The irony being that,

  1. Men are the overwhelming victims of non-reciprocal physically violent domestic violence; being about 71% of the victims.
  2. Even in terms of random assaults by strangers, over 80% of the victims are men.
  3. And finally, even if we look at the big kahuna of cross-gender rape, it turns out that women rape men as frequently as men rape women. It’s just that not only have most men been brainwashed into thinking that men cannot be raped, but that even the FBI did not consider it as rape until 2015 (so no national stats exist before this time), and even now many police precincts have software that hard-codes the victim as female and the perp as male, further corrupting justice.

From the time article you linked: "Nearly 7 percent of men, however, reported that at some point in their lives, they were “made to penetrate” another person—usually in reference to vaginal intercourse, receiving oral sex, or performing oral sex on a woman. This was not classified as rape, but as “other sexual violence.”

The term usually is not scientific. There needs to be more clarity here.

Also, this article is strange– it has the aggressive tone of someone with a grudge and something to prove. But the take away of this article seems to be more about standardizing vocabulary when researching sexual assault and rape for better accuracy and NOT about claiming women rape as much as men so therefore sexual assault and rape against women is a non-issue.

and NOT about claiming women rape as much as men so therefore sexual assault and rape against women is a non-issue.

Sexual assault and rape against men is also an issue and we should start treating it like one.
