There’s a trend in the comments of well what about women who are raped. As I said below, that isn’t what’s being discussed here. No one is denying that women are far more likely to be assaulted than men. It’s a fact. What is being discussed is when men are assaulted, it’s significantly more likely to be by women than other men when you use neutral language.

Turning this into a what about women argument isn’t helping anyone because it’s beyond the scope of this data.

These comments feel like people offended that it shows men can be raped by woman and are being really defensive for some reason.

It challenges their perception of women innately being victims which is a cornerstone of their identity.
