I somewhat agree. The rape in and of itself is as tragic and painful to every victim. But I think the difference is societies take on the crime. It victims are belittled to the point that a given society thinks the rape is justified the victim is now a victim twice. Which is why numerous rapes in the US go unreported. The harshness of the trial only makes them twice victims.
Sadly its not limited to just one society.. It happens in nearly every so-called "civilised" society around the world.. Very few do anything to help or protect the victims of rape..

In SA it was getting so bad that new female condoms were invented. A woman would wear it , and on the inside where the penis enters spikes splay out and into the attacker.

I don't agree with this because it seems the attacker would be in so much pain that he would harm the victim further.edit on 7-5-2011 by donatellanator because: (no reason given)

I want to get in your pants but I can't because you are a lesbian so I'm going to rape you and tell you I'm just trying to show you how wonderful being straight is. Forget that I'm forcing you, you should still enjoy it. You were raised by misinformation and ignorance and I am enlightening you with this experience.edit on 7-5-2011 by Wang Tang because: (no reason given)

How?
Come on....if anything, the men would lay there crying and bleeding and more crying. Guys already cry like babies when you kick them between the legs, just imagine what that thing will do to them. He won't have the chance to do any physical harm. The only way this thing could backfire would be in a gangrape because you would only take out one guy but anger all the others. That wouldn't end very good.
I'm always shocked when i read about what is going on in Africa. It's not only Souh Africa where nearly every third woman gets raped.
It may sound racist, but i really do wonder, what is wrong with black men. Even here in munich we had 3-4 cases of african guys raping women in the past years. I get the impression that something is wrong with them mentally.

If it's true, it's true. How "racist" it may seem is simply not relevant. I'm aware that there are exceptions as well as rules, but if Blacks are apparently much more prone to this type of thing that Whites are, then.....well, that's just reality. How is pointing out reality "racist"?
Do you know anything about crime statistics? Do you have to deal with "diversity"? If not, please.....

Sorry if I am being a bit argumentative. I will stop posting to this thread as I have a hard time not getting enraged. My final point is this. Rape is horrible regardless of region, gender, sexuality. I just don't see how we can point the finger at another country when our own numbers are staggering. Let's not sweep our own atrocities under a rug. While the aggression and crime against women in SA is truly sickening. So are the statistics in the US. It should all be stopped. World wide. We must realize the extent of our own problems in order to make corrections. It is an ugly truth.

Did you see the stats for 2009? 90.000 RAPES?!!!!!!
I understand our population is around 350million, give or take, but that number makes me want to jump off a bridge. Those are 90.000 shattered lives a year.
