It's just Northern Ireland. Ireland actually is a pretty high rape risk for a woman due to some stupid ass ideas a lot of people there have.

To quote

10% of people think the victim is entirely at fault if she has had a number of sexual partners.

37% think a woman who flirts extensively is at least complicit, if not completely in the wrong, if she is the victim of a sex crime.

One in three think a woman is either partly or fully to blame if she wears revealing clothes.

38% believe a woman must share some of the blame if she walks through a deserted area." 

Those are some pretty bogus statisitcs, and old.

One problem is that many states define rape as the penetration of a penis into a perseon. In many states if you don't have a penis, you can't comit rape. You can do whatever think you want to a guy, and you can't get charged with rape instead you get charged with some lesser crime.  So the BoJS wouldn't list even reported cases of Male rape by women as rape.

Anyone who's had any actual learning on the subject will tell you that while most rapes are caused by men, plenty of women rape men, well more then 1% of rapes. Rape of Males is vastly undereported (even more so then female rape which less then half get reported) even more so when the rapist is a woman.

As for the 91% victim number. That's still a little high and even lower if you include prison rapes... which actually puts women in the minority of rape victims if I rememebr the estimations of prison rape correctly.

The 99% is likely right on... if you count prison rapes. If you don't it's also still off... likely due to a lot of states legal definitions.

It's not a "Male" thing, it's a culture thing.

Women do rape men as well. Actually a decent amount if you count non-violent forms of rape as well as just physical rape. (Though Physical rape, and rape through things like drugs do also happen.)

So, i don't get your point. It's not a "Hey that makes it ok" arguement or anything. The point is... it happens. It's as devestating for a man as it is a woman and Men often have no one they can go to.

That's my point. That's it. It happens... and it's stupid to only blame men for rape, as anyone can rape. Men are just more likely to rape do to how society is made up. Were the history of the world completely reversed and women were in power the whole time there would likely be little difference. 

After all, violent crime committed by women has been on the rise as people are more limited.  It's all a matter of better education and fixing society, not somethign as simple as "It's in guys DNA!"

It's that kind of logic that leads to crimes and violence like this to keep happening... because it makes people feel like they aren't really in control, and they were built to do these things. 

 Except.  Men are raped.  By women.  All the time.  Not as frequently.  But it does happen and it's just as bad for a woman.  I think his point was just to illustrate the difference which is clearly out their, and is one bias that actually works against men, and it's a fairly damaging one.

Telling people you were raped then having everyone you know laugh at you, tell you to stop being stupid and just enjoy the fact that you had sex with a woman isn't exactly the most healthy expierence for a rape victim.  In many places having it not be considered as serious a crime as rape the other way doesn't help either, nor does the fact that the chances of a conviction are going to be much much much smaller... which considering the conviction rate on rape isn't promising.

Well yes I assume we hold mostly the same view as the Rep. Though I imagine at least a few of those were probably not answering seriously (Maybe  a % or 2 here and there). I mean, this is the Irish.

Something on the UK --> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4453820.stm

Fairly similar.

Yeah, that much I wouldn't argue with people.  I'd hope one day people would stop blaming the problems of the world on the unchangebale and change society so that children are raised differently and future generations don't have this kind of problems...

but i'm already burned out at hoping people will stop thinking things can't change and do something about it at 26.  

Makes me glad I have no desire to have children anyway. 

 If she don't want it;..Her friends will thrown him out;...Well thats what we do over here....Those kind of people may be happy that they are still happy...No one touches konnichiwa's gals/homies;

Why oh why did this topic become rape. Let's talk about something we can all agree on. No to fat women. I noticed myself getting fat recently and I was disgusted. So I decided to do something about it. So I suppose at least i'm fair with not wanting to go out with someone overweight since I hate it on myself as well. I don't like thin women, I like normal size women. Gotta have standards. You should keep your own body in reasonable shape and not totally destroy it. It's the only one you got. Alochol is fine, it's like get rejected by that girl you've loved since you saw her. It only hurts on the inside

I make myself vomit when I eat too much :)

The other argument I was involved in, this has become so offensive I really don't want it to continue. So I don't even know what the hell you guys were trying to prove, but whatever, you were right. I don't care.

It makes me really sad and proves my original point. Really well.

I agree. It's offensive that women rape men. Of course it's also offensive that men rape women, men rape men, and women rape women. All 4 things still happen and exist in the world.

Hope your kidding about the vommiting thing too.  If you aren't i'd suggest getting some help.
