'Take That!'

What do you do when you're a group of under-sexed and homophobic men, to get back at the world which has treated you so harshly? Why, you rape a lesbian of course!

Yes, the statement above is a very harsh one, but apparently there has been an increase of so-called 'Corrective Rape' in South Africa. There are groups of young men who have the audacity to rape somebody who is different from them and tell them while the deed is being orchestrated, that their misfortune is due to the fact that they have a different sexual orientation from their heroic saviors. Under the docket of 'truth-being-stranger-than-fiction' the ramifications of this act are bewildering and saddening. Not only do you have to deal with the daily persecutions of an unforgiving society, but now you have to fear for your life that somebody has taken up the creed to try and rescue you from your 'lifestyle.'

Now, common sense would dictate that this would be the last thing that any person with half a brain would attempt to do to purge somebody of their sexual misgivings. If anything, raping a lesbian will only make them more steadfast in their conviction of seeing men as useless brutes. Great thinking boys, you fail at life. Really what is going on is that you are a sadistic maniac who lacks the fortitude to look at the problems within your own life and the fact that perhaps, out there in the world, there may be nice people who are, yes, different from you and want to be left alone. That would be too easy wouldn't it.
At least have the balls to admit that you just like victimizing people and leave that 'corrective measures' claptrap to the American evangelicals who run conversion therapy summer camps. For even in that depravity, it's a bit more funny and less troubling.

One does have to wonder though, if male homosexuals in South Africa are receiving the same curative treatment...
