Exactly my point. Despite the ridiculous change in Swedish law that classifies looking sideways at a woman as rape, that click bait headline saying that 1 in 4 women have been raped is an egregious lie, more appropriate for MSM than for good meme work.

In case anyone’s having trouble with the math, 1 in 4 would be 25,000 cases per 100,000 people. Unless of course women are less than 3% of the population.
 
While definitely clickbaity, if you do look at the Wikipedia statistics, the rates are going up. As are the rates of perpetrators that are foreigners in general and born outside of Europe in particular.

The math is still way off - I think - but the cases per 100,000 is per year. So over a lifetime your odds go way way up.
 
Now I’m no mathematical genius, but something is wrong with the math here.
The 25% is a projected number. They are saying 25% of the women will be raped in their lifetime. The number per 100,000 in the meme is an annual crime reporting number. It's not saying 25% of the women will be raped every year, just at some point in their life they will be. It also doesn't factor in women that will be raped multiple times. If they are being victimized at a rate of 5.6% of the population per year it would be easy to see how 25% of the population would be victimized in their lifetime.

The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (In Swedish: Brottsförebyggande rådet or Brå for short) has stated that there were 23 200 sexual crimes reported to the police in 2019, of which 8 820 (38.0%) were rapes and aggravated rapes [3]. According to the annual Swedish Crime Survey for 2019, it was estimated that 5.6% of the total population between 16 and 84 years old (n = 452 000) had been a victim of sexual crimes.

So, the rate has risen from 5.6% in 2019 to to 25% by 2023, of the total female population?

Also, by definition of their new laws, that statistic might not be too different here.

There’s an old saying: figures don’t lie, but liars figure. Said another way, statistics are lies, more lies, and damn lies.
 
Sure, when you consider that a wife wanting to get rid of her husband can claim she has been raped 30 times a month with no recourse for the male. Uh huh, sounds legit to me.
Haha - I'm sure that's what it is - those damn Swedish wives claiming to be raped by their husbands. Has nothing to do with a muslim invasion, nothing at all.
