Oh, I'm saying that as a feminist. 
I would agree with you. It does not seem that this is a singular thought in Sweden either
https://www.barritrad.com/swedish-feminists-please-dont-protect-us-get-raped-immigrants/It is what I was saying before. Being liberal and open and inclusive and accepting, are great ideals. But there has to be a want to protect yourself. If as a nation your ideological and cultural forces push a want to do these things and minimise harm to your citizens....its kind of a big deal.
The risk of being called a bigot for pointing out uncomfortable truths in such an environment seems to me to be a risk worth taking.
Pretending that there is never any real issue worth addressing does not seem the better option. Saying "Being called the rape capital of the world is undeserved" is A way of dealing with the issue but not the best way. Giving out "Don't grope braclets" as a way of highlighting the issue of the sexual assaults and rapes at Swedish music concerts and finding out at the end the 4 rapes and 30 sexual assaults were by men wearing said bracelets". To have "groping guards" in a swimming pool specifically to stop immigrants from sexually assault young girls and women, before decided that does work and resorting to gender segregated times at the swimming pool to stop this happening, is terrible.
What is worse is to say there is no real issue. What is worse is to collectively and as a nation fail to protect the women and children of the nation from a real threat based on an ideology. Though the falling furniture analogies was never particularly clever.
This is certainly not to say that all Muslims rape. It is not going close to saying that. It IS saying that whilst there is moderate Muslims wanting to adopt the host country's customs and values and assimilate and integrate into the society, there is a scary dangerous element that does not. These people ARE a problem and minimising their effect on a nation is outrageously bad. Comparing their effect to falling furniture or distracting with gun violence, is crazy.
If though we can accept that in many countries (and Sweden is notable but not exclusive) in Europe are having this issue with poorly vetted Muslim migrants and issues of Muslims (unlike the moderate respectful Muslims wanting to make the host nation their home), then it would be crazy for someone from a country that is now facing such terrible problems to advise or condemn another country's harsh proposal for border protection.
Open and inclusive and accepting only goes so far before it gets taken advantage of.
Belgium is hardly in a position to scold other countries for example on their heightened airport screening. Germany would be remiss if they tried to tell other countries how to keep women and girls safe on New Years Eve celebrations.
The "well, our country may have gone to Hell but at least we did not compromise of values or give the impression that we were racist, xenophobic or Islamaphobic" doesn't impress me much. I think even were you to compromise on such values, the country's citizens are more important and the ability to address real problems. We do that in Australia too.
Its all about minimising harm (in the form of better vetting and zero tolerance policies) and being willing to identify actual issues as they come up (before you have to disclaim international media headlines about your country).
ponds from now on.
