Can a man be raped

Well, seeing as how many countries are redefining rape to be gender neutral, or getting rid of it all together and replacing it with different categories of sexual assault (1st degree, 2nd degree etc.), I guess you're just going to have to put up with it. Childish or no.

Rape should be "sex forced upon someone" not "a penis forces into a vagina"
It bothers me a lot that the law thinks men can't be raped. What about homosexuals?

I don't care what law states. Law does not define what is moral and immoral, or what is good and bad, only what is legal and illegal. Laws change as our morality becomes more sophisticated.

You still have not proven that male victims of rape cannot be traumatised to the same extent as women. Whereas all you need to do is use Google to find out that of course they can be. Your entire argument seems to rest on an incredibly outdated concept of gender and gender roles.

You're simply advocating injustice. It's as simple as that.

on the contary, the level of hurt and trauma is the only thing that makes rape a crime: the law doesnt care about some mystical concept called 'consent' and its violition.
it cares about minimising hurt amongst the populace and punishing those who do. as far as consent to sex is necessary to prevent trauma, the law is concerened with consent.
if raping caused no psychological trauma and only had the danger of stds it would be no more a serious crime than forcing someone to drink from your glass for instance (yes thats techincally a crime, but no where near the level of rape).
inventing an arbitrary definition of the word rape and then blanketing everything under this definition as equally serious is in all honesty childish.

and you are letting youre blinded absolutist notions of gender equality run in the face of reality. THAT is injust. 'because men and women are equal they must be abke to commit the same crimes'. no that is not the case.
someone can be mentally traumatised by anything if they themselves are mentally unhealthy. the law must ignore that otherwise anything can turn into a serious crime. the law is concerned with what an average healthy individual would find traumatic and the average mentally healthy man would not find being to drunk to consent and having sex with a woman traumatic, you are the one claiming they would and therefore you must provide the evidence that they would.

I recommend that you watch this monologue by Andrew Bailey.
(Mods and other concerned people: I would like to point out that the title is very misleading)

That's why there are sentencing guidlines.

No, rape has always been a crime (even before the rule of law, when it was avenged) because it removes women's agency to choose who breeds with them, which is their prerogative in the sexual marketplace, given the opportunity cost of raising a baby. Rape was an issue not only for the woman but for the rest of her family, who would have to support her single motherhood and a baby whose genes were not their choice.

So non-consent, not trauma, has always been at the heart of the concept of rape. Though gender roles have changed from the model above due to contraception and individualism, rape remains about non-consent first and foremost.

And the present law is couched in terms of non-consent, not trauma. Otherwise, any traumatic sex is rape, and then we have regret rape accusations.

The US definition is if anyone penetrates anyone with anything against their will it's rape which I think is a more appropriate definition although it's obviously not perfect.

the only sympathy i would feel with him is if he hadnt gone through puberty yet.
but no (and this my personal opinion) that video doesnt brake my heart like if the 'rapist' was a man.
if he had gone through puberty its actually kind of vile for him to be copying the trauma felt by real rape victims, so yeah that video is hilarious if it wasnt trivialising a very serious subject

thats my point he was laughing his ass off about the story and telling it in the 'arent i such a stud , i cant keep them off me' voice.
a doubt woman would be so public and boastful in telling such a story.
thats my point, its much more traumatic to do that to woman on avearge and thus more of a crime.

the original reason is irrelevant. all modern law works on the principle of causing as little harm, physical and psychological, as possible.
you, like everyone else here, are deifying and universalizing the concept of consent

Apparently by law a man can't be raped I don't think this is true do you?

A woman cannot rape because by definition you need to 'penetrate'. A woman cannot force a mans penis to get erect and even then it will be the man penetrating her. So the most a woman can be charged for is sexual assault

i dont think a man can be raped by a woman, if a womean druged a man and had sex most would find it funny as hell (i have a friend who claims this happened to him)
the expereince in general would be no where near as traumatic.
no it shouldnt be as serious a crime.

Absolutely asinine statement unworthy of comment. I'm having a hard time discerning whether you're a Poe or not. You encapsulate the very worst of feminist thinking, and what you said is almost a direct quote from a feminist advocating closing down every women's prison in the country.

Your red gems are well deserved.



Actually you're the one who first stated men cannot be as traumatized by non consensual sex as women. You haven't provided any evidence showing this to be the case except for personal incredulity, bias, ignorance, and outdated notions of masculinity and femininity. The burden of proof is and always has been on you.
