http://www.cdc.gov/ViolencePrevention/pdf/NISVS_Report2010-a.pdf Tables 2.1 and 2.2 from the report, pulled out here with commentary for your convenience: http://i.imgur.com/lwS0W.png

2010 numbers near identical. Lifetime numbers still separate. Why? I'll copy from myself yesterday:

This study: Widom C. S. and Morris S., Accuracy of Adult Recollections of Childhood Victimization: Part 2. Childhood Sexual Abuse It looked at men and women with past, documented cases of sexual abuse. This is a quote from the study:

16% of men with documented cases of sexual abuse considered their early childhood experiences sexual abuse, compared with 64% of women with documented cases of sexual abuse. These gender differences may reflect inadequate measurement techniques or an unwillingness on the part of men to disclose this information

It includes more types of sexual abuse than rape specifically, but it isn't too much of a stretch to assume the same is true to some degree with rape. The CDC data is self-reported, so while both are going to be under reported, the men's lifetime numbers are going to be drastically lower than the actual numbers as compared to women's.

This was all in the genderratic post that you ignored, by the way.
