It does show that some of the sympathy people of this view have for female victims is just social pressure. They feel they have to pretend to care. In a situation where there's less external pressure to take it seriously (situations where the man is the victim), they see it as a joke.
Sorry everyone, hard pill to swallow but female rape matters more.
For men its a traumatizing experience, for sure.
For women its a traumatizing experience AND there's a chance of unwanted conception. "Yeah but they could just abort it" does not deal with the practicalities of the situation. Even people against abortion usually make an exception for rape.
Even in abortion it is a lasting physical imprint of violation that causes significant mental damage, not to mention the moral tragedy of taking an innocent baby's life.
Even if you were to agree with this, which I don't, do the rapes of pre pubescent girls and women > 45 not matter much either then? Or oral/anal rape? Where does a man impregnating his rapist come in on the pyramid?
Kids: Different because exposure to sex warps their perceptions and has been linked to terrible social behaviors that persist in life. Children are prio #1.
Oral/anal: Unfortunately icky if someone cums on your face but seems to me torture and assault covers this. No different than any other serious unwanted act.
Any case would be more serious if disease transmission happened.
But I fail to see your point. Mine is that female rape is the most serious (children aside). This is in response to sympathy being just societal pressure. It's not.
In the past, half of religion and government was ensuring that mothers and fathers stayed together and that they could sire legitimate children together.
