How can a man get raped?




Just watched this movie and it made me feel quite uncomfortable. Especially that scene. Then I started skimming through the pages here and I'd like to ask: How can a male be raped by a woman? There's a thread here that gets into the topic of assault by gender. Women teachers forcing themselves on male students...yeah I get it, but that's not rape is it? And most of the stories I've read(quite a few) the kids were more than happy to comply.

Legally many rape definitions require "penetration" of the victim. The same definition has been used for many studies of rape to exclude female rape of males. "Enveloping" of the penis is not considered rape by most historical legal definitions. There have also been legal definitions of rape which were exclusive to penetration of a "vagina", obviously excluding men.

Look up Stefan Molenuex "Truth about rape culture" for more information.

If you seriously wanted an answer for this, you wouldn't be asking on an imdb page

Anally, orally and any usage of his penis against his will to penetrate is rape.

I don't believe a man can get raped. See, I think that this is an act of violence a man does on a woman. Men usually beat other men up.

Some men believe that they can't get raped because they have a penis. That's the tale they have been told over and over and over, over the last 30-40 years. And it looks like most men can't remember the many boners they didn't want at some particular cases.
I'll just say, be carefull, cause it can happen and in the long term it's just as traumatic as any other female rape case.
Rape is about power and it doesn't matter if you use your penis, your mouth, your vagina or a hot taco to trespass the sexualboundaries others put out, it's still a violation of their will.

We believe you're ignorant.

Are you some kind of moron? Never mind, I already know the answer to that one.

Lately the feminist movement is broadening the definition of rape to include consensual sex that is regretful the next day. So if you sleep if a woman and you regret it the following day, you were raped. Bonus points if you were intoxicated and felt somewhat persuaded into sleeping with the woman.

If we broaden the definition that way, I've been raped at least a dozen times in my life after waking up sober to a woman who seemed much fitter when I was drunk. I've even been rape-kissed by women in clubs where I was just dancing around and some not-so-attractive woman pulled me close and gave me a french kiss without my consent. It didn't traumatize me in the slightest, I just walked it off, but as they say, rape is rape.

You criticize feminism for defining rape in regards to consent but use the term "rape-kiss." The only thing that's "regretful" is your crippling ignorance.
