[...] when asked about experiences in the last 12 months, men reported being â€made to penetrateâ€â€”either by physical force or due to intoxication—at virtually the same rates as women reported rape (both 1.1 percent inÂ2010, and 1.7 and 1.6 respectively inÂ2011).

In other words, if being made to penetrate someone was counted as rape—and why shouldn’t it be?—then the headlines could have focused on a truly sensational CDC finding: that women rape men as often as men rape women.


I know this is really old, but it genuinely blew my mind when I read it, so I thought it would be worth a discussion.

The narrative on abuse of any kind is that only women can suffer it. That is why there is no discussion of how women make up 71% of child abusers and child killings, and 60% of child victims are boys.

Because the metric for rape of women was by physical force or intoxication

Sounds like the researchers had an agenda to downplay the trauma of forcible rape

Moral of the story, everyone needs to start taking responsibility for their behaviour if they choose to get fucked up.
