Although people differ in thousands of ways and no two people are the same, I've noticed male rape or even the idea of a man being raped is either impossible or a joke in the eyes of many.
Although I have never experienced being sexually assaulted myself, I am repeatedly shocked by the lack of care and sincerity that Male rape victims have to endure post-encounter with what happened to them being trivialized by many feminists and conservative alike.
I think the reason this bothers me so much however is I've recently (thanks largely to this subreddit) began to evaluate my views on gender equality and I've come to consider the gross and heart breaking reality that Females being raped/sexually assaulted is simply considered a larger issue than a male being violated.
The reason I've been thinking about this so much lately is I recently saw "This is the end" which is a fantastic comedy (imo) but SPOILER there is a scene where it is heavily implied that one of the actors is being sexually assaulted by a demon.
I get that this was a joke and I'm not really one for dictating whats appropriate and I'm certainly not an advocate for censorship (especially in comedy) but it struck me as deeply wrong that this scene was included purely for comedic purposes.
I can just imagine what would happen if instead a woman was implied to have been raped by a demon and I think it's very safe to assume it wouldn't have been passed off as comedy and would have made world headlines as a violation of all woman sexual assault victims around the globe.
I just felt like venting my frustrations at this mentality and I felt this would probably be the best place to get discussion on this sort of thing. Sorry if this isn't really a appropriate topic of discussion because this sub-reddit usually handles much more important news and happenings.
Thanks for reading guys!
Edit: lots of spelling and grammatical mistakes :P
