So feminists in fighting to prevent rape from being a gender neutral crime despite evidence indicating how men are 50% of rape victims and women 40% rapists articles(.)timesofindia(.)indiatimes(.)com/2012-07-20/india/32763268_1_gender-sexual-violence-crpc www(.)genderratic(.)com/p/836/manufacturing-female-victimhood-and-marginalizing-vulnerable-men/ whats that then

first off, i will say that those statistics are complete and utter bullshit and where the hell did you get them because they are WRONG WRONG WRONG and neither of those articles actually support that?

http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus0801.pdf

that’s from the US department of justice and you can look through it, like i did, and see that in every case, the rate of rape victims is much higher among women of every demographic than it is among men.

you can also go to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) website and get the information they have there which will tell you that 3% of men are rape victims while 17.6% of women have been raped or sexually assaulted.

this article also has many good links so that you can learn even more FACTS about rape http://www.huffingtonpost.com/soraya-chemaly/50-facts-rape_b_2019338.html

also, the majority of male rape victims are raped by OTHER MEN

i have to wonder if you even read that first article because it explains pretty clearly WHY these Indian activists are fighting against rape in India to not be a gender neutral crime. because in their circumstances, this would be incredibly detrimental to women and would HIGHLY favor men in the eyes of the law, and women have a shitty enough time of it as it is when it comes to the law in regards to rape.

in the US, 97% of rapists NEVER see a single day of jail time and the ones who ARE convicted hardly ever get the full sentence or even serve the entirety of the sentence they received

as for the second ‘article’ you linked, that’s a blog of complete bullshit run by three people who, from what i can tell, pull a bunch of made up facts from out of their asses.

let’s look at one of the bloggers (and these people are bloggers, not credible people who have done actual studies on the subject)

“artist/musician/computer-programmer/apparently-blogger/geek/white-het-cis-man in his late 20′s that likes to ride bicycles as a serious mode of transportation. He is also vegetarian with vegan leanings”

yes just the kind of person who is likely to help run a site that is critical and not biased at all towards men. *sarcasm*

the reason that rape is a crime perpetuated by men is because it is an act of power and control. the majority of women just simply do not have the physical strength to rape a man. i am 5’6 and pretty strong for a girl. FOR A GIRL. i used to work at a barn and i carried around 70 lb hay bales regularly. but i don’t have the strength to even push my brother out of the way when he’s standing in my way. because he’s 6’1. cis men are bigger and stronger, statistically, than cis women (the rate of rape among all transgender people is much much much higher than it is among cisgender people). it is simply HARDER for a woman to rape a man than the other way around.

it happens, of course it does, and men are much less likely to report their rapes, but that is also a consequence of the PATRIARCHY, not feminism. men tell other men that they are weak if they’ve been raped, whether by a man or a woman. feminism would help erase that stigma.

so, please go educate yourself
