Real men get raped

Although I hate the term "real men", I think it's a good thing someone actually is willing to consider men as victims. It's a huge step forwards if people in general will do the same. Less gynocentrism and outright misandric bigotry is a win for men's rights, I'd say.

I think it is a nice play on the term real men. It'd be better if they add some small texts like: "On TV men are never depicted as victims of rape, but in the real world, [insert statistics] of men are being raped each year."

I think it's a great start.

Obviously there are teething issues, as pointed out in the write-up, but in general, I don't think ANY public education on rape is bad.

Good ad campaign. I hope it gains tons of support.

I agree slightly with the author of the article about the wording. Adding "Real men DO get raped," or "Real men CAN get raped" or something like that might help the message ever so slightly. I can still see why they are taking this specific slant to coincide with the sporting event. Either way, any exposure is good exposure.

Now I'd like to see some ad campaigns dispelling the myth that only men commit child sexual or physical abuse, or that only men can be pedophiles or hebephiles.
