Five murders of women in one weekend, serial rape of a twelve-year-old by teenagers. The outrage is huge. And of course various women's protection organizations are speaking out. The tenor of their statements is that "toxic masculinity" is to blame for the violence against women.

However, people in the country see things differently. They realize that in the vast majority of cases, it is migrants from Islamic cultures who are the perpetrators here.

ON THE ONE HAND, a friend of the columnist, an Egyptian-born gynecologist from Vienna, a Muslim and a really smart man, explains that women have a high status in Islam.

OTHERWISE, the crime statistics speak a different language: a disproportionate share of violence against women has a migration background.

Patriarchal structures due to mass immigration
Of course, it must be noted that there are also perpetrators of violence among Austrians. Nevertheless, a cultural evolution in this country has led to a decrease in the propensity for violence. Whereas immigrants, traumatized by war and mostly from Islamic areas in which women have a low status, are more at risk.

Feminists should therefore be reminded of this: Patriarchal structures are very much the cause of the violence. However, these phenomena have only become so strong as a result of mass immigration.
