Men can be victims too.

well...yes, yes they can. I don't think any serious person said otherwise. It is true, however, that women get raped far more commonly.

My Health teacher last year tried to convince me that only women got raped.

God only knows if she did any actual teaching.

As a man who was a victim of attempted rape, I feel so, so sorry for that class.:headbang:

Yes, men can be raped, I was actually done that way, "Successfully." It's amazing how people are insensitive to the matter of male/male, or even male/female rape. Just because male rape victims are a "minority" in the statistics of rape victims, doesn't mean that it should be any less vocal.

Sexists.

Indeed. I thought everyone knew that.

A few years ago there was a gang of female rapists in the news. Tied their male victims to chairs, pumped them full of viagra or something.

Obviously the vast majority of rape victims are women, but I didn't know anyone seriously believed that men are never rape victims.

Ooh, I can play this game!

Wives can be victims of rape (by their husbands) too.

Prostitutes can be victims of rape, too. Yes, it's still rape even if she's a "slut"!

Unattractive women can be victims of rape, too.

Are we really going to go on with this kind of thing?

About 12% of rape victims are men. The perpetrator is usually another man.
