Can men be raped?

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Inspired by an earlier conversation with my already far-left class's most ardent feminist.

[fhtagn]

Anyone can be raped, our society just does a terrible job of acknowledging male victims.

[Cokeland Saxton]

The fact that this is even a question is concerning.

[Pink Panther]

If that feminist actually believes that they can't be raped, I'm truly stunned.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

obviously, wtf is wrong with some people

[Schiff for Senate]

Yes, they obviously can, and it's not up for political debate.

Tell you're feminist friend she's the sexist if this is what she belives. Even if she somehow thinks that females are incapable of rape (which is obviously not true in the slightest - they are capable of it and it does happen), there's also many examples of men raping men.

This also kind of reminds me about Todd Akin's 'legitimate rape' comments.

Also these two below posts are correct:

How do you know the feminist is male?

Huh? I just meant that I'm completely stunned the person mentioned in the OP believed that men can't be raped, or from what was implied.

This is, factually, not a debate. I mean, it's not like this is some obscure thing that nobody knows about, either.

Feminists are pretty much the only people I see argue this anymore, although admittedly it is a fringe position even for them unlike some other crazy stuff they say regularly.

Isn’t this only believed by TERFs?

Oh. I thought the 'they' in your post referred to the feminist in question, but in retrospect, I'm guessing 'they' probably refers to men. My mistake (and I agree with your post now that I understand who the 'they' is referring to).

[Ferguson97]

Obviously yes, though I don't believe that this conversation really happened.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Yes.

Next question please.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Yes, and rape of men is a much bigger problem than most people seem to think.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Obviously yes, though I don't believe that this conversation really happened.

Because men are apparently stronger. And

[Liminal Trans Girl]

AS a guy who got my ass grabbed in a public mens room, yes.

[Senator Incitatus]

Not even, though I could envision a MacKinnonite argument that only men can rape.

[Dereich]

Yes, obviously.

This actually depends on the definition you use! The old common law definition of rape applied only to female victims. Obviously it is a gender neutral crime in all states now, but its shocking how recently some of the old definitions were changed. The FBI's definition of rape until 2012 was "the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will."

Even if that were true - which it very obviously is not - men could still be raped, because menc could rape other men.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

no it's illegal and anyway you shouldn't do it.

Ok, looking this up I’m not even seeing this hold traction in vulgar and fringe Radfem circles

I think the girl you were talking to man is just some crazy rando with no connection to reality.

Ah yes. Today during our diversity seminar she called herself 'middle class', despite living in a $4 Million house.

that isn't rape?
