Reddit grapples with the question. "Why don't trans-men playing in men's sports or raping men in men's bathroom make the news?" The answer of course, must be misogyny.

The difference in your scenario is that if a woman threatens you to call the cops, you can still choose to not have sex with her. If a man uses brute force to rape a woman, she doesn't get any choice on the matter.

You're right - most "rapes" done by women are not real rape, it's statuatory rape - the male is still a willing partecipant even if it's quite creepy that a woman would want to have sex with a boy. Still not rape as in real rape.

Men like to brag about being stronger than women, but they become complete whimps when it comes to admit what are the BAD sides of being male. And it's males who do the raping and violence.

Yes and I think they should, and frankly I think they should call the cops first. But have some empathy for people in that situation.

If you are in the man's position there what do you choose? Do you go along with it against your will because of the threat. Or do you risk arrest, social ostracization from your friends and colleagues, and potential destitution?

Women certainly suffer far more severely from the consequences of rape then men simply from a physical standpoint and I won't argue that. But men can be victimized as well and when they are they are often painted as the victimizers and put into very difficult situations with few good options for resolution.

Men can be victimized too, but it really does feel like a tendency to forget women once more: when there's talk about sexual assault and some incel screeches about "but sometimes women rape too!!", it feels a lot like when there's talk about women issues and discrimination and some trancel screeches about "but how about transwomen??".

Which, of course, makes me sound like a jerk as, in self-defense, I have to answer in a way that sounds as if I were dismissing men who were sexually abused. So, those incels ruin it for just everyone.

It's like breast cancer. It's not a women's issue in the sense it exclusively effects women, but women are by and away the most likely to suffer from it.

Exactly.
