Women rape men as often as men rape women

Is this...is this actually in Time magazine? An actual, major, american magazine? It would be promising if it was.

Still bias, assumes most male reporting is drunken mistakes, and states that women are definitely the majority of real victims.

The article initially gets our hopes up, but it eventually disappoints...

most of us would agree that to equate a victim of violent rape

and a man who engages in a drunken sexual act he wouldn’t have chosen when sober

is to trivialize a terrible crime.

It is safe to assume that the vast majority of the CDC’s male respondents who were “made to penetrate” someone

would not call themselves rape victims—and with good reason.

As Erry points out, the is no support for

(a) saying there is a good reason for men not calling themselves rape victims

Although it may be 'safe to assume' that most men would not call themselves this, many would argue that this is for a bad reason, due to cultural conditioning that invalidates our rapes.

(b) the false dichotomy that there are only victims of violent rape and men who engage in drunken sex acts, ignoring other situations.

The article teases at retribution by initially seeming to treat women fairly even if on a basis of misunderstanding:

it is just as misleading to equate a woman’s experience of alcohol-addled sex with

the experience of a rape victim who is either physically overpowered or attacked when genuinely incapacitated.

But then, we are let down once again by this bullshit:

For purely biological reasons, there is little doubt that adult victims of such crimes are mostly female

It dumbs down statistics of violence victimization to 'pure biology'. But whether or not people are victims of violence is not pure biology. It is not just about who is taller or who has more muscle mass.

Women can wield weapons that compensate for their average lesser might.

Women can drug men, men are not solely intoxicated by substances they consent to take.

Women can attack men in their sleep, perhaps tying them up first to negate their strength advantage.

Men may not feel empowered to use their might in self-defense, because if they do, they may be perceived as the aggressor and put in jail, where they may be raped and murdered by people who are harder to resist. They may also be murdered outside of jail even if they are exonerated.

I'm barely scratching the surface here.

Cathy Young is a sneaky person. She couches feminist rhetoric in the illusion of empathy for men. When really, she's trying to tear up our arguments by giving it a nod as if it were a false flag, and then deconstructing the straw-man she has built.

Although it does occur to me to interpret this statement another way, although I don't think Cathy had it in mind based on the remainder of her article.

For purely biological reasons

there is little doubt that

adult victims of such crimes are mostly female

If you took the first and last line while ignoring the middle, you would read it as I initially interpreted it, a claim that adult victims are mostly female due to biological reasons...

But if we focus on the second line...

Perhaps biology is what makes people have very little, namely INADEQUATE doubt, of the proposed idea of adult victims being mostly female.

Perhaps biologically speaking, we have instinctive conditioning (well supplemented by societal conditioning) that women make up the majority of victims and that men are rarely victimized.

Not because this is the reality, but because biology sways our judgment, and our doubts.

Time Magazine did a report on a common misconception that could ACTUALLY backfire for them? I never thought I'd see the day.

I was raped by a girl at a high school party, i had been drinking passed out in a room was awaken with her on top of me just fucking away i enjoyed it very much and was happy to go along with it She was a girl i had flirted with all night. That was about ten years ago now when i think about it i think that she raped me I'm not distraught by that it really was a great night but that doesn't change the fact that she raped me.

I definitely don't hear about the opposite as much as men raping women.
