Women rapists terrorise men in Zimbabwe
Women rapists terrorise men in Zimbabwe

Police in Zimbabwe are on the trail of a group of women who have been raping men, usually at gunpoint, since last year.

Cases of men who have been sexually abused by women are common in the country and hardly a week passes without such a report being made in the media.

The motives of these women are not known, but there is speculation that they may be doing this for ritual purposes.

-----------------------------

Police have said the women cannot be charged with rape because Zimbabwean law does not recognise that women can rape men.

But they will be charged with indecent assault, which carries a lesser sentence.

3. People say this can never happen. But it does.
And male rape victims are often treated like scum for it.

5. Oh, you should read some of the comments
On other cases of men being the victims of rape.

"I'd have enjoyed myself! Free sex!"
"I don't see the problem! That guy enjoyed it!"
"YOU GO GIRL!"

etc.

Rape is not just damaging to women. Male victims of rape at any age are damaged too.

6. In Western culture, machismo is more important than protection of minors, seems like.
Thus, denying enjoyment of penetrating a woman, even if you did it involuntarily, is to render one's masculinity vulnerable in the eyes of society.

7. I do see the dark humor in it...
...my imagination would be that the men are being raped by Hooters girls.

10. Two things...
1. Men also have a hole down there.

2. They do make adapter kits.
