-4	Mary P. Koss thinks that it is "inappropriate" to consider men who have been raped by women as rape victims, because "their penetration experience is not similar to what women are reporting". She calls it "unwanted contact". It's a mix of police departments lacking the funds/resources, low priority of rape cases, and a lack of responsibility for who tests the rape kits (police or prosecutor). The rape kit backlog is a result of stretched resources, and the low priority rape kit testing is given by law enforcement. In the many jurisdictions where there is no law or policy that mandates the testing of all collected rape kits, whether or not a kit is tested is based on the discretion of police or prosecutors. There are…	/r/MensRights	28/12/15 05:26 AM
-3	Mary P. Koss thinks that it is "inappropriate" to consider men who have been raped by women as rape victims, because "their penetration experience is not similar to what women are reporting". She calls it "unwanted contact". What about hundreds of thousands untested rape kits makes you think there is no physical evidence?	/r/MensRights	28/12/15 04:57 AM

She calls it "unwanted contact". Rape victims ought to try that. Yeah, blame the rape victims for the low rape conviction rates. It's all their fault /s	/r/MensRights	28/12/15 04:45 AM
-5	Mary P. Koss thinks that it is "inappropriate" to consider men who have been raped by women as rape victims, because "their penetration experience is not similar to what women are reporting". She calls it "unwanted contact". how about educating girls that if they are raped comes down to he said/she said Not all rape victims are women, in fact, many men are raped as well. Men can even be raped by other men. That's the point of this entire fucking article. Your idiotic post is a perfect example of why men find it so hard to report rapes. So its useless police that are the issue? Yes, I think that there should be more sexual assault training for police officers. The article in The Economist goes into depth about police…	/r/MensRights	28/12/15 04:09 AM
-4	Mary P. Koss thinks that it is "inappropriate" to consider men who have been raped by women as rape victims, because "their penetration experience is not similar to what women are reporting". She calls it "unwanted contact". So if a crime isn't reported, how is someone supposed to be convicted? More resources need to be given to rape cases, so that once reported, they will be successfully prosecuted. Once the police demonstrates that reporting a rape isn't likely useless, more rapes will be reported. I never mentioned anything about non-reports leading to convictions. Simply that neglecting the drop-off between the actual crime and reports of the crime makes tracking it more difficult and suggests problems in the po…	/r/MensRights	28/12/15 02:29 AM

She calls it "unwanted contact". Yeah, I would really like to see where these numbers got pulled from. Here's some from a DoJ funded study published by USC Medical Center [1]. Via a sample of the population, they estimate 20 million (18%) of women in the United States are raped, and compare it to the number of reported rapes (16% of the 20 million). The technical details of the survey, and how they sampled both the college and the general population are available on page 17. And how do we know this a bad thing, without context?…	/r/MensRights	28/12/15 01:38 AM
-4	Mary P. Koss thinks that it is "inappropriate" to consider men who have been raped by women as rape victims, because "their penetration experience is not similar to what women are reporting". She calls it "unwanted contact". Female rape victims are actually treated with respect and dignity. No. We need better ways of treating rape victims of both genders. Honestly, men shouldn't settle for the poor standard of care given to female rape victims. Saying how good female rape victims have it isn't the way to push this issue forward. Also, enough with the false dichotomy between male and female rape victims. Much better sexual education ("what is consent?"), more law enforcement resources to convict rapists, and changes …	/r/MensRights	27/12/15 11:08 PM
58	Male Privilege According to 20 years' worth of US DoJ data, men also account for over 90% of homicide perpetrators. Considering they're far less than 90% of homicide victims, murder rate by gender isn't such a raw deal. http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf	/r/MensRights	19/04/15 06:53 PM
