That was painful to read. Why do people not care about this?

“In Uganda, survivors are at risk of arrest by police, as they are likely to assume that they're gay – a crime in this country and in 38 of the 53 African nations. They will probably be ostracised by friends, rejected by family and turned away by the UN and the myriad international NGOs that are equipped, trained and ready to help women.”

Have you guys ever thought about this? In every war in every time period, the soldiers have been almost exclusively men. Before the soldiers ransacked the cities, are all of these men abstaining from sex? I honestly believe the sexual assault numbers on men are far higher then we could ever imagine.

Only a matter of time.

"There are certain things you just don't believe can happen to a man, you get me?"

Pretty much why this is not talked about

This also goes to show that rape has nothing to do with the person being raped, and more the subjugation and humiliation the rapist is inflicting.

It's not a 'men hates womens' -it's shitty people violating people in the most brutal manner possible.

One of the issues here is the same as with many other kinds of violence against men. The response will be "but the perpetrators are men!"

Of course, any sane human being would respond with "So what?!"

Modern society, on the other hand, and particularly the more hardline feminist parts of it, tend to nod sagely on the unspoken but absolute and inviolable assumption that the only type of violence that matters is that where the victim is female.

On reading the post here, my first thought was "The Guardian reporting in favour of men?!"

Then I realised it's from 2011. Yeah, ten years ago the feminist takeover there was far from complete. Will Storr only gets his slushy pieces published there these days.

There are quite a lot of studies of men raped in war/battlefield/the military in general. Here is one academic study but an internet search brings up plenty of uncomfortable reading.

Read the article very true especially in Ukrainian military prisoners being raped by Russian soldiers, the world needs to know how evil Russia is

not gonna read it, but i assume it's about men raping other men?

“Everybody has heard the women’s story, but no body has heard the men’s” that’s tragic to hear, but unfortunately true

Couldn’t read the whole thing it was painful
