Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Well yes, but also no. Those people will still acknowledge men can be raped..by men. It isn't "men can't be raped" but "women cannot rape," and "only men can rape."
Many places, by law, agree with this. They say rape requires penetration specifically with a penis, else; sexual assault at best. That means women cannot rape men or other women, technically, legally speaking, in those areas.
Even women who do recognize men can be raped most often don't actually care, they just tell you how it doesn't matter because it "happens to women more." I can't deny that it does, but minimizing men's experiences like a frat bro because of "muh ratio" probably isn't the best look and they should take a long look within themselves.
Even if you can "legally" defend yourself. Ok, you try that. See who goes to jail tonight. Protip, it's you.
Even if you do just lay back and take it, then call the cops and try to press sexual assault charges, good luck! First of all, they'll probably tell you without proof they can't even charge her with the "max," sexual assault, there's no rape kits for men, and you're gay for not enjoying it.
You try and tell your friends and "cancel" her socially from the friend group? They'll call you gay too, don't worry.
So fuck me I guess, and if you're a woman you don't legally need my permission to do it, so that's something.
Your first line made me nervous, the rest just made me sad at the truth of it.
