ORIGINAL: Awareness And as I pointed out, when the definition of rape is expanded to include "made to penetrate", men report rape at rates comparable to women. Strictly speaking you didn't "point it out", you made an unsubstantiated claim, it would be good to see the basis for that claim though! In the meantime, I'll provide one from this report http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf This report includes "made to penetrate" figures, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was the ultimate source you used, since it's the source for the quoted figure on Wikipedia. Curiously, however, even when "made to penetrate" are included, the figures are only comparable in the sense that it is possible to compare any number with another. The figures show that over a person's lifetime 18.3% of women experience one of completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or completed alcohol/drug facilitated penetration. The same figure for men is 1.4%. That's quite a difference. In fact, it's an order of magnitude. Now, to the other category - which includes made to penetrate, sexual coercion, unwanted sexual contact, and non-contact unwanted sexual experiences, the figure for women is 44.6% for women vs 22.2% for men. So... here's one set of figures that seems to indicate that women are considerably more likely to experience rape and or unwanted sexual contact. But, I do acknowledge that this is only once source, so it would be brilliant to see your source so we can figure out where the real figures are likely to be. Thanks in advance.
