South Africa: Parents Shocked as 10-Year-Olds Play 'Rape Rape' Game in School Playground

More sick shit. The report of this playground "rape game" came on the heels of the news that yet another young lesbian has been murdered in an act of "corrective rape". For anyone who is unfamiliar with "corrective rape" here's a link to my thread in LGBT group:

South Africa: Parents Shocked as 10-Year-Olds Play 'Rape Rape' Game in School Playground
By Hannah Osborne | IB Times – 16 hours ago

Primary school children in Cape Town, South Africa, have been found playing a new playground game called "Rape Rape", where boys chase girls then simulate a sexual attack.

Parents and teachers raised the alarm after children were discovered playing the game. The Western Cape Department of Education said it was outraged and has launched an investigation.

A principal at one of the primary schools where children were playing the game said boys and girls as young as 10 were participating, South Africa's Independent Online reported.

In the game, girls are given the chance to run away before boys start to chase them. Once caught, the girl would be pinned to the ground and the boy would simulate rape for up to 20 seconds. Once she had been "raped", the girl would be eliminated from the game. The game would end once the last girl had been "raped"....

I don't see many reports in the US of boys raping their little sisters but it does make the news in the UK.

Nothing shocks me anymore.

One half is definitely brutally oppressing the other, fighting to maintain superiority, that much is clear.

This is what children all over the world are exposed to - the brutalization and subjugation of females.

They mimic adult behavior in their play, like children have done since the beginning of time.
