That aside, it doesn't matter who gets raped more often or who is most likely to rape. The fact of the matter is, rape against men does occur, and nobody recognizes that it happens. Arguing that rape against women is a bigger issue and therefore male rape isn't as important is just fundamentally irrational.

You have your take on it. I have mine. Prison rape is a whole different situation and, frankly, that doesn't look likely to change any time soon given exigent demographics. I think your cause is worthwhile. I do not know a single man who has been raped (well, outside of prison, but I used to work in a jail, so that was not a surprise) whereas I personally know five women who have been raped. My focus goes where the problem is biggest-and where it has affected me. Have you been raped, Hovik? That is an honest question, because I would like to know what motivates you on this topic.

Whether or not I've been raped is irrelevant. My focus on this topic has more to do with my focus on men's rights overall. I began this thread because I felt that it was a little-discussed matter that needed to be brought forth, and it is exactly because nobody talks about it that it's allowed to happen (and it isn't taken seriously). Regardless of whether or not we consider male rape to be equivalent in occurrence to female rape, rape against men does occur, and it's just as bad as rape against women. Comparing the two based on frequency of occurrence is pointless.
