General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The vast majority of men have never raped nor thought about raping anyone. [View all]What if a woman has raped me by forcing her vagina onto my penis? And she did it to me when I was a child, too! Several times. Will I be allowed to hold any opinion about the subject of rape, even though I have testicles?
Am I allowed to hold an opinion on my own rape? ...or is there a disqualification for males that have been raped by females? Do you think I deserved the continual rapes because I am a male? Was the life-long emotional and relationship problems that I experienced as a result of the rapes something I deserved? How about the years of shame and depression, was that something I deserved or made-up? Or maybe I deserved it for being dressed the wrong way? No matter how you slice it, according to some closed-minded "female rights" advocates, the rape that I experienced is something to be trivialized and doubted. Why must male victims of female rapists almost always be treated so poorly from "feminists" that claim to be interested in understanding and destroying rape culture- as long as we all agree that it is a crime committed by males ONLY.
As I have mentioned before; feminists must begin to take the damage caused to men by female rape (exploitation and dehumanization) as another important part of the understanding of power and violence involved in the rape of one human being by another.
To ignore and trivialize the suffering of your fellow human because of thier gender is sick and twisted, even when the person doing the trivialization is a caring, intelligent feminist. I have been mocked and demeaned many times by so-called feminist rape activists when I tell them my story. On more than one occassion some feminists have accused me (the rape victim) of lying about the rapes, and one "feminist" told me that I deserved it and laughed at my tears and honesty. When a male questions the sincerity of a female rape victim, he is mostly presented as a misogynist by some feminist activists.
Isn't it time we stop pretending that women are incapable of victimizing men in this way? And it is surely past time to admit that there are some feminists that do not want to get rid of sexism and violence, they just want to reverse it to have revenge on men in general. And there's nothing as hurtful or anti-feminist as a person that wants to punish and demean someone that has been raped, just because the victim is a man and the rapist is a woman.
I know I will recieve all sorts of flames and claims that the rape of a man by a woman is a different sort of act that does not qualify as proof of the intention to dehumanize me or exploit me on the part of my rapist; but those rapes did to me the same thing rapes do to women.
Go ahead and trivialize my rape experience and make the claim that I am just trying to distract the discussion from women's rape experiences because I am a "dudeguy". I am sure that some feminists will feel that they showed those horrible men a lesson then...
