Where was the Feminist Outrage Over These?: A List of 140+ (and growing) Films that Play Sexual Assault Against Men for Comedy

But, but, but ..... Trivialising sexual assaults and mocking victims or excusing offenders are all supposed to be red flags that identify " Rape Culture". So where are the Womyn's Studies activists and post grad Thesis Brigades writing in protest and for brownie points .... Or do we just see proof here of double standards and Male Disposability ..

I wish there was a short description for each movie of the specific example, because in some of these films I might have missed it or can't remember it or I haven't seen the film at all or in a long time

I'm not sure if that's possible to do on that website, though. Still, I'm glad there's a list for it. There could be one where it's played for eroticism or romance, as well; there'd be a lot of films on that one

Here's another list of media that makes light of sexual abuse against men

It´s so weird seeing John Macintosh on a social men´s issue.

Wow, I knew this was common, but I had no idea it happened so often. Damn.

Asking why the feminist don't fight against this type of "jokes" or mockery is like asking "where was the feminist outrage while the black people in the US were being discriminated" or "where was the feminist outrage when child sexual trafficking was expanding in some X countries" etc. Different activist fight different "wrongs" (at least this is how they see them)

Though to some extent I do agree that this cause could also be supported by feminists because - in my experience - one of the most common mistakes in these movies, that is laughing about men being raped in prison, is a joke commonly made by men. For example, whenever I see a post on Facebook about a pedophile, while women readers wish upon him all kinds of sufferings, they are barely ever "I hope you get raped in prison".

Also, the women that fight again sexual assault on women, equal right for women etc probably do it because THEY ARE WOMEN and have a better understanding of the problems WOMEN face. The reason why there's not enough talk about what men go through is because there are not enough men.. activists? I am not saying that it would be impossible or wrong for women to support these kind of causes too, but if they're busy with their own problems, what's stopping men from promoting their rights, from fighting for them, from telling the world what is not right? Because you do know that many things in this world have changed, perception wise, after being promoted, being talked about enough and all that.

Take Terry Crews' case, for example, the guy actually made an effort, exposed himself, it really was huge for making the society see this kind of cases as actually being possible, actually happening. And he was actually met with pretty much a lot of support, I guess? At least that's how I felt it. Except for some case, but guess what? That happens to "feminist" all the damn time.

Fighting for a cause, no matter what cause, is not easy of course. But I don't think that it help your cause - whoever you is - to belittle other people's causes. Making fun or being angry at feminist for only sharing "their" stories, is not gonna make "your" stories heard, known, is not gonna change "your" situation, etc.

So, I think an article like that would have a much bigger impact if there was no mention of the "feminist that are not outraged by X" and would just focus on the actual problem...

It's just like back when feminists first brought up a huge stink about the game "Rape-Lay" (which portrayed the rapist as an unequivocally evil man), they said nothing about what was at the time that same publisher's latest game "Yuusha kara wa Nigerarenai!" (You can't escape the Heroine).

Yuusha featured a protagonist that was designated evil*, and his repeatedly being stalked, beaten, and raped by the female "heroic" NPCs is treated as a subject of comedy.

*never shown doing anything evil other than acting like a chuuni/large ham

You boys here are anti feminists, not MRA's. MRA's wouldn't even mention feminism here, they would say "this is a problem, what can we do to fix it?", anti feminists say, "feminists are trash for not fixing this problem". You do nothing to help men, you just bash on women and feminism and sjw's all day every day without doing anything at all to actually help and support men.
