whats your first thought???
there was a post the other day about what your first thought is when a women is raped... and there was another post were i saw that most women called a man a lier if he claimed rape..
SO.... whats your first thought???
and yes, i know men can be raped... my first thought.. men, or women, is 'damn, that sucks'....
woemn have about a 50/50 at being beleived, but men seem to only have less then that... seems most people dont beleive a man can be raped....
as of may
I'm so sorry that you have to go through all of this...is my first thought.
BTW: I'm a sexual assault nurse examiner which means I'm the one doing the rape kit when the victim comes to the hospital. If anyone has questions I will try to answer them.
either way i feel sorry for whomever was raped. no one deserves that (well except rapist themselves...but thats a whole nother story) anyways, i feel bad, and if its a man, i can't fathom how hard it must be for them to come forward. i believe it is easier for a woman b/c someone is more likely to believe her than it is for a man, even if he's believed there is the stigma attached that he's a big strong man and shouldn't be able to be raped so he has to get past that as well

do you actually know how many men come forward??

i think someone rapped him in the butt.and it has to be just as horrible as when it happens to a woman.when i was 12, i heard my parents talking about a movie and how a teenage boy was raped and i didn't understand..so they explained to me how it can be done..i was in serious shock.

very few come forward ~ mostly only if there is injury. The emotional trauma is very hard on a man and they often do not seek any type of legal action or therapy after the fact.
First thought honestly...
WIMP! actually I was more thinking of the p word for kitty.
It's the truth. I'd be lying to say anything other than this. If drugs and restraints were not involved..
Thats my thought if it was a woman and man.
If it was a man on man...I simply think AWFUL... that is violation to me.
My father told me a few years ago that he had been raped when I was a kid. He owned a bar and it was late and these two guys jumped him in the backroom. I was told he took a trip to Florida to see my aunt but he was really in the psych ward for a month. It still tears him up.

oh wow, how awful!
when I think of a man being raped, i automatically think ofa woman raping him and how that can be possible, it hadnt even crossed my mind of a man doing it, though I have heard of it happening....
As a surviving rape victim I can attest to the fact that Rape is all about power....they take it away from us and it is hard to get it back.....men being dominate in our society would face anguish that women may not....I am not down playing the effect on a woman but our society would see the man as a "woman" if it happened to him.......it would be more difficult for him to get that power back.....on another note Karma is a Bitch....the man that raped me died a horrible death just 10 years after he raped me......he was alone, in pain and wished he had been a better person, I didn't have to do a thing but watch ..................
