That's the thing. They are not more common than they used to be. They just get more ink.
Not disputing your second point at all. Sexual assault is wrong regardless of gender, and it's a problem for both sexes.
Eh. That's possible. Though, the fact that they're getting more notice isn't entirely a bad thing, as it does mean that less people will throw false accusations over time. Though it may also have the side effect of making people who genuinely have been raped, feel like they're not going to be able to get the person who did it to them put in jail.
And good, that you agree on the second point. I have to make sure on that part, because i have met so many people who seem to think it's not a thing, which is rather aggravating.

I'm a volunteer SART advocate, and during my (very intensive) training, we focused just as much on the sexual assault of men as we did on women. In fact, we had three male victims come to talk to the class, and only one female victim.
My point was more that the public need to be made more aware. It's good that it is focused on in training though, because that's definitely a good step in the right direction.
