Men are raped almost as often as women in the US

March 8, 2015 at 2:32 pm

I've been saying this for a while, and my experiences as a rape crisis counselor have backed this up but I've never really seen any major publications talking about it.

Finally, I found an article.

http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/d...ulted.html

Quote:Data hasn’t been calculated under the new FBI definition yet, but Stemple parses several other national surveys in her new paper, “The Sexual Victimization of Men in America: New Data Challenge Old Assumptions,” co-written with Ilan Meyer and published in the April 17 edition of the American Journal of Public Health. One of those surveys is the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, for which the Centers for Disease Control invented a category of sexual violence called “being made to penetrate.” This definition includes victims who were forced to penetrate someone else with their own body parts, either by physical force or coercion, or when the victim was drunk or high or otherwise unable to consent. When those cases were taken into account, the rates of nonconsensual sexual contact basically equalized, with 1.270 million women and 1.267 million men claiming to be victims of sexual violence.

I am NOT diminishing the atrocity of a woman being raped. But I AM saying that the same thing CAN happen to a man, and happens QUITE A BIT.
