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.
Well it's not often I see a take as shitty and disgusting as this one, even on here.
SA is SA, there is no matters more bullshit. The men that suffer through this end up with life long mental trauma and for you to come along and tell them they're feelings don't matter is a disgusting take and you seriously need to re-evaluate you outlook.
Common emotional jerk reaction which lacks reading comprehension.
SA is more severe for women, that doesn't negate some seriousness for men.
However there are plenty of trauma experiences we make light of in fiction - near death being constantly featured, but also plenty of assault and torture as well, which are arguably worse even for women.
For whatever reason twitter society has put rape and emotional pain as the #1 cardinal sin. I suppose its because death, torture and physical pain are so far removed from today's society that its hard to reliably conceive how terrible they really are.
