Consequences in "why to ask first"

Oh and if you are a male, you are more likely to get raped by a group as the other male will think he needs the extra manpower or a weapon to rape another man, look at prison rapes or rapes that occur with men.

"A 29-year-old man opened the door of his flat in Doncaster to a man he knew. This man was David Betts, 27, slightly the worse for drink, explaining that he couldn't return home drunk to his pregnant girlfriend. Betts then produced a knife and ordered his victim into his bedroom. He raped him twice in three hours. Horrific violence; terrible bruises.

THIS IS not an isolated case. In Glasgow a man says: 'I can only tell you about the pain, because pain is all I feel.' Two years ago he was dragged on to a field at dusk by three men, one of whom he knew.

In the London area there were attacks in Croydon, London Bridge, Streatham, Finsbury Park and Piccadilly Circus. Last month a 30-year-old man claimed he was raped by a gang of drunken soldiers near army barracks in Aldershot.

Richie McMullen's book, Male Rape: Breaking the Silence on the Last Taboo, kicks off with a statement that is repeated and supported by research throughout the text: most male rapes are committed by heterosexuals.

This morning, Ben, a heterosexual man of 35, will try to leave his house. Most likely he'll fail. He used to go out to work - no more. He used to go out after dark. He used to have a fiancee.

Ben is a big man, ex-Army, could look after himself. He used to find it easy to make friends. 'I had the normal life,' he says. He was raped in 1989 in Kensington by a stranger with a knife. He cries as he talks, as he relives his trauma. He apologises. He holds his hands to his face. He continues. 'I want to tell you what it's like,' he says."

We're all aware that men can be raped by other men, just so you know.

Yes, I am just making people aware that rape or murder are gender blind so we must be aware that misogyny or discrimination against a certain age group, sex or type may or may not play a role in the mind of the perpetrator.

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It?s gonna be a bright♫

Yes, and I'm just trying to let you know that we're aware of that. I was under the impression that the topic of the thread was why it's best (or not best for some apparently) to ask before touching someone you don't already have some sort of understanding with.

I am aware of that but my point is that we need to promote everyone regardless of gender or sex to come forward about being violated or raped by another and that every case needs to be carefully reviewed also.

What's that I see there yander? A white knight you say? Hmm his armor looks a bit rusted.

lol A man isn't allowed to agree with people who identify as feminist without being called a white knight...so lame and unoriginal that is. If I had to choose between the title of "white knight" and "douche", I'd definitely go with the "white knight". Armour is f****ing cool, yo.

I'm the black sheep I'm the real black sheep, I'm the black sheep I'm the real black sheep.

did you forget to take your meds or something? you're losing coherence now....

I see, then perhaps you should create a thread about that...
