Perhaps a "greater" concern because there are more women who are raped than men, but it shouldn't be "greater" simply because they are women.
Did I suggest as much?

Why's that, exactly? Because they're women?
Rape committed against men isn't even recognized often times, and it's every bit as damaging and traumatic.
Because men are more violent and do commit more rapes, the majority of which are against women. If I recall correctly, as many as one woman in five will be sexually assaulted during her lifetime-and that is without the unreported cases. I'm against any violent crime, but women get the harsher end of this particular crime.
