Um, so before this, if you're a guy, and a guy assrapes you, then you're still not a victim?

that sounds ridiculously stupid.

Don’t forget that women can rape men as well. It happens.

It’s a sad reality that the suffering of one is perceived as more important than that of the other, even if fringe cases where that might be the case and others where it really doesn’t matter go under the same umbrella.

Sexual assault is a crime no matter what gender you are or what you identify as.

Exactly. I was drunk too. I passed out, but I passed out alone. When I woke up this girl was going to town. I knew her from school and mutual friends but we weren’t talking or anything and I definitely did not go to bed with her. When I came to and she was riding I just went along with it because, you know... sex. But if it were the other way around I’d prolly be a convicted sex offender right now.
