion or your culture tells you that women exist solely to be subservient to men in every way, then it’s not rape to have sex with them even against their will (by that logic), because they’re made to serve men, whenever, wherever.
