For those who could of been fantasming...

Women's Lib sure has come a long way since the bra-burning days of the 60's. Women, (at least in developed countries), can now compete with men in careers that were once considered to be "male only". (And they can even earn 73 cents for every dollar that a male co-worker would earn for doing exactly the same job!) But women's"equality" doesn't just apply to the workplace these days as this next bizarre story shows. Yes folks, this week in South Africa, a man was actually gang-raped at gunpoint by three women. Isn't progress wonderful?

That's right. In Johannesburg this week the hunt is on for three women who ambushed a 30-year-old man and forced him to have sex with them at gunpoint.

According to a police spokeswoman the incident occurred on Saturday night as the man was walking through the South African town of Roodepoort when three women pulled up next to him in their maroon BMW to ask for directions to the Savoy Hotel.

The man offered to get in and show them the way and was later persuaded to join them for a nightcap in the hotel bar. After a drink, the group decided to go to the Station hotel, but on the way there the women changed direction and drove toward a field near the Durban Deep Mine.

At this point one woman produced a firearm and held the man at gunpoint. The women then undressed and took turns raping him, before forcing him back into the car and dropping him off on Main Reef Road in Roodepoort.

The family of a man who was allegedly raped by three women say he is so traumatized that he won't speak a word to anyone. (Wow! They must have been good!)

"He isn't all right. We are trying to talk to him but he is not saying anything. We are just trying to sort things out," Michelle, the 30-year-old rape victim's sister-in-law, told the South African Press Association on Friday.

However, even if the women are eventually caught there is virtually no chance that they will be charged with rape since under South African law "rape" is defined as the intentional unlawful sexual intercourse with a women without her consent.

So it appears that women have may have made the final step to total equality with men. Or have they? After all, no matter how successful and independent a woman may be in her career or social life, when it comes to getting the lid off the marmalade jar in the morning - who do they turn to, huh guys?
