Holy Cow, What Happened to Bowling or Sumthin'?

One in four South African men questioned in a survey said they had raped someone, and nearly half admitted having attacked more than one victim.

It said practices such as gang rape were common because they were considered a form of male bonding.

The study found that one in 10 men said they had been raped by other men.

I dunno, I'm thinking . . . saltpeter in the water system, maybe? That statistic is absolutely shocking. But I see some plan on fighting back.

A South African inventor unveiled a new anti-rape female condom on Wednesday that hooks onto an attacker’s penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world.

Sickening. I've read about the high incidence rates of rape down there before. a LOT of women "pack."

Uhhh...that could be a good deterrent....Are the women going to wear a warning sign? Seems to me that if the thing is hooked into the guy already, the rape hasn't been deterred....
