Men more than women? I'm not disagreeing or agreeing, but [citation needed]. I've never heard of that being true, so I'd like more information. I mean, the fact that we typical think of rape as man-on-woman kind of speaks to our perceived frequency, yes?
- jaredsohn 13y agoFrom some googling, here's an article from 2008 that suggests this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/feb/21/us-more-men-raped-than-women http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/feb/... Essentially, it says that prison rape accounts for the majority of rape in the US and those victims are predominantly male.
- figglesonrails 13y agoAh prison rape. Yes, I hadn't considered that, but that would make sense. I'm not sure that prison statistics are really relevant to the original topic though, as far as defining what typical interactions are like, but does seem like interesting trivia.
