I do agree that there is usually a difference between rape and killing such as killing in self defence. However there are many video games where you can kill innocent people (usually men) for no reason which I think is on the same level as rape. I think honestly a lot of people also have a problem with video games where you can kill women but are fine with violence against men.

My main problem with this though is saying that men have a blind spot to this amount of suffering from rape as if every woman has been raped and knows about it and no man ever has.

They say rape can never be justified but I saw people joking and saying the original poster should go to jail and get raped. There are so many rape jokes about men and many people make comments about bad men going to prison and getting raped.

There are also movies/shows such as the girl with the dragon tattoo, I spit on your grave, orange is the new black, etc. where a man gets raped as revenge. If a man is a rapist or does something horrible, beat him up or kill him (in fiction) or something but why rape him??

It’s because they don’t see rape as tragic and traumatic when it happens to men. They see it as embarrassing, humiliating and emasculating and so it’s a justifiable punishment. It also shows a level of homophobia too, as well as misandry.
