Breaking the silence on men and rape

Clearly, there are still far more women who are raped than men.

It's not clear at all.

But justice is no zero-sum game. Acknowledging male suffering doesn't diminish the need to stop sexual violence against women. It just sheds a stereotype that no longer serves men or women. For men to be thinking hard about how to be better fathers and husbands can only benefit women, as can the acknowledgment that men are all too often victims of rape.

This. Rape is a problem of humanity. Even how it is dealt with is pretty similar between the genders. Similar to how slut walk combats the view that women who dress in a certain manner 'deserve' rape, we need to combat the view that a mans perceived sex drive means he wants any and all sexual contact that may be forced upon him.
