In the first gulf war, an interview with a US chopper pilot (female) who was captured along with her male crew in the first gulf war was asked by the interviewer if she had been raped when she was captured and she just shrugged it off; She said: 'yes', it was just rough sex. She said she was thankful every day she wasn't going through the real abuse that the men were going through down the hall.

In an interview with the New York Times, she said the sexual assault "ranks as unpleasant; that's all it ranks....everyone's made such a big deal about this indecent assault, but the only thing that makes it indecent is that it was non-consensual. I asked myself, 'Is it going to prevent me from getting out of here? Is there a risk of death attached to it? Is it permanently disabling? Is it permanently disfiguring? Lastly, is it excruciating?' If it doesn't fit one of those five categories, then it isn't important." She continued, "there's a phenomenal amount of focus on this for the women but not for the men," citing that the "mistreatment of [fellow POW] Major Jeffrey S. Tice of the Air Force, who had a tooth explode from its socket when he was tortured with jolts of electricity."

Men exposed to torture in war experience greater torture techniques and longer imprisonment than women

Even though men get the shorter end of the stick, the public cares more about the women than the men who suffer a fate that's orders of magnitude worse than rape.
