Male Rape - An Invisible Problem

[Hovik]

He's a MRA, as am I and (it seems!) Tibbers.

To be fair, Tibbers is a human rights advocate, as I understand it. The type of genitals one possesses has naught to do with it.

That being said, I'm not entirely sure that men's rights have anything to do with the topic. This is more a recognition thing, if I am not mistaken. Whether or not the problem is bad, it should be recognized. Nevertheless, Epi raises some good points about experience that should be taken into account. In his case, he has been exposed to more male to female rape than anything else and so feels more strongly about ending that. I raised this point with Tiberius the other day. Experience counts for a lot when it comes to standing up for something. None of us can tell another what to stand up for because it is our personal experience that drives us. So, if Epi thinks male to female rape is the bigger problem and wants to fight against that, all the more power to him. Either way, we have one more person caring about rape and that is not a bad thing.

Epi, that third article states the woman was on anti-retroviral therapy. I'd bet dollars to donuts that she gave that man HIV.

Let me just clarify in case there is confusion. I posted this thread to highlight a topic that I had become aware of more frequently lately, and simply wanted to see what the forum thought about the issue. I am a MRA in some senses, but insofar as it aligns with my egalitarian nature. I'm not pushing any agenda or arguing anything with intent to demean either gender. Before anything, I am an advocate for human rights, regardless of gender.
