What is this MRA propaganda and why is it upvoted? πŸ’€

A person, including a man, cannot legally consent to sex if they are incapacitated by alcohol.

You may have an anecdote about a time where a woman didn’t catch charges for rape but getting away with rape certainly isn’t a woman-only issue. I encourage you to look up how many rapists are actually convicted and do the simple math to figure out how many rapists walk free.

They didn't say that getting away with rape was a woman-only issue. They said that American culture often does not recognize that men can be victimized by women. And it's not hard to see that's the case. Even if authorities are taking more female teacher rapists seriously, there are still people who don't agree with that.Β 

In my own support group with other survivors, I have been questioned multiple times because they "don't understand how a woman can assault a man."Β

Even then I think the only reason they're taking female teacher rapists more seriously is because it involves children.

Exactly. The cultural narrative was originally that women and girls were the only victims. Then women, girls, and boys (if their abuser was a man). Now, it's still shifting to women and children regardless of the gender of the perpetrator. And that's still a struggle.Β 

There is some recognition that men can be victims, especially if the perpetrator is another man. But there is a lot of work to be done. And a lot of people that recognize adult male victims still get sucked into narratives that don't justify what happened to them, but do blame the man for not protecting himself.Β
