Take It Like a Man: Feminist attitudes towards male survivors of rape and abuse

I'm a woman that has been raped and this makes me RAGE!

It doesn't matter if it was a man or a woman that is raped. Rape is rape and the feelings are exactly the same. Rape victims are VICTIMS,no matter the sex of the attacker or the victim.

It's irrelevant. There are people with loud mouths and empty heads and they get way too much attention. They should be ignored.

What we can do is to raise awareness, get our police forces' training to be updated in order to be more empathetic towards these rape victims. I'm surprised that in this day and age it has not been done allready.

EDIT: It's stereo-typing like this, from the same site from Meghan: "I ask that we (continue) to view rape as gendered and (primarily) something that happens to women."

Using the exact same logic as Miss Murphy:

There are more men being sent on mission to Iraq to fight in the war. Therefor, women will be killed/wounded/maimed far less often while on mission in Iraq. Therefor, women dying/being wounded/maimed while on mission in Iraq, don't deserve the same caring and treatment that men do.

The post by meghan murphy makes me ashamed to call myself a feminist even though I consider myself one. Just to let everyone know, not every feminist views feminism to be just about women. My definition of feminism is equality for everyone and her article talks about equality for only women, not for men.

The post by Meghan Murphy that the Superfluous Man rebuts in this link has been updated as of 1/4/2011 to indicate she has been persuaded her original post uses bad arguments, is clearly offensive, and does not reflect her current views on the issue of male rape survivors.

So for those who called her on the bad logic, good job. However, please keep in mind that the original post is now out of date and officially recanted, and therefore no longer a strong indicator of feminist bias against male rape survivors.

"Feminist attitudes"

Sorry, you mean Megan Murphy's attitude.

Women truly are awful creatures.

In the interests of equality I must restore the balance: "Take It Like a Bitch: Chauvinists attitudes towards female survivors of rape and abuse."
