another heartwrenching woman's issue

Wow. I weight under 165 pounds... think I'll meet the criteria? Oh wait... virginity. Damn. :retard:

Is this guy the complete epitome of un-sexy, or what? :sick:

Not to mention that many people are still brought up thinking that men are the more superior gender and that women are only good for having children and cooking.

So they think it's OK for them to do crap like that.

the first part is true. but I think even chauvanist pigs dont like the idea of rape. The guy is a loser. I wonder if it was him that bid on himself

Unfortunately cases like that are rather common in Africa. We've had cases where girls attack each other on school grounds & the attackers will 'rape' their victim using all kinds of instruments, ranging from sharpened pencils to bottles. It's one thing to say that we should take a stand & fight back against the men doing these sort of deeds, but I think it takes on another dimension when it's a woman perpetrating the crime.

In one case we had a woman was ganraped in a deserted building, her attackers then burnt her eyes shut with a heated clothes iron to prevent her from being able to identify them.

Last week there was a case of a 21 year old AIDS activist who was gang raped, after she told her attackers that she was HIV positive they beat her to death in the toilet of the bar where they had raped her. I can't help but feel that in some cruel justice they will now be infected with the HI virus........unfortunately with the way things are in SA at the moment it will most likely lead to an innocent girl being raped & infected with the virus (there is a belief among some in SA that sex with a virgin will cure AIDS - it's a cultural belief that has lead to many child rapes etc - I'm disgusted to be part of the same society as these animals).
 
mmm...that is a good point AT :eh:

When I posted this it was the gang mentality that struck me...well rather the militarygang mentality...we hear of it time and time again and it never stops...militants going from village to village plundering and killing and raping the innocents...I just really cannot fathom that it's still going on...just wishing in my own little pink world that somehow someway the innocents would come to find a way to rise up and fight against it. :(

it is a woman's issue. men have been "in charge" long enough, and nothing's changed at the end of it. it still happens ALL the time. jail, death, lynching, there is no justice, ever, for that.

we ALL need to start carrying hammers around with us and pounding the FUCK out of these men.

Boys and Men get raped too. It's not just a women's issue. It's not even a sex issue most of the time. Rape is a control/power issue.

Just my 2 cents worth.

As for hammers... they're not that efficient as weapons. Too easy to disarm someone with a hammer. Try stun-guns. Small, good for close quarters and when he's down...you get to play for once.
 
Regarding the topic at hand. War is hell! It's not a nice little excercise governed by rules.

Rape, pilliging and murder are part and parcel of war. Innocents die or worst during war. What bothers me is that this particular war went on for so long before it was stopped or even noticed.

There are wars going on all the time...mostly ignored by the planet at large.
It isn't until the First World either takes notice or takes action that the war actually exists!

This war in the congo didn't start yesterday. There are an estimated 3 MILLION deaths!!!

3 MILLION DEATHS!!!! - and we're talking about rape and wether it's a women's issues only ?!?

Just in case you weren't reading the first two times.

3,000,000 people dead... in a war that nobody's talking about until now.

Call the UN. Isn't this precisely why they were invented?

They already knew...that's why they're there now...trying to clean up after the war stopped on its own.

Anyone know how long this war's been going on?

How long have they known & done nothing? (a/k/a Rwanda)

Dunno...just found out myself. It didn't make the news and I didn't see it on the internet. It wasn't popular enough for the media to event give it a blurp.

The UN probably knew about it within a month of the war beginning.
Therefore, most of the world's GVTs knew...none of them did anything about it.
Not important enough, I guess. They're only poor, starving, AIDS-ridden, oil-poor Africans.
Shame really...now, what's going on in IRAQ again?
 
I've known about all this, dunno where you all have been :tardbang:

this would be just one of the examples of why I don't fall for the "oh aren't we wonderful we went to stop human suffering bullshit being spewed everywhere lately" :shrug:

Bish, i picked on this one aspect of the issue having heard, felt helpless and cried about the wars, the entire situation, all of it for years and years and years, it not having dawned on me that people with this level of information gathering wouldn't have heard about the wars as yet. This is the human suffering that rampaging like this causes...maybe sadly we can't stop the wars, but it'd sure be nice if we women could somehow figure out a way to stop this one means of torture of those like ourselves.

there are quite a bit of wars going on that isnt being covered.
 
Leslie is right about this have been going on a long time.... If you've watched any movies (such as Congo, Tears of the Sun (based in Nigeria), among others) that flopped at the box office because in general most ppl psudeo care about what happens abroad. They would show you some of the evils going on right benieth our noses! Its a sad day when this goes overlooked for so long but whos to blame for it? I'm not pointing fingers at anyone for IMHO its a little of everyones including myself!

No worries... I appreicate that the idea of rape pisses you off. Pisses off the majority of us. Focusing on that part of the issue is fine...war is a bit big to try and concentrate on all of it's parts at once.

What ticked me off is that it seems to have fallen off the TV radar. It wasn't a popular enough war or something as inane.

Anyone know of a site that keeps track of present wars? Perhaps if we all write to our 'leaders' regarding these wars that they might start paying attention at their monthly UN meetings.
