"About 3% of American men — or 1 in 33 — have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime." Compared to 1 in 10 for women, it is relatively small, but 3% of all American men is still a LOT of men. Yes, that is the orthodoxy and mantra of too many who have an agenda to push. However, as men were supposed to be "participants" and hardly ever the victim, especially when it comes to sexual harrasment

" For example, of juveniles reporting staff sexual misconduct, 89 percent were boys reporting abuse by a female staff member"

As to "rape by fraud", as any unwanted sex with another is rape, that is a cop out used to get whatever person or group you want to off the hook I must admit to some confusion. I posted those statistics and mentioned the "rape by fraud" category of rape in order to support the argument that rape does happen to men and that it can cover "tricking" men into having sex, because Brimmsky was saying that it couldn't (and actually compared it to having sex in total darkness pretending to be somebody else... which is also rape by fraud - in fact, that's the textbook example given on the website I found), and was also saying that it rarely happens to men and that "men don't really complain lol." Clearly it does happen to a lot of men (again, 3% of all American men is a lot of men), and they do complain.

I guess I'm just confused as to why you're saying the statistics are the "orthodoxy and mantra of too many who have an agenda to push," and that rape by fraud is a cop-out. In places where it's recognized, it's recognized as a felony.
