Not only do we get stories like this, but others posted on GAF and anecdotes often show less of a traumatic response. I'm in no way saying that no guy ever has been traumatized by rape, but such trauma is likely less common than a raped female.

Why are you so inclined to compare the two? What does it matter? A rape victim is a rape victim.

Can't the illusion of a less traumatic response be caused by how men view sex? If there is less trauma involved, doesn't that show an immaturity?

This info wasn't in the article from what I skimmed but did the woman threaten him? Did he feel threatened? Why didn't he just call 911 inside the apartment even while she was awake?

Not so. Besides that, reflex questioning to guys around me... answers are that they wouldn't care unless they were married. We'd like to equate them, but again, sociological umwelt. This is also why, as you noted before, guys feel so much safer outside at night than women.

You can put it that way if you'd like, but not being hurt is still advantageous. "Grow up and be offended/hurt" sounds like a bad idea. And different sexual views does not mean one is mature or immature. Or we can go straight to calling everyone who likes sex out. It shouldn't matter.

Basically a rape victim who is actually hurt shouldn't be equated to one who isn't... defamation, assault, etc. is treated in the same way. Testify "I don't really give a shit," and you're hardly a victim.

In that case, yeah. If they're hurt, they're hurt, and they are a victim, despite circumstances/gender.

But damn, "fuck me and I'll give you the key" sounds like a great challenge in a Dudebro Zelda.

1) People stopped being assholes to victims 2) Men started being hurt by rape more I'd personally prefer the former, but. |

Wait... I've been sucked into the vortex. Scratch the last bit. All rape victims are hurt, regardless of who rapes them. |

2) I was speaking exclusively of this story, and the last, and other stories of the sort on GAF. All of which included an attractive woman. EDIT: Hence my description of "victim." I've already addressed this. |

It’s funny you say you prefer the former because you are contributing to an environment that is an asshole to victims by saying we shouldn’t take rape committed against men more seriously and that it is less likely for men to be traumatized by rape.

Show me where I said either. My posts were pretty specific, mate.

Yes, for the first one (being raped by an attractive woman). Again, I was specific. For the second, it was obviously a comparison - we would not wish for men to be hurt more by rape. Third, okay? That's true? Hence my later statement? No, many men don't take it seriously, especially socially... your point? Fourth, I have a specific set of parameters laid out. And my statement stands (under those parameters)... what's your point? I never said "we shouldn’t take rape committed against men more seriously," I expressly said that we should not make men take being raped more seriously. Not that we should not take rape against men seriously. It's different, really. "It is less likely for men to be traumatized by rape." This part was why I noted that I was very specific. I specified the parameters of rape I was talking about. Then I went on to note that if a person is hurt by it, they are a victim, and it should be taken seriously.

Not playing anything. Noting certain facts and factors - nothing more. Also, usually these "olympics" have one side trying to prove that they are the most x (oppressed, traumatized, etc.). Not stating that the other side is more so...
Otherwise we could say that we are playing oppression olympics when we make a statement like "black slaves were worse off than white indentured servants," or "females were worse off in the past than men were." Yeah, there are exceptions, absolutely, but there is a general truth to those sentiments. |

Honestly, I feel a bit bad that I think I would find this scenario kind of hot. I suppose, though, that would depend on tone and if I felt like she could actually hurt me... but the thought of a woman wanting sex with me so badly and so many times that she'd lock the door and hide the key. Goddamn that'd be hot.
Still, I feel bad for that guy if he was scared out of his mind. Huh? No, not at all. |

1) People stop being assholes to those who are victimized 2) Men start being harmed more by rape We do not want the latter. I would prefer that rape stay as non-damaging as possible. The best choice is the first one, where people take those who are victimized (as I described it, actually harmed by rape) seriously. I'm not saying that we as the public should not take it seriously. I'm saying that male victims do not, in accordance to the news stories and anecdotes posted here on GAF, do not take it seriously, nor do potential victims of rape by an attractive female take it seriously. But they should absolutely take someone who feels that they are a victim (again, actually harmed) seriously. |

You can "create" a perpetrator by victimizing them. When you wish for more female rapists, you are essentially asking for more women to be raped. And those female rapists' victims might go on to victimize someone else to regain their lost sense of power. And so on.
