Finally some recognition that men can also be raped: Woman complains that no one has asked if she is OK.

Finally, an argument that resonates with feminism. "Let's do something so no woman has to carry the emotional baggage of having a husband who was raped."

I want to give the woman the benefit of the doubt and assume that she isn't as narcissistic as she sounds. She stuck by her husband through his pain and only a psychopath would do that for personal gain and living with a broken person must be hard but man... that writing team did not do her any service imo.

I appreciate the article, it really speaks up to the issue and you can feel his pain and suffering. It tears you up and makes you want to do something about it, it's really powerful.

What I don't appreciate is the constant "yeah, my husband is in bad shape, but am I okay? Has someone asked me if I was okay?" from her. I mean, I get it, it must be hard being in that scenario, but if you want to speak about the issue and do something for your husband, can you please focus on him instead of you? Because for once, this is not about you

If this was written from the perspective of a man caring for a raped woman... HOLY SHIT BALLS it would go viral and this dude would be on a bridge ready to jump.

Facts are this kind of emotional, mental, and sometimes physical destruction of another person touches every aspect of their lives and the people that love them.

We should do some thi g about male rape because it also affects women... Actual what the fuck.. Hillary Clinton much?... But i must look at the silver lining that being if enough women complain the politicians might move some papers

I don't blame her OP, being put in that situation is very stressful and horrible specially since you don't have any 'right' to lash out, ever.

Sure you can say the guy got the worst of it, but she's also a human being, and even while being understanding, you can still get frustrated. Except in her case she can't ever lash out without being seen as narcissistic or self centered or a horrible human being.

Just reverse the roles, and imagine your girlfriend got raped and lived in a constant state of being distant, depressed and overall barely functional when it comes to a relationship. Sure you'd be super understanding at first but eventually the stress of having to care for a person while putting your own needs aside would become frustrating and slowly unbearable. Except you can't break up with her without being seen as a monster, nor you can complain about it, else you'll just be a 'selfish person that has no idea what she's going through'.

This woman stuck with her husband through thick and thin, she's allowed to talk about her side of things for once.
