Yeah but most perpetrators are still men, meaning men rape other men as well. It's not so black and white as "men rape women and women rape men," even accounting for unreported cases men still commit far far far more sexual assault than women do. This by no mean invalidates male survivors
because its a way men chastise victims. they use it as a way to minimize / disregard the ways they perpetrate violence against women. they donāt care about anyone getting raped itās about deflection. itās another facet of rape culture. itās the same intention behind bringing up false reports when women talk about rape. this really shouldnāt require an explanation
Iām sure we all know you didnāt mean for it to come off that way, weāre all just saying that you couldāve stated it differently. It just sounds a little ignorant you know? Obviously, itās common knowledge that a vast majority of perpetrators are men, however, the way that you stated it, it sounds like men arenāt victims of gang rapesācoming from a woman sa survivor not some man btw
Except if you read closely I never fucking said "men don't get gang raped." I said tell me a single time a man was ever gang raped BY WOMEN with DOZENS OF WOMEN CHEERING IT ON. As in men are the main perpetrators of rape culture. If that hurts your feelings then I can't help you.
I donāt think it needs to be phrased differently at all. The point is that one gender is more likely to be a victim of violent sexual assault. Itās not like SA doesnāt happen to men or isnt just as serious but when your only response to āprotect womenā is āwell it happens to men tooā I think that misses the entire point
So how else are we supposed to express the oppression of women? How else can we demonstrate that weāre treated differently if we canāt talk about that difference? It is incredibly relevant. This kind of situation is not a chronic issue men face. Men are sexually assaulted sure but rape + systemic injustice on this level? No
You are missing the point that it is unecessary. If you are under the view that you should believe all victims and support them you should apply that to everyone. You cannot be saying that there has never been a gang rape with other women being involved you canāt prove that you just feel entitled to say things that do nothing to help victims as a whole.
