I'm sorry

So unnecessary. Rape always is disgusting, don't act as if women somehow benefit from male victims or something.

It looks like they're both laughing at it. Like if the guy is acting BUT I could be wrong.

It's not women's fault!!! It comes from the mysogynistic patriarchal society that expects men to be ""stronger""!! Let us not say "it would be different if that was a girl" as if female rape victims aren't stigmatized as well and I'm not even gonna bring the statistics on reported cases, victim-blaming etc.

Considering a man was laughing in that video, I don't think anyone was putting all the blame on women or denying that women can be treated horribly due to rape as well (for example, victim blaming) However, it doesn't change the fact that misandrist double standard DOES exist when it comes to rape due to how society functions, and it's not just because of the also offensive (to both sides) "Lolz real men are strong and tough and don't do emotional stuff while women are delicate flowers." (While there is some biological truth to physical differences between males and females, it's certainly nowhere near the ridiculous extents that society pushes) And let's not even get started with dragging sexuality into this where things get so much worse with offensive-on-all-sides stereotypes.

I also think it's problematic that someone is pointing out a very real, very misandrist stereotype about male rape and you instead try to turn it into a misogyny rant and completely and utterly ignore/downplay the issues present with male rape. Yes, the treatment of women with rape is worse, but do you see the stuff that gets said about male rape? They're reported even less. People LAUGH at the idea. When a student/teacher have a statutory rape thing going on, female students are USUALLY seen as victims while the teacher is a creeper (so... Basically how it should be viewed) On the other hand, male students get things like "He's so lucky to score with his hot teacher!" and rather than view it as an authority figure taking advantage of an underage student, it's seen as though the guy should be THANKING her. I think there's an issue with people's understanding of sexual assault in general, how it works, etc., but men DO get it worse in this situation. Especially as society seems to be pushing INCREDIBLY hard to educate on female rapes and discourage victim blaming while most people still think male rape is a myth

I do completely agree with you! I've never said that male rape is a myth or it's not serious or shouldn't be brought to attention. It's just extremely wrong to downplay one side (female victims) by pointing how serious is the issue on the other side (male victims) and I would obviously drag someone who'd say smth like "oh it's only women issue" taking on this topic. It's not a competition where we get to decide who gets it worse and rape should be fought against despite the gender of both victims and assaulters.

Wow.

if this is real, im so sorry for him

but its hard to tell if he's taking the piss or not.

either way I hope he feels better

I was thinking the same way but it seems like he's just hysterical tbh. He's in shock. Obviously it's affected him since he was crying but it doesn't help that his friend is just laughing about it. He's not being taken seriously.

This is tragic and not funny at all

Alright, totally misunderstood you then, genuinely sorry. And yeah, no doubt women get it bad too (And they do tend to get more victim blaming I think, but that's because people don't just completely laugh it off like they do with men). There are so many misunderstandings/double-standards/idiocy surrounding how rape/sexual assault works for EVERYONE and stuff like that needs to really be stopped for all sides

I know my college does mandatory rape/sexual assault education (simulated online program of situations you'd encounter to test the choices you make, a survey on your opinions, various things to explain how it works, etc.) to even be allowed IN (I passed my online simulation test and survey with flying colors, meaning I didn't make any dumb victim blaming comments or anything even WORSE, so) which I think is a great start. They make the definition of consent 100% clear, they provide statistics (for example, most rapes are actually committed by someone the victim knows, which surprised me), they point out what victim blaming is and why it's wrong, they have very safe ways to report a rape to the school/authorities while both A) remaining anonymous, B) informing other people what happened on campus and using it to help encourage others to keep this from happening (basically, we all get an email blast explaining a sexual assault/rape DID occur, but with no real details minus if it occurred on campus or somewhere nearby, if the victim knew the person, etc. and encouragements to intervene if something seems like it could be leading to a dangerous situation for someone) They even put on a (surprisingly hilarious, respectful, AND informative) show about proper sexual conduct during the first week of everyone's freshmen year. It's such a great system, and I think it'd be really good for other colleges and schools to do things like this. I think it could really help with perceptions of rape on that campus, and the more campuses that affects, the more of public opinion it affects too.

y'all acting as if you've never been around a straight guy in your whole life. When/if they are sobbing in front of their 'bros' they will MOST CERTAINLY ALWAYS try to mask it with laughter. He's clearly distraught and is just trying to keep his composure.

If it is true, then that's hella ****ed up. I hope the guy is okay and the fact the friend is laughing AND filming him, AND uploading it on the interet
