The fact that they're even willing to admit it in such large numbers suggests they don't see it as something to be ashamed of. .

What a fucked up view of women:

"In rural areas, when a boy wants to become a man, he may go to an enemy village and kill a pig to be accepted as an adult, while in the cities "women have replaced pigs".[12] Moses, who claimed to have raped more than 30 women himself, said, "And it is better if a boy kills her afterwards, there will be less problems with the police"."
