(33,224 posts)If your intent is something other than to excuse rape victimization among men and make it less important than victimization of women, then this observation is a complete non sequitur.
The race/gender/nationality/height/weight/IQ of the attacker does not matter to the search for justice for the victim.
It's actually pretty offensive, when you think about it. It's no different than saying that inner city crime is not such a problem because we all know that it's blacks perpetrating all those crimes.
The rape of men and boys is vastly underreported, but I haven't seen anything definitive that shows it's more common than rape of women and girls.
Rape of men and boys is qualitatively (if not quantitatively) every bit as important an issue as rape of women and girls.
