Male Rape - An Invisible Problem

I will be the brave person and say male rape by women usually occurs at young ages. I've caught my friend's sister doing things to her baby brother, not going further into detail but I got her parents to take care of it. And I was also molested by a women (Won't tell you who.) when I was very young, at that age no child understands the implications of what is happening to them male or female. There are probobly some profound psychological effects this has on a person when their older because you develope most of your personality when you are young. This could cause men to treat women like objects possibly and may be responsible for allot of the "savage" things men do to women.

I don't care if you think I liked it or not, I just want you to know it happens and allot. Also Im quite fearless about anything I talk about.

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.

The only way she wouldn't have to move him is if he was already in such a location that sex was on his mind anyway and therefore, rape wouldn't be an issue as he was "ready to role.

Being forced into sexual submission against your will isn't rape when sex was already started? Someone agrees to vanilla sex, and their partner takes advantage of them at some point with bindings, eventually suspending them in midair and fucking them anally for hours, despite very clear protest from the one who expected vanilla?

What do we call that, if not rape? Yes, it is an extreme example.

And why the fuck is this the only thread I respond to anymore? <--- Rhetorical.

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.

[Tiberius]

Yeah, I prefer the term "equalitarian" too. I'm a men's rights activist when I see men being disadvantaged by society; I'm a feminist when I see women being disadvantaged by society. I view everyone as equal, so I'll fight for the rights of everyone. It doesn't matter if you are male, female, black, white, straight, gay, bi, asexual, etc. Better to fight for everyone's rights than to focus solely on a single group; that is how you get inequality in the first place.
