- ps4fanboy 13y agoMale rape is highly stigmatized, my uncle was raped and never reported it. Reported != Actual.
- pyrocat 13y agoThat's a great point, and I completely agree that reported stats are not equal to the actual stats. I would still say that there are more women raped in America than men.
- ps4fanboy 13y agoI would say that there are more women reporting rape in America than men asserting anything other than that is your opinion.

- ceol 13y agoThat article didn't cite any of its data, and it even conflates reported rapes with rape estimates.

- dragonwriter 13y ago> Male rape is highly stigmatized Incidentally, this (even assuming reliable victimization stats that weren't distorted by it) is one of the reasons why I wouldn't assume that the threat was necessarily less serious issued against a male based simply on victimization stats indicating that women were more likely to be victimized.
