They ranked Australia as #1.

How quickly they forget that Australia had a rape epidemic and the numbers are still nauseatingly high.

A glaringly obvious oversight like this makes me question their methodology

I have a slightly different take, where America ranking #10 vs #1 is understandable and maybe even preferable. Consider the risk/return tradeoff in investing:

Low-risk assets like cash also yield little return. In contrast, high-yielding assets also carry higher risk.

So, sure, Australia may be #1 - but firearms and concealed-carry are a Dream in Australia. That is the same with most other countries in the top ten.

Thus, the REAL question should be....what are women giving up in countries 1-9 in terms of freedom to defend themselves vs outsourcing it to the state or society?

There were a rash of Muslim rapists in Australia, not sure that is so bad a problem now that the girls have become warier.

Aboriginal men beating and raping Aboriginal women and children in the villages is all too common.

All these rating are political and overall bullcrap.
