Male Rape - An Invisible Problem

[Hovik]

In these instances, people aren't up in arms about it because men "cannot be raped" in the eyes of society. A man's peers will ridicule him for speaking up about it; strangers will say how "lucky" he is to have gotten laid. Hell, even the police will outright refuse to help and say point-blank that men can't be raped.

according to their definition of rape, the police are correct.

I'm sorry but guilt and coercion are not rape and I KNOW that it would be offensive to the millions of women who have been brutally raped without question or coercion but only raw brutal force to call it that.


According to your definition - men are being raped (by women), but not according to mine. Sexual abuse/assault/molestation is abhorrent to me, but I do not call them rape.

Sex without consent is rape. Period. End of definition. The key issue here is consent, not physically overpowering the other person. When a person coerces another into having sex with them against their will, that's rape irrespective of gender.

Also, how can you seriously justify the death penalty for rapists? Nobody deserves the death penalty.
