			<![CDATA[<p>J'aime bien Die Antwoord, mais j'avais une impression désagréable vis-à-vis des textes de leur dernier morceau "Evil Boy". J'y voyais un truc plutôt homophobe.</p>

<p>Il se trouve que non !</p>
<p>En fait ça parle du refus du mec de se faire circoncire pour être accepté comme adulte par la société dans laquelle il vit :</p>
<blockquote><p>
So, the story behind this video and song (or part of the story -- there's so much going on!) is that Wanga felt that he was being coerced into a form of ritual circumcision by his community. It's sort of taken for granted within his ethnic group that you must do this, so much so that if you are a young man and you do not participate, you are ostracized, as the band explained to me.</p>
<p>The thinking, and this is communicated very directly to the young men, is that if you don't participate, you're gay. You're effeminate. You're not a real man. You never mature from being a boy to being a man.</p>
<p>He struggled with all of this in real life: with what it meant for his personal and cultural identity. And he came to a point where he was like, you know what? Fuck you all. The fact that I won't consent to having my penis sliced with an unsterilized knife, out in the bush, and risk infection or worse-- that doesn't mean "I'm gay," as you say. I reject this tradition. If that's what being a man is, fuck it, I don't want to be a man. I'll be an "evil boy for life," even if it means I am ostracized from my community.
</p></blockquote>

<p>Et v'la-t-y pas que je tombe sur un reportage photographique complet présentant une cérémonie de circoncision sud-africaine : <a href='http://www.ezakwantu.com/Gallery%20Lister%20Hunter%20Photo%20Set%20A%20-%20Abakwetha.htm'>http://www.ezakwantu.com/Gallery%20Lister%20Hunter%20Photo%20Set%20A%20-%20Abakwetha.htm</a></p>
