I don't really agree with this. While we have a long way to go wrt rape culture, female rape victims are at least generally treated seriously in our society. Male (especially prison) rape is almost always treated humorously or as a just punishment, especially in media.
Male rape victims are either seen as having CLEARLY wanted it (if the rapist was a woman, since every guy always wants to sleep with any woman), as a punch line if raped in prison, or emasculated and kinda gay (also if raped in prison). And obviously people are going to get triggered and interpret my post as saying female rape victims are treated perfectly (clearly not the case), and yes I'm totally aware that the first point (he wanted it) is actually heavily proposed by men themselves, unfortunately.
