Hi, I study/want to work in sex crimes and in the state of Georgia (and any state) men can be raped and file charges, I’m sorry if your county/area made you believe that wasn’t true. Yes men SA others more (statistically proven) Yes women are SA’d more (statistically proven) HOWEVER that is NOT an argument for “this specified gender has it worse” that is NOT what this is about.
Thats not what I said? Legally in the US rape is rape and sexual assault is sexual assault, courts and law enforcement dont take either genders accusations seriously, women get sexually assaulted disproportionately more than men so its easy to claim men arent taken as seriously because women get more convictions, but thats not the case, men just have less cases to report period, the amount that get wrongfully dismissed is close to equal across genders
Your argument is completely lost when your claim is men get raped too instead of men get raped, when youre choosing to compare to a group that is wildly more effected by the problem youre automatically making your side look insignificant, I think ALL victims should be taken seriously but men get raped is its own sentence
Women have the right to genital integrity and protection against non consensual genital mutilations / modifications forced upon them by doctors and parents at birth. anti-fgm act of 1996. Men are still waiting for the equal protection clause to kick in and protect boys from circumcision.
I never claimed to know georgias law or said they were wrong about it? I commented on federal law which is correct and still stands, explaining how federal vs state law works and advising them to pursue federal action are not the same thing, Im criticizing the georgia legislation and apologizing for what happened to them, youre trying to twist this like im pro male rape or sm bs 💀
No but youre twisting the words in it? "Men get raped is its own sentence" comparing it to female assault which is what you did by commenting on a post about rights that women have that men dont does devalue your argument because the likelihood that I get raped (which has happened multiple times) is dramatically higher than the likelihood it happened to you (which im sorry about), that doesnt make either of our experiences less valuable and significant which is what Ive been trying to say
It’s almost like you forgot the original question of “what right do men not have?” And started getting defensive about the fact that a dude can get raped and not able to even convict their abuser and somehow started twisting it into a “but you’re taking away from the female rape problem” issue good gosh.
Also federally, the equal protection clause grants equal rights regardless of sex or race. Yet; women have the right to genital protections and men are not afforded this same right. Circumcision is a violation of both human rights (according to the UN) and also the US constitution equal protection clause.
In today’s society there is not justice for SA victims, bc the courts/laws are so fucked. BUT that does NOT meat OP is not a victim. No matter what (as someone who has been thru brutal sexual trauma and never got justice legally) I feel for you OP. But the argument you’re making over “women have this and men don’t” is bad, please get therapy for that. Everyone that is SA’d has it bad and has no legal stance (as you don’t stand a chance for a trial and at trials the victim is usually blamed-
- retraumitized and it can be public) There’s no safety for any victims and the little help you may receive will most likely not be enough. OP I feel for you, this is raw and emotional but don’t become like her. I turned public, wrote and told my story and that was how I got “justice”… Ik everyone isn’t like that or able to be but if you can LET IT BE KNOWN!!
