Same here in the US. Rape, sexual assault, and a lot of other violent crime are at 30 year lows. You wouldn't be able to tell this with the current rape hysteria and lazy reporting, though.

Men are seeing, often for the first time in their lives, the incalculable damage sexual assault wreaks upon its survivors. These raw confessions are often not only cathartic for survivors, but bruisingly instructive for men, too.

This is grotesque. Men (as boys) have always overwhelmingly been the victims of institutional sexual abuse, to the point where it was widely considered normal not criminal. They have always overwhelmingly been the victims of child physical abuse. Claiming that no men understand the impact of abuse is such as offensively absurd claim it really destroys the rest of this article's credibility.

"Is pornography playing a role? While it would be a quantum leap to directly attribute falling sex crimes in the UK to rising porn consumption, it would mirror other pan-nation studies such as the one carried out in Denmark, Germany and Sweden in the 1970s when the three nations legalised porn. If this were true, it would fly in the face of the anti-pornograpers’ script: namely that all porn leads to violent porn and violent porn leads to real-world sexual violence, because some men just can’t control their urges.
