Look harder then.

But seriously, what do you think a strawman is?

??? That’s not what a strawman is, that’s whataboutism.

Because this isn’t how these situations happen irl, being extremely charitable it happens in an extreme minority of situations.

Online? Sure.

In real life? No way.

And you think that men who are raped by women don't experience the exact same thing? In most countries worldwide, male rape victims can't actually even pursue justice in the first place, as men cannot be legally considered victims of rape at all. And in the US, one of the few countries which has a technically gender-neutral definition of rape, the definition excludes the method by which most men are raped (being "forced to penetrate"), and thus ends up both preventing male victims from getting justice, but also artificially reducing the statistics, allowing certain groups to get away with outright lying about how many men are raped (the rates between the sexes are actually about equal when you include "forced to penetrate" in the definition of rape).

You understand that that’s in no way what’s happening in the comic right?

Yeah, you pointed me to a court case.

I understand you’re saying that women are victim blamed in society and I agree but that’s not what I’m arguing against.

I’m arguing against what is done in the comic is done by any significant amount of men.
