Utterly cruel and counterproductive to title your article in this clickbaity manner. Do you realize how few men and boys report their rapes because people like you perpetuate the disbelief that such an act could ever happen? As other people have indicated based on the frankly absurd note you wrote below, rape doesn't happen from one "group" to another--exploitation and oppression does. Rape, as you are clearly referring to it and as we are clearly discussing in this article, is about an individual act of profoundly traumatic sexual abuse. Was it worth it for the 495 claps to be part of the chorus of pseudo-feminists who deny that anyone other than cis women could ever be victimized by sexual violence? FYI, that kind of repression (i.e. the inability to ever reckon with your abuse because you're afraid no one will believe you or you will be blamed for it) also fuels the same cycles of sexual violence that continue to wreak havoc on our society and on many individual people's lives. You should really heavily edit this article and change the title, if not delete it completely. It's incredibly harmful.
