Why does he even have to ask this.

Remember:

Since 1929, rape has been defined as “the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will.”

That definition, which included only men having sex with women without their consent, excluded other forms of sexual assault, such as oral penetration and the rape of men.

It was not till Obama updated that law that it changed to include women raping men.

I'm not surprised he is confused about whether he was raped or not. He has probably heard that men can't be raped.

It's mostly because of the gendered definition of rape from generations has convinced men and women that men can't be raped. What a silent way to deter boys from reporting their teachers and to make them think that it's an achievement.

See, I just commented how the younger generation are the catalyst for our rights. They all stick up for true equal rights and don't have a toxic motive or narrative.

People say this because many jurisdictions define rape as being penetrated with a penis. And this man wasn't penetrated with a penis so he doesn't meet the legal criteria for rape.

He was undoubtedly sexually assaulted though.

Whether or not the law is fair is debatable but much like you can't call someone that committed manslaughter a convicted murderer, you can't call a sexual assaulter a rapist. At least not without the potential blowback if you're a media outlet.
