Had I never been through the things I've been through, I probably wouldn't have felt violated in your situation either. The problem with the way you phrase things is that talk like that makes some men feel like feeling violated by rape makes them less of a man.
If you honestly don't think that this is a real issue, that there aren't many men who have been raped and have felt violated and been too ashamed to report it, I feel like you must be living under a rock.
How do you know how men think?
Men have very great individual differences in psyche. I have learned this from being a man and growing up with men. How did you gain all of your man-think knowledge?
What words of mine could be construed to even suggest that men can't be horribly traumatized by rape? Why would you assume that I belittle male rape victims?
As you are certainly aware, rape is combination of sex & violence and both of the ingredients can vary. My experience had a little bit of sex and a tiny amount of force so it is truly very different than a more extreme version. I have made no claim to be certain as to how often men get sexually assaulted, again you are projecting your preconceived notions on me. I can say that in my 50 plus years, I am the only one I know of that had anything happen at the hands of a woman, and even then I don't really consider my experience to be rape but more of a sexual assault. (This thread though reiterated that sex without consent was rape)
