(22,336 posts)But the large majority of adult rape is against women. And I don't want to minimize male rape, as I am sure it is just as awful and horrifying and difficult. The only problem I have is the irritation of seeing a thread about an issue women overwhelmingly face over men, and having a bunch of posts pop up saying, "But what about the men?" Yes, men are raped as well, though not as often. But does it control the lives of all men as much, the worrying about where you park your car, the wondering if you should go out tonight to pick up groceries or wait until the morning because it is getting dark out, all the things we do in our life to try to make ourselves less likely to be victimized. Rape happens more to women than men, and certainly the constant worry about rape is also an issue mostly faced by women.
