Susan Estrich pretends only men rape men

This op-ed purports to defend male rape victims, but Susan Estrich's feminist bias eventually emerges when she says things like, "boys need to be taught that it isn't their fault if a man rapes you," and also where she suggests that men's reluctance to report rape stems from "male ego."

Estrich also doesn't call it "female ego" when women are reluctant to report rape. Somehow that's only when it's a male. And she completely ignores female perpetrators, of course. She is certainly familiar with all the statutory rape being committed by female teachers. And women do forcefully rape men, especially physically or mentally disabled men, young boys, etc. One such case was just posted on this site, in which two Kuwaiti women were sentenced to 7 years in jail for kidnapping, beating and forcefully raping a man.

And at about this time last year, an HIV-positive woman was arrested for allegedly forcing herself sexually onto a 12-year-old boy in Arkansas.

According to Australia's Personal Safety Survey, among males who experienced sexual assault since the age of 15, 63.9% were assaulted by a female in the most recent incident.

Even in the prison context, where the vast majority of rape victims are men, 2/3 of inappropriate sexual contact with prisoners in the U.S. is committed by female guards, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.

As usual, when feminists tell the story, it comes out half-baked and dripping with misandry.
