Misandry and the belief that anything with a penis is evil, even if the individual in question doesn't even want to have a penis
No, but that is a compelling narrative.
It’s because men sexually assault women a lot. Like, an awful amount. Children, relatives, the whole thing: 1 out of 3 women have been sexually assaulted. That’s why it’s different.
You are absolutely right and this so obvious, yet, I see that you get about 50% downVotes and those might be from people I usually block.
As a male victim of TWO count 'em TWO sexual assaults perpetrated by TWO count em TWO different women, "fuck me, I don't matter."
You gonna bring up that I "obviously wanted it because I'm a man" next? Go ahead and block me for downvoting both that comment and yours, make my lemmy a better place.
Thanks for your important testimony. I have come to believe that your case in is an exception but I have no means of knowing this for sure and I apologize for being triggering.
My case isn't an exception, it happens more frequently then you'd like to believe and is seldom reported to another human much less law enforcement because men get laughed out of police stations and made fun of by friends. All the worse if the woman is conventionally attractive. In many localities the legal definition of rape is even phrased as "requiring penetration," meaning in many areas (most of the US and iirc all of the UK included, plus more) women can't get charged with rape they can only get charged with "sexual assault" at worst. There are many resources for woman victims but not one for male victims, males are not welcome in the women's groups. Most people you talk to about it just want to tell you some variation of "I pretend I care about male victims but here's why women are more important than you."
It happened years ago and I've learned to live with it now, I don't need pity. I need people to stop invalidating male victims, pretending they don't exist, pretending we don't matter due to volume, etc, to help the ones it happens to now. Fuck me I'm fine now, but whatever dude it happens to today somewhere out there in the world could use some help.
