Lets look at male rape, shall we?
So, we all know that if you look at the CDC’s 2010 report that shows that rapists are roughly 40% women, and that roughly the same amount of men were raped in a single year as women were raped in a single year (not counting the prison population, which raises the amount of male rape victims considerably, making men more likely to be raped than women)?
Lets look at some more statistics on male rape.
Study of 7,667 university students from 38 sites: 3.0% of men reported forced sex (of which 2.1% was forced vaginal sex… this is in fact men reporting victimization by women) and 22% of men reported verbal sexual coercion. 2.3% of women reported forced sex(of which 1.6% was forced vaginal sex) and 25% of women reported verbal sexual coercion
Study of US college women - 12% of the respondents reported ever using any type of force strategy while 43% reported using a coercion strategy and 92% reported using a seduction strategy to initiate sex.
Force strategy, that is a very interesting way to refer to rape.
Rape in the military is rampant, and it affects more men than women due to their disproportionate numbers.
National statistics approximate that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes.

Yet when rape is discussed in the public sphere, it is always the men that are painted as the rapists and women that are painted as the victims. Jokes about males being raped aren’t just common and accepted, they are expected. Men are taught to follow the rules or they will be punished by rape in prison, “Don’t drop the soap!” even though most men raped in prison/jail, are raped by female prison/jail staff.
Among inmates reporting staff sexual misconduct, ~ 65% reported a female aggressor (A few highlights)
Female inmates in prison (4.7%) or jail (3.1%) were more than twice as likely as male inmates in prison (1.9%) or jail (1.3%) to report experiencing inmate- on-inmate sexual victimization.
Sexual activity with facility staff was reported by 2.9% of male prisoners and 2.1% of male jail inmates, compared to 2.1% of female prisoners and 1.5% of female jail inmates.
Up to 15.7% of US prisoners experience rape in 12 month period
Men Outnumber Women Among American Rape Victims(about prison rape)
The Justice Department came up with a new number: 216,000. That’s 216,000 victims, not instances. These victims are often assaulted multiple times over the course of the year. The Justice Department now seems to be saying that prison rape accounted for the majority of all rapes committed in the US in 2008, likely making the United States the first country in the history of the world to count more rapes for men than for women.
94% of sexually abused youth in correctional facilities reported being abused by female staff. Only 40% of the staff is female.
2004 Study of teacher sexual misconduct. Those that are punished/reprimanded (96% male, 4% female) and those reported by students (57% male, 43% female)

65% of the survivors who tried to tell a therapist, doctor, teacher or other professional were not believed the first time they disclosed. Overall, 86% of those who tried to tell anyone were not believed the first time they disclosed.

Female Pedophiles Cause Children More Harm, According to Research by University of Bergen, Norway
According to multiple studies, 59% to 80% of male sex offenders were sexually abused by females.
“59% of the rapists had been heterosexually molested.”
Other studies showed: 66% (Groth, 1979) and 80% (Briere and Smiljanich, 1993).
These studies are cited and discussed in: Matthews, Frederick. The Invisible Boy: Revisioning the Victimization of Male Children and Teens. National Clearinghouse on Family Violence, Health Promotion and Programs Branch, Health Canada (1996)
This 25 page review on the issue of female sex offenders, discusses male sex offenders having been sexually molested by women on page 20, the relevant bit starts in the 3rd paragraph from the bottom, after the name Matthews.
Male penitentiary inmates reported higher heterosexual contact as children than did college men.
45.75% of prison men(overall)
36.96% of child molesters
47.27% of non-sex offenders
And yet, despite all of this, 99.6% of all people incarcerated for rape are men.
We need to start putting away female rapists, much like we currently put away the male ones.
Rape is never justified, against anyone. My point is that for many rapists it appears to be behavior learned through personal experiences. The only obvious interpretation of this point, at least to me, is that we need to stop both male and female rapists to decrease the number of rapists.
