I know here in Iceland women are very strong minded and I can see why Iceland would be listed #10, not because rape is a problem in Iceland but because when they do occur the girls/women are way more likely to report it. In Iceland its such a small nation, being known as a rapist is a seriously tough thing to carry around, so its extra incentive to report these a**hats.

I was going to post about this.
Something about Saudi Arabia being last on the list and having a per capita rate of rape 220 times less than Canada seems a little off...
