That said, me and Ravens were just answering the query of another member. Some people on this forum are a little bit too smugly self-righteous for their own good. Obviously this is a terrible crime, and I really don't see the need to be posting something so bloody obvious as that apart from to give yourself a pat on the back for saying something good and obvious. I donate money to various trusted organizations that defend women's rights. I sure hope you lot do something other than post diatribes and criticisms of other users on forums.

What is the Khmer translation for = smug, self righteous, condescending virtue signaler? Asking for a friend.

I know you are active, Roz, I'm just trying to point out that yours and Chad's comments regarding our discussion of a relevant word were completely unproductive here.

Could you be more insensitive??? Sometimes saying nothing at all is the best response.

Quite a bit of research on the subject, just a small sample of articles to start:

Study looks at 'bauk' - gang-rape of prostitutes

Nobody can say for sure how long the practice of gang raping (or bauk) prostituteshas been known in Cambodia.
Tong Soprach, who has been interviewing victims and perpetrators for the CARE International Playing Safe Project (PSP), says the word bauk seems to have appeared in the language in 1998, but he first heard about the practice at high school in 1996.

Gang rape exposition

Evidence for young, male involvement in pre-meditated gang rapes on women (not only
commercial sex workers), has been provided by several research initiatives undertaken
on behalf of Population Services International, Gender and Development for Cambodia,

World Health Organisation, Womyn's Agenda for Change and CARE International in Cambodia.
Up until this point, all such research has been limited to Phnom Penh. The CARE International
study, Gang Rape: The Perspectives of Moto-Taxi-Drivers across Cambodia provides
a country wide rapid assessment on the extent of this human rights issue.

Here's a disturbing phenomenon that the hard hitting journalist 'Traveling Jezebel' could sink her teeth into.

Naw, not as click-baity as dredging up the outdated, old paradigm of the 'skeevy westerner in SEA' paradigm.
