I'm not a feminist or anything, so no rudeness please... I'm genuinely curious.
Do men find it difficult to comprehend what it must be liked to be raped, since it's unlikely ever to happen to them? We all know that rape is much deeper than just physical pain. It's not like being punched in the face or even kicked in the balls - it's so much more than that. I can't think of a situation where a man would experience anything like being raped... to be in a situation where someone is much stronger and more powerful than yourself, able to force themselves on you, to take away your confidence, dignity and pride. If they can't (or are unlikely to) experience rape, or anything like it, how can they understand? Can anyone think of any examples?
I'm babbling now... it's kind of hard to explain what I mean... sorry I couldn't be more articulate. I'm particularly interested in hearing from men on this one.
I know men CAN be raped, but it doesn't happen very often and they don't fear it like women do. When I'm walking home late at night by myself, my biggest fear (aside from being murdered) is being raped. When I asked male friends what THEY think about when they're walking home late at night by themselves, most of them said that they were hoping they hadn't lost their keys! It's a big difference.
Martin: You've gone a bit off topic, my dear. I'm not pretending to know what it feels like to be kicked in the balls, I was just using it as an example of serious physical pain, rather than emotional/psychological. I do wish you guys would stop jumping down my throat. Many of you have taken this question completely the wrong way.
Likewise with the other answerer who seems to think the entire female population condone false rape allegations. We don't! Not only because it's horrific for the innocent man, but because it reduces the plausibility of TRUE rape victims. False allegations are not beneficial or enjoyable for anyone, and to claim so is clearly wrong.
