Interesting fact: majority of rape victims in USA are male.
This has been addressed a couple of times. Note that 1) the 216,000 number is for victims of "sexual abuse" which doesn't necessarily mean "rape" and 2) not all inmates of penitentiaries are male.

- jack-r-abbit 13y agoHow is that even possible to have the exact same act be counted differently solely based on who is the aggressor?
- papsosouid 13y agoDunno, ask the FBI.
