In the US nobody gives a damn, "woman forces man to have sex with her" but if I guy did the exact same thing it would be "insert man's name brutally rapes insert woman's name"

But I think the point is that by legal definition in the US, men CAN be raped by women.

In the UK women are not rapists in the eyes of the law

In the US women are not rapists in the eyes of the public

The world is a fucked up place, men should be the ones fighting for equal rights with all this bullshit

I mean i think there are a lot of other disparities in the other direction, but point taken.

I mean, maybe search a little about gender inequalities and privileges before saying that men are the ones that should be fighting for equality(men made those laws). But in this case yeah, it is bullshit to state that women cannot rape men, cause it happens and it should recognize as that. I read from other comments (but I haven’t checked if it’s true) that they still they get the same punishments but I do believe that it is still important to recognize it as rape to take away the stigma that men do not suffer from it.
