Good luck, men have so few reproductive rights that refusing to impregnate is taboo.

There are around 1 million male survivors of sexual assault in Australia.

And of the 6,875 survivors to testify at the royal commission into child sexual abuse, almost 65 per cent were male.

Uh-oh. Threat to the feminist narrative spotted! Change course immediately!

Gary Foster, the founder and manager of Living Well, a support service for male survivors of rape and sexual assault, says this has a lot to do with the socialisation of men.

"For males, the idea is that you're supposed to be strong, stoic, self-reliant, able to take care of yourself, nobody's meant to be able to put one over on you," Dr Foster says.

No. We as men are not allowed to revel in victimhood as women are. Nobody admires how beautifully we suffer and rushes to our aid. When a woman suffers, men ask "what's wrong?" When a man suffers, women ask "what's wrong with him?"

When rates of sexual violence against women far outstrip those against men, is now the time for men to be claiming space at the centre of public attention?

Case-in-point. It's the women's hour. No space for you at the #MeToo party. You got raped? It's totally worse when it happens to a woman. Now man-up and walk it off.

"The majority of sexual perpetrators are male. Harvey Weinstein has blown this up, and it's fantastic that we've now got the silence-breakers and the truth-tellers coming forward and naming that.

And the media would sooner climb a tree in a rainstorm than dedicate any substantial coverage to gay pedophiles (and no gay ≠ pedophile). Most recently, has anyone noticed the rather deafening silence about Kevin Spacey's indiscretions?

And may Aqua Buddha have mercy on your soul if you even dream of talking about female pedophiles. Middle school boys being preyed on by adult women teachers. They're supposed to be thankful and ask for more.

"So how do we include male survivors? Because the fear is that if we include males and have some sort of generic response to all this, then we could lose the recognition that females are more likely to be sexually assaulted.

There's a word for this, what am I look for here? It's right on the tip of my tongue.

GYNOCENTRISM, perhaps?

"LANSING, Michigan - Most people think you have to either adopt or conceive a baby to become legally responsible for a child. Under Michigan law, that is simply not how it works."

"I never even slept with her,” said Anthony Sims of the mother of the child he is paying for. "I had a lawsuit when I was young. She said that is the money I am going to get and she got it.”

“I am getting garnished. I am getting thrown in jail. I am getting felony charges,” said Sims.
