In which I am legit "what about the menz"
Feb. 16th, 2011 08:30 pmNo seriously, what about the menz? As in male survivors of rape, I mean. As a bit of background, male survivors are starting to come forward in greater numbers, and now account for roughly 10% of survivors of sexual assault.
But according to the FBI's reporting guidelines, if you're a man, you can't be raped.
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THIS FUCKERY?
WHO DO I NEED TO YELL AT SO THIS SHITTY BULLSHIT GETS SHITCANNED?
ON WHAT PLANET DOES FORCED/COERCED SEX NOT COUNT AS RAPE?
I AM CAPSLOCKING AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO.
Note: yeah, the patriarchy is behind this. Why, you ask? Because the idea that forms the basis for this shit is that women don't like sex, and men will take all the sex they can get willingly. So, you see, he must have wanted it. Because he's a man! With URGES. Etc. The patriarchy makes shit suck for men and women by enforcing bullshit gender stereotypes. How often do we have to say this for it to sink in?
