No one said it did. Anyone can be raped.

I said, male rape is more rare. Perhaps less frequent would have been better wording but saying something happens more rarely means that it happens less, not that it doesn't happen or is not as significant when it does.

Further, my point was not to dismiss the existence but to point out that living in a rape culture is to live in a shadow of terror. Women exist this way, men do not.

On the whole, they just don't have to think about it the way we do and that's cultural.

So, for women, it's a double whammy. You live your life in fear of being assaulted, and not just the assault, but the fallout. At some point you will be harassed. At some point you likely will be assaulted. At some point you may be raped. And most women know this from a fairly early age.

When men are sexually assaulted they aren't blamed by society for their assault. They don't have to convince people to believe them. If there's a case and it goes to trial, a guilty verdict gets a harsher sentence. They aren't viewed by religion as tainted goods for having been assaulted. Nobody asks them what they were wearing, why they drank so much, or what they were doing at a bar.

In other words, while men do experience sexual assault, they do not live in terror of it and they do not experience gaslighting after enduring it.

The assaults themselves are just as brutal, just as undeserved, and just as traumatic.

No one said they weren't.

All that was said was that they don't walk around half expecting it like women do. If they did, we would be hearing about it. As much as men gripe about women and "alpha" men, do you honestly think the diatribes wouldn't include aspects of sexual violence if it was on their minds?
