Male Privilege, helpfully explained by a white dude

Again, not trying to minimalize what victims of other violent crimes.

There are about 5000 spinal injuries per year in the US that result in quadriplegia, including as a result of violent crime and accidents. On the other hand, one in every six women in the US is sexually assaulted, which is about 3000 per year, and that's probably low considering under reporting.

Every victim of rape or sexual assault has to deal with at least one of the following:
1) Risk of contracting an STI
2) Pregnancy, then either having to carry the pregnancy to term or end it.
3) Inability to deal with intimacy, and possibly the loss of a significant other.
4) Victim blaming.

And yes, it's absolutely relevant to discuss one being worse than the other when we have people arguing that women don't have it so bad, or that men actually have it worse than women.
