I have to admit there were some outlandish theories being spread around over there. How about this for outlandish! A serial rapist Turkish police officer who attacks women while off-duty.
A snippet from a discussion held on a Turkish based site from members living in Turkey. I never considered the police angle...interesting
".I wonder how she was dressed...as far as I know Istanbul is open minded in that case, but if a nyc girl, with her sexy party outfit would walk somewhere...
I was actually speaking of stories I've read from women who actually live there. I bet for every women born and raised in Turkey who denies oppression, there will be another who agrees oppression exist. This debate can go on and on and on..
