Idk if this is the right place to ask this but I have a good feeling you'd know. I don't mean harm by this question.
I've noticed that when on reddit people always talk about female on male sexual attacks but never male on male. Isn't it more common for male victims to be attacked by other males? Ofc people sometimes do overlook female attackers and dismiss men who are attacked by women but...it feels like on reddit only one side gets talked about or at least gets put on a pedestal, an unforunate one. "Well, women rape too!" Like some sort of gotcha moment. I feel like sometimes people also bring up other peoples stories as "proof" as well to make their gotcha stronger and it makes me feel...just odd idk. Like it's not out of sympathy.
I'm only saying this because it's Reddit, if this were real life I wouldn't question a thing. I'm not talking about the people sharing their stories too, that takes a lot to do and I applaud them for that. They deserve to be heard. It just feels different since it's reddit. How come only one side is shown and talked about on here? Or at least, why is that one side in a sense favored on reddit? Wouldn't the majority be favored?
Some social things are hard for me, I don't understand how people work, I need help.
You know what, that is likely more accurate. As I'm sure in some places, men can't be raped at all. Not even sexually assaulted. I imagine plenty places have a firm belief that women are too weak to attack men and if you are attacked by another men, it was because you yourself are too weak which is shameful thinking and shouldn't be that way. But... That's how some places roll. I was quick to get angry. I help counsel children that are victims of sexual violence and this all types of upset me.

Absolutely do not spout this harmful misinformation. That is in no way true at all.
Edit: thinking more rationally, this can be true in certain areas but is absolutely not the set rule. Plenty places don't even have rape as an option on their charges at all. Just sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, you get the picture. They say that and what most would label Sexual Assault is instead Sexual Harassment or Indecency. But that's all to do with legal charges. I found it harmful misinformation because I've had to tell victims that it is entirely possible to be raped by someone not possessing a penis and what happened was absolutely wrong. Apologies for getting quick to anger.
