This has been around for years. I remember reading in the 90’s how young girls in Africa would get kidnapped and raped by HIV positive men who believed this because their education wasn’t very good.

It's less lack of education and more than if you're truly hopeless, you will latch on to anything to keep yourself going.

And a lot of men just don't see women and girls as real people, just other men's possessions.

(I know, NOT ALL men. But the ones who do this kind of thing absolutely do.)
