Rape The Gay Away

[Arcade22]

JOHANNESBURG: A 13-year-old girl has become the latest victim of ''corrective rape'' as the trend of violent attacks on lesbians shows no signs of letting up.

''The government condemns this senseless and cowardly act of criminality,'' a department of justice spokesman, Tlali Tlali, said in a statement.

''Gay and lesbian rights are human and constitutional rights which must be protected and respected at all times,'' he said, promising a police investigation and assistance to the girl and her family.

The latest victim was said to have been open about her sexuality and was raped on Thursday in Pretoria, presumably as an act of ''corrective rape'' - so called, when men rape a woman to try to ''fix'' her homosexual orientation.

No mention in the article on whether the treatment was successful or not...

That's what I'm wondering. Do we have enough data?

See, they're already heading in the wrong direction by implying that the girl's sexual orientation makes this a 'special' case different from other rapes. Rape is rape, the victim's orientation isn't a mitigating circumstance.

I didn't read it that way. I see the which referring to "human and constitutional rights."

"Gay and lesbian rights are human and constitutional rights. Human and constitutional rights must be protected and respected at all times."

I'm sure that treatment made her love men now, all right.

Good point. Should get women to rape her next time.

Except that if she was raped because of her sexual orientation, then the crime is different from another rape. Why? Because the underlying cause of the problem is different. If I burn down your house because I like lighting fires, that's one thing, if I burn down your house because you refused to pay extortion money, that's an entirely different problem, with different solutions.

Treating one type of problem as though it were the same as another is a recipe for failure.

I propose a course of "corrective shooting" for the rapist.

Aiming about 2 feet below the heart?

My only criticism is that the author didn't troll readers a bit more, cause there was a perfect opportunity:

He said:

In the staunchly traditional military culture, it’s an ugly secret

Insensitive Trollols:

In the staunchly, raunchy traditional military culture, it’s an ugly secret

Corrective castration should be enough.

Can we "gay" the rape away? I think I'd prefer that.

It's posts like these that make me wish JREF had a Facebook-style "Like" system for posts which nearly get you into trouble for laughing at work.

Sure, sure. Maybe you meant to say Welcome to the Republic of South Africa.

Africa has a long history of violence, sexual and otherwise.

Africa has a long history of violence, sexual and otherwise.

And North America has a long history of genocide and racism...
