It's stomach-churning when I hear phrases like this (as a girl). People who say these phrases should really stop and think what it would be like in the victim's shoes. Like, just imagine going through some traumatic sh#t and you have some f#cking dumbass say this to you. It's evil. So f#cking evil. It would probably make some victims feel guilty, some feel enraged by such words said to their face, and definitely all feel a deep and profound sickening feeling within them when hearing such vile and foul words.

False. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world but how often do you see heart attacks on the news. Plane crashes are rare af, but you hear about them literally anytime they happen.

>The news is a lie and a false representation of reality. Anyone who trusts it is living a lie.

Not fully correct, not fully wrong though either.

You shouldnt be using the News to create the "100% accurate worldview of reality™", sure.

But more often than not, the events are real. (this doesnt mean always, Fake news is a term for a reason)

News outlets go for the Big Things, because those get the views.

Plane crashes are rare, thats why you hear about them. Because its a BIG THING.

Heart attacks are much more deadly globally, but also much more common, if every heart attack were to reported on the news, it wouldnt work. It literally wouldnt work. too many are happening.

It's constantly shouted - the problem is it's used as a lie to gloss over that the majority of those who victimize men are women, not other men - and to invalidate the affliction of male victims because somehow sharing a demographic with the person who victimized you means you don't matter.

That's because sexual assault by women has yet to progress beyond a joke. There are mainstream comedy movies where women raping boys is practically the core theme of the film.

I've seen women angrily strip school-aged boys of all their clothes in full public view, and everyone seemed to laugh it off as "Oh no, mommy's pissed now! Haha!"

If a man did it, he'd certainly be arrested and probably risk being a registered sex offender for the rest of his life. But a woman? That's hilarious? 🙃

u/BannanasAreEvil 1d ago

No it's because the legal definition of rape requires penetration upon another person. Otherwise it's only sexual assault. Made to Penetrate isn't counted as rape and therefore when stats show men are mostly raped by other men it's not a lie, as the legal definition of rape makes it nearly impossible for women to rape men. Yet when you look at the CDC and look at the stats of made to penetrate and the assailant you see the gap between men and women shrink dramatically!!!

2

u/Confident-Estimate-8 19 1d ago

No it's because the legal definition of rape requires penetration upon another person.

Not really? It's just that men are more likely to not understand they were assaulted by women since society taught them that "every woman's touch is good, doesn't matter you consented or not", so even if they were raped they don't perceive/never talk about it since they get called gay for not liking it or are just dismissed entirely. As a woman, women can be gross and creepy too. They aren't perfect angels that do nothing wrong. People have a tendency to dismiss any case of assault if committed by women (even in woman to woman cases). You are being really biased

Not just the news. Reports heavily skew that way as well. A few reasons have been presented as to why that may be. One is that even when a female abuser of a male victim is reported, it often doesn't get the severe treatment it should. So male victims may not realize they are the victim of a serious crime or not believe it will be taken seriously.

Depends on context usually. If you talked about it out of the blue to raise awareness and understanding, you’re good.

well, yeah, the majority of rapists are men. even with male victims, the perpetrator is still most often a man. acknowledging this fact is important when speaking up for male victims, because male victims may feel that they'll be shamed if they come forward about another man sexually assaulting them.

This is true - only because women can't be charged with rape under the most common circumstances which they commit it. A woman forcing a man to penetrate here - i.e. forcing an unwilling person to engage in non-consensual sex - cannot be charged with rape in most developed nations.

If you write the definition of a crime to say only one demographic can commit it - no shit that demographic is going to show up disproportionately

6

u/mustangs_n_reptiles 18 1d ago

someone brought this up in a response to me on a different thread, and you're right, i forgot to edit my comment to reflect that. however, when you include forcing a man to penetrate in the definition of rape, the ratio is 56:44 women to men. that is an almost even division between male and female perpetrators. it is still true rape, in general, is still committed by men the vast majority of the time and that should be acknowledged and addressed by society as a whole. my being wrong that men are the most common perpetrator in the case of male victims does not disprove the point of the original comment, that point being that male victims are often victims of other men and should not be shamed for that.

u/psych0kinesis 1d ago

When studies use self-reports with careful wording (for example, describing acts rather than using the word “rape”), results tend to converge around the same ballpark:

General population surveys in the U.S.: Between 4–8% of men admit to acts that legally qualify as rape.

College campus studies (often more scrutinized): The number admitting to rape or attempted rape ranges from 6–12%, depending on how the questions are framed.

When you broaden it to any form of sexual assault or coercion, the percentage climbs into the 10–20% range.

To be clear: these are self-admissions, not convictions. Many men underreport even when surveys anonymize answers, so these figures are often seen as conservative minimums. The actual rate is likely higher.

So the blunt answer is: at least 1 in 20 men—and possibly closer to 1 in 10—commit rape in their lifetimes. That’s disturbingly high when you think of it at the population scale.

Only 3% of men confront their friends when they make a rape joke as well, its the men that uphold this system.

u/_XxAphroditexX_ 1d ago

Depends on WHERE you’re saying this. Most comments like this come from a topic of a SA victim whose attacker was a male. You will in fact get these looks, not bc no one wants to hear that woman do it too but, bc you’re being a shitty person, undermining someone’s assault to make it about gender wars.

HOWEVER,

If you’re saying this in your own context then yeah, this is a real issue. A lot of people refuse to see males as victims when the attacker is female simply bc they think the victim is “lucky”. This toxic ideology that little boys getting with older women is the coolest thing ever is too problematic. To this day so many people don’t even realize that they ARE victims of grooming bc of how romanticized this trope was. This is why it’s important to inform all children that dating someone older is not cool, it’s a crime. It’ll help more children avoid this situation and allow more people to acknowledge all victims of SA no matter the gender of their attacker.

u/Andromedan_Cherri 1d ago

This. Personally, I think the gender war is one giant distraction perpetuated by media companies, but that's a conspiracy for another day.

u/birdsofafeatherWHAT 21h ago

Depends on the topic of discussion. If you say this in the middle of a gender politics discussion it’s a valid reactions. Because from most stars they surprisingly don’t. The exact stats globally I think was “93–97% of sexual violence perpetrators are male.” Whether is male on male or male on female I can’t remember. Now if you wanna say there’s underreporting sure valid. But this even crosses to other crimes where almost 90% of perpetrators are male.

Now, If it’s in a male rape discussion people are very willing to talk about female rapists. I mean very few are denying females can’t. I mean it would be stupid to. They’re alive and sentient so they can commit evil just as easily. If you go online the he’s so lucky jokes aren’t necessarily made by women either but other men. And furthermore I wish that was me jokes weren’t made by women either but once again men. Are female rapists seen as less threatening. Of course. Patriarchy dictates the female is weaker, stupider, and yet at the same time a Jezebel. How could any man be a victim to that. Thus victims are seen as idiots. But the Jezebel seductress asked for it stereotype also fires back on female victims and they’re not believed either. It’s just rapists are so often men it’s impossible not to record.

I promise you if women committed 90% of crimes there would be no doubt about the link between crimes, gender and class. But for now people will focus on race and ethnic backgrounds instead since it’s easier. Okay tangent over. In short this is valid in every way but I can see why some people may “dismiss” (dismiss not deny) it in online politics.

They aren't. The CDC finds the yearly number of men "forced to penetrate" nearly identical to the yearly number of women raped. 80% of these men report only female perpetrators. If a 55/45 or 60/40 split is "overwhelming" enough to completely disregard a large minority and consider something "gendered", then domestic violence would suddenly only be recognized as a men's issue, as women have higher perpetration rates.

except, in many countries, men legally can't be raped (as in, it isn't recognised). plus, the definition of rape means that it legally doesn't count when a woman forces a man to penetrate. also, many men don't even realise they've been sexually assaulted or raped, because they either don't realise men can be raped, or they don't realise women can rape. i'm not saying it isn't mostly men, but until these things change, i don't exactly trust these statistics.

u/mustangs_n_reptiles 18 1d ago

i can explain the reason for this. not that it's valid, of course, but there is a reason that men legally cannot be raped.

rape was originally considered a property crime against the father or husband of a female victim. rape was seen as damaging the woman, the father or husbands property. men were not seen this way legally. this is just one of many examples of patriarchy hurting men.

u/theHrayX 18 1d ago

Exactly

Men are the attackers in most known rape cases. However, the common definition of rape often ignores when a woman forces a man to have sex. This is because old-fashioned ideas suggest men always want sex and women can only be receivers. This makes it very hard for male victims to report it or be believed. So, female rapists are rarely arrested, especially when the victim is an adult man.

Report from 2002. At that time the definition of rape was "the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will"

Your question also isn't better or more important because by your own source out of which you got the "99%" the number is 0, absolute zero and not just men but boys included, absolute zero.

That's only from reported cases. Men are often times socially conditioned NOT to report it

It's true that it's not just men, but the MAJOR MAJORITY comes from men so I think male abusers need more focus getting rid off atm

u/IdidnotFuckaCat 1d ago

I think we should focus on getting rid of all rapists.

u/pleasenopleaseplease 1d ago

That's true I didn't think of that

u/UnfurtletDawn 1d ago

Nope, in many countries it is just men by definition.

And of course it will be mostly men when women are excluded from being a perpetrator/men are excluded from being a victim duh.

1

u/Perfect-Proposal-688 1d ago

Men usually dont report it. And the definition of rape is a forced penetration, not being forced to penatrate. I have 3 friends who were molested and raped by woman. Only 1 tried to get the law involved. THEY. DID. NOTHING.

u/Harald_The_Archivist 18 1d ago

It’s hell. British law states that rape is penetration of a woman by a man.

They did nothing. Didn’t even try. You know what we were told?

Man up.

u/Perfect-Proposal-688 1d ago

Exactly. The whole male culture is "man up" or "enjoy it"

u/Liliosis 1d ago

I agree on this fact.

The only time saying this makes you look like a prick is when you bring it up when people talk about women’s rape. Men’s rape and women’s rape are both horrible, and using one to downplay the other is abhorrent behaviour.

u/Ajay_Alder_Apollo 1d ago

Honestly? It's bull. No one will believe you if you say "I was sa'd" as a boy no one will believe you if you say "I was sa'd by a woman" It's just messed up in all honesty

u/TheHourglass_ 1d ago

Which Sonic Adventure

u/No-Big2111 17 1d ago

Anyone can be SAed and anyone can SA. Even if one thing is more spoken about, there still are many cases of other variables (like men SA other men or woman SA men/woman). Let's remember to help the victims and clarify who are the sexual assaulters to get them on jail.

1

u/Someone_1937 1d ago

How mfs look at you when you say "sexual violence is culturally, statistically and institutionally a male problem" and NOT "every single man ever in history ever yes even your best friend is 100% a rapist and girls don't ever do anything bad ever"

Critical thinking at an all-time low

u/IllustriousFee6878 1d ago

Not going to lie, I thought you meant South Australia

u/Chickenpocksbaby 1d ago

I think the reason people believe men are supposed to enjoy being SA’D is because they think he’s in control in some type of way.

Getting SA’D as a girl by a man is supposed to be empowering for men because he had his way with a girl and/or the girl “wanted” him(misogynistic). So whenever male victims come out from being SA’d by a man or woman, some people’s brain are like “wait, but didn’t his ego boost/didn't he win?”

But yeah, it is sad.

u/easymanwer OLD 1d ago

Honestly, many people believe "men cannot be victims" or "men cannot be raped." It's a complete insult towards male victims rights and male survivors rights. There needs to be more male victim rights and male survivor rights awareness.

1

u/StarfireNebula 1d ago

I normally don't comment here because I'm an adult.

That being said, I underwent gender transition some years ago and in the peer groups and social circles I've walked in, I've heard a lot of people say a lot of things about SA, and based on what I've heard other people say and upon my own lived experience:

All kinds of people perpetrate SA.

All kinds of people experience SA. (including my early 20s male-presenting self being inappropriately touched while working a closing shift at a fast food place - perp was an older bisexual man)

And unfortunately, some people who perpetrate SA are people who are looked up to as "community leaders".

Stay safe out there and exercise good judgement.

u/lavafish80 OLD 1d ago

I assume this is in response to the other post so I'll repeat what I said there:

let's stop putting down victims because they're "the wrong gender". Anyone can be a victim. It's important we lift them up, let them tell their stories, get justice for them, and make sure we can find a way to reduce things like this from happening, since completely stopping it from happening entirely is unfortunately impossible (though I propose peepee guillotine as a solution)

tldr: stop telling victims they're not victims because they're men

Too many lonely children, no parent to shelter them, no friend to cherish, and no officer to dispose of dangers with. Is this the new Sodom for some? Because we can already see a veil of it.

Depends on the context you bring it up in

u/Theo-the-door 1d ago

I think it may have something to do with the fact female survivors can't bring up anything anymore without male ones feeling talked to. "Why do we say dead men don't rape if women can be rapists too :( boo hoo" Brother... Brother it's a direct response to "dead girls Can't say no" which was a pop culture statement for YEARS. this ain't about you. This fuckass sentence has been on shirts. That's one of the reasons dollskill is on the boycott list.

Male survivors need support and awareness, yes, I will personally dropkick anyone who says this tired old "man where was she when I was 14" bullshit, But cmonnnn we can be a little more aware than we currently are.

And that's coming from a guy who was personally victimized by both women and men btw

Idk we should prolly also make our own slogans in response to the copypaste responses. Can't think of any rn tho

As I read the statistics, men are mostly SAed or rped by women and women are mostly SAed or rped by men

I guess straight people (even thou in the past, men, mostly those in churches, SAed or r*ped little boys, were they closeted gays or just couldn't find girls?(

u/fedricohohmannlautar 20h ago

I'm a biological male. When I was 17 years old, I had my graduate's holyday, and some adults (all of them mothers of other classmates) came to act as chaperones. When I were in the hotel, in a moment I can't remember it well, one of these mothers (I don't remember who was, I don't remember her name, face or voice) hug me since my back, and told me something weird to the ear, so she grabbed me and give a long and weird kiss in my neck. I entered in panic but I didn't do nothing. In a moment she went and I can't remember nothing hours earlier or later.    I "forgot" of this moment for years until I "re-remembered" it some months ago. I feel disgusted, useless and stupid when I remember it.     Regardless of that, I still considering that holyday one of the best periods of my life.

Tbh a lot of men invalidate men who've been sa'd by women with the "I wish that had happened to me"

Women invalidate them with "you're strong enough to push her off"

While this is 100% correct, this argument is usually used by people who want to dismiss the severity of SA by saying “but women also do SA!” to make men seem as better people
