Its definitely true and there's a lot of correlation between sexual assault/misconduct and repression though doing science here is obviously really hard so all I can share is some personal anecdotes.
I see a lot of sex tourists here in Thailand (and Vietnam where I lived previously) from repressed countries like middle east region and India and its scary how badly these people are behaving to the point where they are banned from many sex avenues. I had a fried who basically was a Islam virgin and a complete sexual retard and obviously very promiscuous when detached from that until he managed to grow up in a year or two.
Religious sexual repression is scary. My pet theory is that middle east problems would be solved if every dude was just handed a pocket pussy when they turn 16 lol
I know my comment isn't directly about catholicism but its the same thing no matter which religion is enforcing the repression.
How will that solve being invaded and meddled with for oil and trade routes?
Or 2000 years ago, being invaded and meddled with for frankincense and trade routes?
2000 years ago would've been the Romans, Christianity much less Catholicism simply didn't exist at that time. And I think Morocco conquered Andalusia before the crusades. By like 400 years.
Because it takes a special psychological state for people to contribute to these actions. Sexual repression highly contributes to creating such mental states.
I don't think the Greek and Roman pagans were known for sexual repression and yet they engaged in wars and conquests, including of the Middle East and Arabia. Neither were the Arab pagans they conquered and invaded. It has always been about resources and access to them.
Ugh your strawman is 2,000 years old!
So what you claim is that people resist invasions only because they are sexually repressed? Is that what’s happening in Ukraine?
Somehow you are capable of understanding fighting back against invaders when it is the Ukrainians but not when it is Arabs or Afghans. I wonder why?
Some people are victims of their geography, that’s it.
PS: it is called proof by contradiction, not a strawperson.
PSS: nothing changed in 2000 years, just replace Rome with the USA and frankincense with oil
