Just don't get guided by the tables with only those Alliance members, who actually made it into the European Parliament, on this page. For instance, only Sylwia Spurek is mentioned there for Poland - a terrible choice IMHO [1], while there's the Pirate Party in Poland (https://polskapartiapiratow.pl/) too.

[1] For example, while being the Vice Commissioner for Human Rights (vice ombudswoman) in Poland, she stated that "It is worth, first of all, stating a few facts. First, violence has a gender, whether we want it to or not. Women and children are the victims, and men are the perpetrators." (video transcript translated with https://www.deepl.com, source in Polish: https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/dr-sylwia-spurek-przemoc-ma-...).




In Poland, women are probably more often the victim than men, but in U.S., reported statistics are very surprising.

> men and women were equally likely to experience nonconsensual sex, and most male victims reported female perpetrators. [1]
