1 in 4 South African Men Admit to Rape

[Snugglebear]

Rape linked to manhood in South Africa

Daily headlines of rapes point to botched investigations and more humiliation for women.

On Monday, the daily newspaper The Star carried a front-page story about a convicted rapist given a four-year jail sentence.

The judge said he was being lenient because the perpetrator was "well-educated" and his victim was "a grown-up woman" who had been hitchhiking.

yeah, sounds like the common execution method ever since the fourth century when they invented rubber car tires.

Rape is pretty much how it gets done in the rest of the animal kingdom - I doubt lions and zebras practice long courtship periods.

Did I just compare blacks to animals? Maybe I did.

P.S. Although white colonialists "raped" the land of South Africa for 400 years - I doubt they were teaching them how to rape women. Like jayrebb pointed out, that sort of thing is just culturally accepted there amongst the "Zulus"

I have read it, and I'm not the only one who has problems with the book. Its not God's gift to man about why whitey is doing so well. There's certainly plenty of criticism for it.

Additionally, the "1 in 4" statistic is bogus. Its one thing for 1 in 4 MEN to admit they raped a woman, and something completely different to say 1 in 4 women have been raped.

Rape Statistics: Are 1 in 4 women raped? Skeptical analysis. | AspiringEconomist.com is an interesting read.

Specifically,
"Have you had sexual intercourse when you didn’t want to because a man gave you alcohol or drugs?

An affirmative answer was counted as rape. In other words, a women who regretted a one night stand after a night of drinking was considered as having been sexually assaulted. The ambiguous nature of the questions and inclusive definition of rape is evident from the following statistics. Only 27 percent of the women Koss counted as having been raped identified themselves as rape victims."

So OF the alleged 1 in 4, about 1 in 4 OF THOSE think they were raped, and the rest don't think so. If you don't think you were raped, shouldn't we say...you probably weren't?

You're wrong about that.

mammal reproductive sex is consensual most of the time, getting some is just a lot easier even than picking up some ho at a bar.

Well, you sound like you know your animal kingdom sex. So I'll take your word for it

This man knows his animal kingdom.

[Quineloe]

you never watch the national geographic type documentaries?

[Araysar]

Which animals are your favorite?

[Chrisb3]

Yeah I've never seen rape on an animal documentary, either there's some hierarchy or other method where female chooses the strongest mate.

There are probably a few species like that (I think ducks or something reproduce via gang rape?), but generally there's some kinda alpha male/female or mating ritual thing.

Domestic Cats reproduce through Rape + Gang Banging.

Rather than fight the female becomes submissive and lets multiple males have their way, litters can have mixed fatherhood.

That is A LOT of information.

Sociobiological theories of rape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wow, I'm amazed how many scientists are against the view of rape in animals on the moral grounds that it some how legitimizes it in humans. That's a pretty clouded viewpoint going against the scientific method.

The female porcupine has been observed to use a stick as a dildo, holding one end of a stick and walking around, straddling it as it bumped against the ground and vibrated against her genitalia

Many birds masturbate by mounting and copulating with tufts of grass, leaves or mounds of earth, and some mammals such as primates and Dolphins also rub their genitals against the ground or other surfaces to stimulate themselves.

Good stuff.
