No but the frequency of rape threats is disturbing.
This here is the reality of the issue... one rape threat? Psh, he's a blowhard who ought just blow away...
Dozens... becomes far less funny. Hundreds, and you've got damn good justification to fear for your life... if lynch mobs, potential trafficking, and gang rapes in general are anything to go by.

Yes... some even get lots of 'i love you's in aftercare holding on the side. I don't remember saying it did? Just that it can be a laughing matter.
I was going for rape, but... are we talking rape fantasies? We can if you want to
Quote:It is hurtful for both. We men are told that we can't be raped. Women are told that their skirt is too short. Society doesn't take rape very seriously and says "rapists will rape" to excuse.
Some parts of our society does take it extremely seriously... but there's plenty who certainly don't. Rape tends to harm everyone involved, the raped person most egregiously, but... guilt can tear a person up inside.
I thought men were told to grin and bear it; to toughen up (buttercup). Women can usually get social support from somewhere, but there're plenty of cases where 'their skirt was too short' or 'i don't see any bruises' or 'are you sure you didn't like it? you sounded like you liked it to me'.
TLDR: Rape sucks. Peeps should stop doing it.
Quote:You need to pay favours in prison. It's part of the system
Depends on how small you are, and how many people share your cell. If you're easily overtaken? Then yeah... you're fucked. Pretty boys are doomed from the moment they walk in. Not the same for everyone... there are cliques in prison. Bullying is quite often done in group form, and loners, unless sufficiently intimidating, will likely be coerced.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
