Women get compassion? No, we're drilled about whether we were drinking, wearing slutty clothes, putting ourselves in situations where we would get raped. Our character is questioned. We're told we led men on, so we often keep it to ourselves, like many male victims. We hide it and see our attackers at social gatherings, on social media and sometimes even family events. We watch them go unpunished so we can spare ourselves the humiliation of having to prove we didn't ask for it. Men don't deserve the same compassion as women. That would be unfair to men.

6.3% doesn't strike me as "extremely rare". Its basically 1 out of every 16 rapists.
Mark Twain quipped that, "There are lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics".
It's just one survey, and I really doubt that it is accurate. I suppose that we can talk about forcible rape, but better yet, let the FBI answer the question for us; I am sure that there are statistics from the DoJ on this.
Why? Do you doubt it because you think women rape less than this? Don't forget about the women who rape with their significant others. The women who rape children. The women who rape sleeping or drunk men. This isn't a non-issue.

People laugh at a man sharing his experience of abuse from a woman. Imagine that. There's actually a video about this on YouTube where a man shares how he was beaten by his girlfriend and locked inside a room and you could hear the whole audience laugh their ass off as if they were on a Jimmy Fallon show. It's truly heartbreaking.
A man that's been raped is looked at with disgust of how weak he must be. Many men doesn't even report these incidents out of fear of ridicule. When they share a rape incident with their friends their friends either congratulate him on getting raped or ridicule him by questioning his sexuality.
These kinds of things don't normally happen where I live, I could honestly not give a shit about some rando I'll probably never even meet in my life but once you read stories of these men that after getting raped actually got laughed at, its heartbreaking that you can't help but speak up for them.
It just seems outright impossible to even imagine a woman actually getting laughed at for getting raped or have her sexuality questioned. Men deserve the same compassion.
No, they usually just get shunned, called sluts and damaged goods. Heaven forbid someone question a real man's sexuality. Worse than death I tell you!

Why do you doubt it is accurate?
If anything it's likely underestimating female rapists, because of the social stigma that others have mentioned in this thread.

Anyone has a right to demand replication. I am simply appealing to a "higher authority":
Quote:Statistics on the prevalence of female-on-male sexual violence vary. A 2010 study by the CDC found that 93.3% male rape victims reported only male perpetrators. 1 in 21 or 4.8% of men reported being "made to penetrate".[13] The survey also found that male victims reported only female perpetrators in instances of being made to penetrate (79.2%), sexual coercion (83.6%), and unwanted sexual contact (53.1%).[13] A 2008 study of 98 men interviewed on the National Crime Victimization Survey found that nearly half of the men (46%) who reported some form of sexual victimization were victimized by women.[14]

I didn't say that rape of men by women was nonexistent only that it was "extremely rare".

I had a look if there are some conclusive numbers. All I found is a wiki page. Interesting reading nonetheless and they quote their sources.

Certainly, I just asked why you immediately rejected a survey without presenting any evidence that it was untrue.
Quote:I didn't say that rape of men by women was nonexistent only that it was "extremely rare".
I'm aware of that, but I fail to see how 6.3% is "extremely rare". Also, you neglected to highlight the 2008 study, which found that 46% of male victims were victimized by women.
If anything, I think those numbers show that more research is needed, but they certainly do not support the idea that female on male rape is "extremely rare" unless you want to propose a definition of what "extremely rare" means.

Extremely rare means "It's an anomaly for women to be sexually predatory. Rape is a male thing."
Both genders suffer denial over behaviors that are predominantly found in the opposite gender. Many women believe that women don't rape men often enough to warrant mention. Men believe that women are the crazy ones that break shit and key cars when they're mad. Women are crazy and men are violent sexual predators. You can't upset the status quo.

I see where some New York Rockettes who objected will not be required to participate in their act at the chump's inauguration if they don't want to, Vs being told it was in their contract, previously.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The stupid thing is I feel like at a basic level we all agree on these things:
Rape is a terrible crime.
Men and women can be raped.
Women are raped by men more than men are raped by women.
There needs to be more support for both male rape victims and female rape victims.
Arguing over how pervasive different types of rape, is IMO, just a distraction from the real issues.
