Sorry, Rhythm, but I would say it is very difficult for a woman to own, carry and actually use an AK in South Africa and many other African countries. Where do you think they are going to get the money to buy an AK or the "goods" to barter for one? How do you think a villager in Darfur is going to get her hands on an AK when the majority of those that have them are the corrupt thugs working for the Sudanese government and the scant rebels trying to save them? I'm sorry, but you are way off the mark on this one. Yes, the Christians are just as fucking corrupt and just as likely to suppress any rights a woman may have elsewhere. I find it extremely difficult to imagine there is this army of women with AKs in Africa that you are painting a picture of. I think you fail to see the sheer hopelessness of their lives. Poverty, sexism, racism . . . these are only a few of the things preventing women from protecting themselves.
Not an epidemic my ass.
Wikipedia Wrote:It is estimated that 500,000 women are raped in South Africa every year[140] with the average woman more likely to be raped than complete secondary school.[141] A 2009 survey found one in four South African men admitted to raping someone[142] and another survey found one in three women said they had been raped in the past year.[143] Rapes are also perpetrated by children (some as young as ten),[144] and child and baby rape incidences are some of the highest in the world.[145]
