Woman on Male Sexual Assault

[Munch]

Like.... I was driving the other day and had my phone between my legs... All of a sudden my phone rings and boom! Boner. At the worst time ever. I wasn't even thinking about anything other than the rout I was taking to the grocery store... Dicks suck. Really. Fuck dicks.

But.. there so beautiful :(

Look how much japan celebrates him.

Unfortunately I don't think this issue will ever be taken seriously, and not because feminists wont give it the time of day, or because people like strombolu think its impossible. Its really because the media won't cover it.

Like it or not, in the eyes of the country women are much more sympathetic as victims of...well pretty much anything. Rape, fraud, murder, beatings, unkind words. If it happens to a woman people get upset. Men? Maybe if a male gets a horrible disease or loses his job due to a downturned economy, people might feel some minor twinge of sympathy but even then its like "tough break bro". In general men are expected to deal, no matter what happens to them.

Since the media is about sensationalism, and men do not make good sympathetic characters, bad stuff that happens to men simply doesn't really make it into the news. Even super "sexy" stuff like murder, male victims don't enjoy nearly the same media coverage.

Why does this matter? Like it or not the overwhelming majority of the US population permits their views and opinions to be formed for them by major media outlets and its a very real thing that if the media doesn't report on something then people assume it either doesn't exist or isn't a big enough deal to make the news.

We're using them to form our view of reality while they're really just trying to keep us entertained long enough to collect ad revenue.

I think it's more largely a cultural, "men will be men" kind of thing than anything else. We sure have our cultural views of sex roles by gender, and anything that challenges that is met with some pretty ugly stuff.

I consider myself a feminist, and I assure you nothing is further from the truth that we don't "give it the time of day".

The mistake here is people who do not belong to any group diminishing the experiences of that group. My being a feminist does not by any stretch diminish the experiences of men. At all. This seems to be the vibe in this forum in general.

Guys, I was abused myself as a kid. While I do not fall into this particular category, there are definitely people who do.
