By a Christian Sicilian. This is around 30 years ago by the way.
My friend is a Italian-American, Sicilian to be specific. She took a trip to Italy alone once and stayed with relatives in the family hometown. She decided to take a nice long walk one day by herself. Do you know what a putana is? Proper respectable Sicilian women do not walk the streets alone. Only putanas do. Those men were trying to pick her up. If she got approached by a guy that wouldn't take no for an answer, she could have gotten raped. And as you already very well know in the courts of Italy, they would have just said she was asking for it. Because if she wasn't a putana, she shouldn't have been walking around like one.
Do not begin to try to pretend to tell me that you do not know your own culture.
For crying out loud, try watching some Italian movies. There's always always a scene where a guy is smacking the shit out of a woman. Always. They treat their women like crap over there. In fact, according to a poll several years ago, Italy is the only country in the world where more women claim to cheat on their men than men claim to cheat on the women. The only country. In the world. They say they're meant a great flirts, really romantic, but that's where it ends, they don't care for them otherwise.
