CDC skewed rape statistics to make it appear as though fewer males are raped than actually are

I was about to play the devil's advocate and suggest that they were bound by the US federal definition of rape, but they don't seem to be.

I don't dispute that rape can be defined as "sexual assault wherin the victim is penetrated." But I don't see why it's useful to separate such instances from "Non consentual sex" in general.

Not that I really object... but I just find it kind of odd that this is only coming to light right now.

I mean, for quite a while I've known that the CDC grouped "made to penetrate" with "non-contact unwanted sexual experiences" instead of you know... rape.

Fortunately for us, the CDC, unlike many of the other feminist studies,... still includes the data for "made to penetrate", so anyone who isn't sexist can still see the truth.

What the CDC has done really boils down to this:

When the method of a sexual assault consists of the perpetrator's use of the perpetrator's genitals to physically attack the victim's genitals, the CDC gender-discriminates by using a different term to describe the act depending on the genders of the involved parties. When a man does it to a woman, they call it rape. When a woman does it to a man, they don't.

The CDC has, in doing this, articulated an aspect of male disposability. They have said that do not consider a specific act to be as severe of a personal violation if it is committed against a man.

The CDC is funding bad science? Colored me shocked - gun owners.

Has anyone made an at a glance chart for their findings and also a comparison chart with the gender nutral aspect applied?

I would specifically be intereted in

male to male rape
female to male rape
male to female rape
female to female rape
male and female to male
male and female to female

arent we all agreed yet that statistics mean very little no matter what they are on.
