Male rape, harassment and domestic abuse to be tackled by new government drive

UK still defines rape as something only men can do.

The only fucking "special need" the government needed to recognize is the "special need" men had to not be fucked over because of their sex by the government. But of course that's still happening. Even within that article they dismiss male victims and double down on their apartheid laws:

A paper issued by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said that crimes covered by its existing Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy (VAWG) were experienced “disproportionately” by women but also had a distressing impact on men.

This is all illegal under EU law which the UK is still subject to.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, said: “The way society views masculinity can make it very difficult for men and boys who are the victims of sexual and domestic offences to come forward.

Maybe, just maybe, they're worried that you'll prosecute them at the slightest hint of an accusation from their abuser.

Solicitor General Robert Buckland said: “It is a fact often overlooked that men and boys can also be victims of domestic abuse, rape, stalking, forced marriage and other crimes more regularly associated with violence against women and girls.

Yes, it's even overlooked when men try to report these crimes. Amazing, ain't it.

Now whether they'll do anything meaningful is anyone's guess, I'm guessing the likelihood is low, and that probably this is just a smokescreen to make it look like they are doing something. Time will tell I guess.

Edit: Ah yes, just read the article to the end.

Katie Ghose, the chief executive of Women’s Aid, said it would continue helping to improve data showing the gender of victims and perpetrators, their relationship and other information.

“We are pleased that they recognise that women’s inequality is both a root cause and consequence of violence against women, and that domestic abuse is far from gender-neutral,” she added.

“The vast majority of domestic abuse is experienced by women and perpetrated men, with women making up 89 per cent of victims of four or more incidents of abuse.”

So it's really about female victims after all.
