tons of men in power who never get in trouble.

Here, people, is an absolutely exquisite example of the Apex Fallacy in action: using the 1% to 0.1% of men that fit the conditions and applying that case to the other 99% who don’t have these characteristics and could never achieve the same prosecutorial immunity.

For the vast majority of men, even the insinuation of sexual malfeasance is enough to destroy careers and marriages.

Hell, even good samaritans lose everything, and they did absolutely nothing wrong.

Out of every 1,000 sexual assaults that occur, only about 310 are reported. Of those, approximately 50 lead to an arrest, 28 cases result in a felony conviction, and onlyb25.perpetrators end up incarcerated.

This stats do not show an epidemic of men getting convicted and actually shows the polar opposite. A society that is indifferent to SA.

Up to 30% of men in college will admit to committing a SA. Those are the ones willing to admit. How many men get kicked out of college for SA?

Meanwhile large universities found that, on average, colleges suspend only 1 in every 12,400 students and expel only 1 in every 22,900 students annually for sexual misconduct.

Woah sounds like no one is doing shit. This is the reality that dwarfs you fantasy about men losing everything.

The few that do generally deserve it, but I am sure you can drum up some questionable cases. These pale in comparison to reality and trying to consider an outlier as what is common is just pure ignorance on anyone’s part that does.

So no, the reality is almost no one faces any consequences at all.

  Let me put something else in your pipe to smoke:
  
  Women rape men as frequently as men rape women.
  
  And now the real surprise: when asked about experiences in the last 12 months, men reported being “made to penetrate” - either by physical force or due to intoxication - at virtually the same rates as women reported rape (both 1.1 percent in 2010, and 1.7 and 1.6 respectively in 2011).
  
  In other words, if being made to penetrate someone was counted as rape - and why shouldn’t it be? - then the headlines could have focused on a truly sensational CDC finding: that women rape men as often as men rape women.
  
  And yet, where are the convictions of female rapists??
  
  crickets
  
  If you want to clean house, start with your own.
  
  And the real kicker comes down to these three points:
  
  It took the FBI until 2015 to even begin recording female-on-male rape as rape, because before then it wasn’t considered rape. And so national law enforcement stats for female-on-make rape just don’t exist before 2015.
  
  Many police precincts still use software that hard-codes the victim as female and the perp as male, further frustrating justice by creating “erroneous” records that are trivial to dismiss, and preventing a full accounting of the problem by preventing correct gender identification of the victim and perp.
  
  Almost all men have been brainwashed to think that it is impossible for a woman to rape a man, be it physical or psychological coercion, so many of these male victims don’t even realize they have been victimized.

    Is that your coup de grâce?
    
    Let me tell you a story about my daughter when she was a teenager. She had a guy friend and one time they were playing around trying to one up each other and he said he lost his virginity to his babysitter when has was thirteen. My daughter immediately apologized and said she was sorry that happened to him. He was confused because no one had ever explained to him that he was raped. He had a realization that day.
    
    I was very proud of my daughter. I am not sure what part of social worker you don’t understand.
    
    At any rate, in this study you neglect to realize that man on man rape far exceeds woman on man rape unless you are counting molestation. Read that again, the majority of rapes are from other men.
    
    I have worked closely with crisis shelters and I have seen all walks of life. That is how I see through the bullshit.
