| 0 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?If someone regards men being assaulted as less severe, I would be surprised if it was because they attach more severity to one word than the other, rather than the sexist stereotypes and pressures men face to uphold patriarchal masculinity. I don’t doubt that it matters to some victims, and if they want to organize to change the definition of rape, and this is what the majority of male victims support, and they have good reasons to believe this would be helpful and where their energy should go, … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/07/26 06:54 AM |

| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?Can you name these feminists? Whenever I hear this, I always find that people won't name names. But why not, if they are proud of this belief, it should be easy for me to confirm this and that they are a feminist, right? Could they lie? Yes. Would they if they truly believed this and it was a common belief among feminists? Probably not. What feminist groups are they a part of? Are there any feminist groups that have this as an official stance? The founder of a Voice for Men, which was one of the… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/07/26 05:42 AM |
| 0 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?This was actually the one major issue I had with the NISVS. It listed 'nagging' as a form of emotional abuse. Now, it asked men and women the same questions, but nagging is clearly a gendered term. Can nagging be emotional abuse? Sure. Is all nagging? No. Maybe they changed it, but I felt it drastically overestimated emotional abuse, specifically for men, because of this question. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/07/26 05:26 AM |
| -1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?Sexism. The big ugly elephant in the room is that anti-feminism is always reactionary, bigoted, and has little concern for facts. Women aren't believed because they are women. This is a survey that asked both men and women the same questions, yet somehow only the women's data is questioned. All the objections to it are easily debunked by going to the site, or calling the hotline. If people honestly believe that there is a conspiracy to inflate rape stats, they would actually look into it, confro… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/07/26 05:22 AM |
| 0 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?The reality is 1 in 5 women will face rape at least some point in her life, this stat has been repeatedly found to be true by dozens of studies across the globe. Feminists have consistently been advocates for male victims of rape but NOT when this involves derailing conversations about women as victims. It was feminists that fought to get male victims of rape included in the official definition of rape. Are there people that are jerks? Yeah. Are they feminists? Not usually, but even if they are,… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/07/26 04:47 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?It seems to me like this quote is being presented as if to say women can't victimize men, or in the very least can't rape men, which is not what she is saying. The sentence before the quote in the picture starts talks about men who are raped, doing so in a way that is gender-neutral rather than indicating that it is always men that are raped by men. Though that part is excluded, as including the prior sentence would have made it harder to use the quote to imply that women can't rape men. I think… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/07/26 09:56 AM |

The CDC using the legal definition of rape and not your preferred version, and listing these things separately is not the same as not counting male victims of rape/other forms of sexual assault. And I'm well accustomed to anti-feminists who do not want to … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/07/26 04:04 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?I appreciate the sentiment, though I think the bigger problem is lack of reporting, which is not surprising considering how cops have been shown to not take victims seriously, or not take crimes seriously when they do, when they're not, you know, sexually assaulting people themselves... but the conviction rate is 1-2%. Bigger picture, for profit prisons, our criminal justice system in general is designed to protect property, not our rights or safety. And of course, prisons probably cause more ra… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 08:05 PM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?Can you give me some examples of this? This chapter gives a good overview of well-cited rape stats, as well as the prevalence of rape myths and how they harm victims, how it is common to believe false rape reports are common and done out of malice despite rape being one of, if not the least reported crime, as well as the low likelihood of conviction compared to other violent crimes. The misconceptions spread about rape, and rape myths that are most common are those that hurt victims, not that ex… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 08:00 PM |
| 0 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?The CDC does NOT use the 'old definition', of knowing someone in the carnal sense, no one does. The NISVS is done in tandem with the justice department so it uses the legal definition. You can find the defintion on page 2 of the 2023/2024 summary. https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/media/pdfs/sexualviolence-brief.pdf And women CAN rape men. Where did Mary Koss ever say rape can't happen to men, and if she said this, why does the NISVS have a male rape stat with every report? This is from the 2023/2024 re… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 07:41 PM |
| 1 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessSorry I'm not trying to give you a hard time but WTF? Seriously go to google scholar, search endometriosis, and tell me how many studies use cadavers for their study. If any, honestly- why would this be the only way to study it, and why would hysterectomies be involved, when the disease is very basic sense is about tissue that is supposed to be in the uterus growing outside the uterus, so you'd want to be looking everywhere BUT there, right? Why would you need cadavers to study gene expression, … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 06:44 PM |
| 1 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessI guess, if you want research to be based around profit and investors desires. I would hope most leftists want the opposite, it certainly doesn't seem egalitarian. This is only the 'reality of medical research' under capitalism, which warps medical research into caring about profits and shareholders rather than health and wellness, the public good. If this ad made you realize this, I'd say that it's an effective ad, even if you came to the wrong conclusion, specifically, that things are always f… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 06:37 PM |
| 1 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessI don't understand why that would hamper research, that would be exactly why it should be funded more. Maybe I don't get what you mean, as far as 'difficult to research'. Because not a lot is known about it? That makes it easier to research: there are so many topics open, so many fields that could contribute, so many avenues yet unexplored: limitations arise when you have a topic that is well understood, and it is hard to find an angle that hasn't already been explored. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 06:24 PM |
| 1 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessIt seems I've misjudged you, and you do seem to me more well rounded than the standard red pillers or class reductionists I'm more accustomed to. So I thought I'd share this with you: THIS is the infamous 'but are endo suffers hot' study. I assumed it was yet another misunderstood study/clickbait when I read the headlines. No, they really had 8 people give their opinions on how hot their patients' endo were, complete with info on their breast sizes and how young they were when they first had sex… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 06:17 PM |
| 1 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessI'd argue that it is underhanded to make this about you, and your belief that everything that points out the ways women's health research is often underfunded is an excuse to make you the victim, rather than those who suffer form a chronic, incredibly painful and debilitating disease. They don't say that evil men did this. They point out that it happened. If you see everything that happens under patriarchy as due to men, that's on you. If you think women don't uphold patriarchy (or blame women f… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/07/26 12:40 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?I would say this reveals that the only exposure you have feminists: that is, you know none that are leftists. Which is kind of what I see on this group in general: there leftists that I would wager actually active IRL and know socialist feminists. And then those who have ceded feminism to the liberals and have adopted this hypocritical antifeminism that enures that most women stay as far away from them as possible due to the views they have, which end up being self-fulfilling. A lot in the same … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/07/26 02:52 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?I believe that many people are skeptical that 20% of women are raped in their life because they feel like they would know if this is true of the women close to them. But that's just not the case, for many reasons. There is a lot of shame, it is something not a lot of people want to talk about, much less disclose. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/07/26 02:25 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?What is a 'brutal' rape in your mind? Rape is penetration without consent. Either because the person did not consent or could not because they were to intoxicated to consent. If certain rapes are acceptable because they aren't 'brutal', in your opinion, than it stands to reason that this is true for male victims as well. And yes, the bulk of the research: what NISVS has shown year after year, what prior studies have shown if you account for what they measured (as they often didn't count incapaci… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/26 12:43 PM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?As someone who worked on the NISVS, who spent months of my life interviewing people for it, I can say with confidence we never asked how much alcohol or drugs people consumed. You can find the questions on the CDC's website. And perhaps the questions have changed since I haven't been there in years (though it hasn't changed the results) Where are you getting this from? First, this would be impossible for people who were drugged without their knowledge, to answer. How would they know how much dru… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/26 12:25 PM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?It was feminist women that fought to get rape to include male victims in the legal definition. So it is strange to blame feminists for not taking male rape victims seriously. I have tried to find any example of anti-feminists, MRAs or the like doing anything in the last 50 years to help male victims of sexual assault, and come up empty. I'm not saying they all take the view of Stefan Molyneux on this, but I can't find any great examples that prove so.

| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?There are ways, but the survey itself can't ask 'are you lying to us' and expect this to be useful. Afaik underreporting, on surveys, is about the same between men and women. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/26 11:59 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?You are conflating 'underreporting' which is whether people report their assault to authorities, and 'reporting assault to a surveyor' which is a different question, and one that is hard for a survey to ask about. But most major studies do consider underreporting. One way this is improved is by asking people about specific events, not relying on a person defining what happened to them as rape, as people are hesitant to do this, especially if they were assaulted by a family member or someone they… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/26 11:58 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?Where are you getting the stat of 85.3% of people who rape men are women? Most rapists are men simply because, excluding some trans women, women would have to be rape another person with objects or their fingers. And this does happen, mind you, rape is a crime of violence, not of lust. But it is most common when men can't complete a rape but still wants to harm a victim. I did find that most male rapists are heterosexual, I don't think most studies publish a 'most male rapists are men' stat beca… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/26 11:54 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?No, the definition used by studies like the NISVS state clearly that someone has to be intoxicated to the point that they cannot consent, it is not just 'any sex while drunk. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/26 11:29 AM |
| 1 | Why do feminists feel the need to overinflate rape statistics? What's the real number?I personally worked on the NISVS study, which is the largest survey of IPV undertaken by humankind to date, and it has consistently proven the 1 in 5 statistic, year after year. Countless studies have shown that people are much more likely to MINIMIZE sexual assault and rape. This is one reason we asked about times when person was penetrated when they did not consent or could not give consent due to being incapacitated from drugs or alcohol. Note we made clear this is not any sex when intoxicate… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/26 08:57 AM |

Misandry?I've been told the difference between a scientist and everyone else is how they react when confronted with extensive, reliable, independent, peer-reviewed data that invalidates a view they currently hold. (or, at least a good scientist) The reaction of every MRA/pro-patriarchyist/anti-feminist to this list, thussofar, has never been one of a good scientist.

And that's a very charitable interpretation of your original claim, which implied there WERE no similar websites offering support for men's health.

And internet search engines have been around longer than any of the websites listed above. Is that how you honestly use the internet?
