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??

If you want to clean house, start with your own.

And the real kicker comes down to these three points:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
