(6,086 posts)How "bout Herb Baumgartner or Wayne Williams or JEFFREY DAHMER? No? What about David Betts in the UK who RAPED another man HE KNEW at KNIFEPOINT? Doesn't ring a bell?
Then surely, you've heard of this:"THIS IS not an isolated case. In Glasgow a man says: 'I can only tell you about the pain, because pain is all I feel.' Two years ago he was dragged on to a field at dusk by three men, one of whom he knew.In Birmingham, a man who was raped and beaten by a stranger in a park at nightfall says his life has been ruined.
Don't recall? Well how about this:In the UK in May, a man was assaulted on the London Underground. Between August and November men were raped in Kent, Barrow-in-Furness, Cardiff, Manchester, and Birmingham. In the London area there were attacks in Croydon, London Bridge, Streatham, Finsbury Park and Piccadilly Circus. Last month a 30-year-old man claimed he was raped by a gang of drunken soldiers near army barracks in Aldershot.
Don't have anything to say? Hmmm. What about this: Men RAPING other MEN in the AMERICAN MILITARY! It's been all over the news and I find it hard to believe that all the rapists were 7 ft tall 400 lb gorillas attacking 5'6" 98 lb weaklings. RAPE is ALWAYS a crime of VIOLENCE, POWER & DOMINATION. What all these crimes have in common is the creep has power on his side, ( a group of perverts that he claims membership in, a WEAPON or IMPLIED power, ie, a commanding officer etc)...I don't know if that was the ULTIMATE aim of that motherfucker but Trayvon had EVERY RIGHT TO BELIEVE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE INTENT!
Greg Jeloudov was a 35 year old Russian Immigrant and joined the military in his new country. He was taunted by his fellow recruits for being Russian born and after 2 weeks in the barracks, HE WAS GANG RAPED BY OTHER MEN!
Remember when men NEVER rape other MEN & BOYS? Yeah, me neither.
