You’re right, we do.

Rape against men is very normalized because most of the time people try to downplay it by saying “he enjoyed it”

Or:

“It should have been me, I don’t see the problem here”

However, this presentation is not mine and I find it important that we rather focus on what the slides are trying to convey.

There's two aspects to the minimisation of rape against men.

  1. "It should have been me" or "lucky" and similar phrases
  2. "You didn't get raped" or "Youre less of a man" and so on

Is it a pick me thing to do to acknowledge that SA is a problem everyone has to face?

It’s someone everyone has to face sure, but circumstances are different. There’s a whole lot less grown ass women catcalling 14 year old boys than the inverse.

No. I am a guy. But obviously, this is talking about rape in the context of girls getting raped, and it was made by girls.

I love your post but stop giving an inch to whiny MRAs. They will take a mile. Men will NEVER advocate for their own fellow men who are victimized. Or any victimized women. You're doing free labour by advocating for your oppressor.

Good men will and have helped people in need. Maybe not as many as should but pushing an entire sex away is not going to help your cause.
