Men Are Just As Likely to be Raped as Women Are.

The statistics would suggest that there are more female rape victims than male rape victims.

This means that a minority of men are raped. This is not only a smaller minority of the male population than the number of women victims in the female population. This is a minority within the population Of Victims.

Given this estrangement, felt by the presence of these statistics, it is understandable that many men would rather die than to admit to being victims. And many do.

Since the statistics themselves predispose fewer men to report victimhood than women do, and since this all so means that more women will tend to make false accusations than men do (because a greater dignity is accorded, judging by these statistics, to female victims than to male victims) it is quite possible that so many male victims are still in hiding that an IDEAL survey would yield a 50/50 split, roughly. In short: It is conceivable that roughly as many men are raped as women, or have been since we began the survey.

There is just as much a likelihood that a man will be raped as that a woman will be, and the perpetrator will not necessarily be male.

These victims will tend to withdraw into isolation and tortured obscurity.
The musician Elliott Smith was one example.
I have all so heard a group of young high school boys at a McDonald's, members of a football team, recall JOKINGLY their friend, a fellow boy and I think member of the team, having reported being raped to the speaker, who treated the report with cavalier confusion as the boys sat around the table, baked.

Never judge by statistics. They all most all ways lie.
