The main body of this article makes no mention of gendered definitions of rape that prevent male victims of females from being tracked as rape victims, instead being counted as “forced to penetrate” victims.
when looking at the CDC’s NISVS study, for instance, the number of women penetrated by men was 1,270,000; while the same period showed 1,267,000 males that were “forced to penetrate” by women.
source: the 2010 NISVS study released by the CDC.
it also neglects to address that judges, AG’s, etc are actively working to lower age of consent for boys to avoid charging women with statutory rape.
I wonder about the list in this section, Rape of males#Long-term effects. It doesn't seem to distinguish between victims of female abusers, and male abusers. I would assume some on the list, especially 8 (homophobia) but likely also 7 "Fear of becoming 'homosexual' or 'gay'." and 2 "Confusion over gender and sexual identity." are not significant risks for those who are victims of only female abuser/s. The source doesn't seem to offer any info on this, I was originally wondering what on earth Living Well was as the name sounded a bit questionable but it seems to be a support website for victims so maybe isn't quite so bad but still I feel a better source would be ideal.

HypeBoy, before we get into an edit war, let's discuss your removal as I disagree with it. Firstly I'll mention that the content you removed was not adequately sourced, so I've added a source now.
Homosexuality and masculinity is one of the most important factors regarding rape and domestic violence committed against men. Many of them will not seek help because they do not want to be viewed as gay, even if they aren't. That's not Wikipedia being demeaning -- that's reporting what people's experiences are. It certainly may be a demeaning viewpoint for an individual to have, but it's not demeaning for an encyclopaedia to report it. Let's try not to push an ideology here.
Also, let's not create conflicts. To respond to "A random straight editor who has never lived in gay people's shoes?" I am gay and have had that on my user page for a long time. Let's not jump to conclusions. ―Panamitsu(talk)11:15, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
