  • Look, I don’t really want to respond to you here. This thread isn’t about this issue, and I didn’t want to make it one. I sought merely to offer a minor guardrail against a claim that I found incorrect.

    I will only respond to one point: Nobody in this thread said men cannot be raped, that’s true. I wouldn’t say anyone in this thread has been sexist against men; I don’t agree with the other dude who was in here complaining about it.

    But the idea that “literally nobody ever said” that men cannot be raped is false. It is, unfortunately, a commonly-held belief. Here’s a study which mentions it as a “male rape myth” (section 1.2): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8258646/

    I will not be responding to any further comments on this issue. I hope you have a good day, and I’m sorry that you found my point disappointing, but I don’t think I was wrong.

    Edit: I will be touching grass for a while.
