Rise of a corrective rapesa on lesbians in South Africa

A new report has suggested a rise in 'corrective rapes' on lesbians in South Africa. According to charity ActionAid, women in Johannesburg and Cape Town are suffering an increase in homophobic attacks and sexual assaults which are seen as a form of punishment or "cure". One lesbian and gay support group says it is dealing with 10 new cases of lesbian women being targeted for ‘corrective’ rape every week in Cape Town alone. Figures suggest there are an estimated 500,000 rapes in South Africa every year and for every 25 men accused of rape in the country, 24 walk free. The report, titled Hate Crimes, claims that victims often report that their attackers say they are "teaching them a lesson" or showing them how to be a "real woman".

what a convenient excuse to rape someone. that'll teach her to be attracted to women. now she knows what a REAL man is. every rapist should be de-balled and have their dick cut off to a stub. and of course locked up till the rest falls off. tired of self-entitled men who think all they have to do is shake their dick and the world should fall to their feet. their self-entitlement to cheat, rape, bully, ridicule, not supporting their children and get out of any type of domestic chores. what use are they really? oh that's right, they have a dick!!!!!

Disarm rapists. If the women would travel in groups, shoot the rapist in the knees, and as the rapist in crying in pain on the ground, cut his penis off, and stuff it into his mouth, I bet the rapes would stop.

Yes, but for heavensake don't mistake everyone that approaches you as a rapist, maybe he was just going to ask you for a street or to light up his cigarette, can't see him ending up without a penis for doing so. Though if you see someone like Niccuh he probably deserves it. That's Woman Power for you.

And I bet the evilgelicals support this action. After all the most conservative demands in religion are coming from where??? Africa and S. America. Highly Catholic and or missionary served. This is what happens when religious control freaks force religion and destroy culture in the name of .....

You can no more "bang" the gay out of someone than you can "bang" the gay into them.

I am what I am and that's all that I am....said Popeye the very str8 sailor man....And in as flippant as that is, that is just the way folks are. Some fall on different places on the Kinsey's scale. And no matter what outside forces do, it just can't change what is on the inside. These "former gay" folks can marry the opposite, have children...but it still doesn't change what is in the hearts and minds.

And remember RAPE is a crime of violence which involves sexual contact.

Totally bogus statement.Evangelicals do not support rape in any form for any reason.Every human being has a right to choose their path in life.We may not agree with certain choices people make,but to violate their person,and do physically harm to an individual because they are "gay" is a crime in our book.Rape is just as much a sin as murder.Many evangelicals believe that according to the crime of rape,even a death sentence is appropriate.If a child is raped,the man should be put to death ,that is strong but especially in cases where the man rapes and kills a child,why should he not be put to death.Lesbian women being raped in Africa,by your typical chauvinist male dominant person is no surprise.It is surprising that these kinds of crimes in a male-dominant setting are not more often committed.You really are hateful of Christians to think that we would encourage rape in any form.The perpetrators of all crimes are punished by law,rapists are included.MALE dominant societies are your problem,not the religious structures allowed to propagate in those regions.The fact that in Africa rapists are not prosecuted for raping lesbian women,is a scandalous blight against that society themselves.Some African men think if they rape a virgin,their AIDS will disappear.Anal sex is rampant in Africa now,wonder how come so many Africans are getting AIDS?The churches are not putting them up to it.SIN is free will sir,and that is the bottom line to all of this misery human beings foist on one another.

There is a big difference with disagreeing with a person,and hating them for their life choice.People have been killed thoughout history because they were not the right color,religion or political bias.The majority may have claimed that they were a certain religion,and justified their vicious acts of prejudice,but that does not mean that scripture or the Bible supported their crime.The fact that African men are raping lesbians,and children is all to do with MALE dominance,and superiority.An ego of the flesh nature,that does not adhere to religious commandments.We see chauvinism everywhere,and in each spectrum of all societies.The male ego has always been a problem,why so many divorces in this world? Much to the result of the MALE ego,and treating women as though they are second-class citizens,not as a partner,and definitely not as an equal.NOT saying that women cannot cause a rift in a marriage or relationship,but the majority of divorces and relationships falter due to the male egotistical pride.All based in the human nature of SIN.Not just conjecture!
