It's a key part of the MRA agenda. Some MRA even say that men are as often victims of rape by women as women are of rape by men.

I absolutely agree that sex should always be consensual,and if a man has been forced, by either physical or psychological means into sex, then he has been raped and deserved of course to be taken seriously, and for the perpetrator to be charged and ,nif found guilty, convicted. And I know that an erection is a physiological response, and does not necessarily mean that a man actually wants to have sex.

But the MRA are full of stories of men waking up after falling asleep drunk at parties to find women on top of them. And vqriations on th them of being forced to penetrate against their will. And, it might just be my misandry showing, but really? Does this happen a lot? Is it a really serious problem that needs to be addressed, and have equivilant resources given to it?

Well no SF, it's the weight of evidences and argument that sets yourself and other posters apart here.

Make myself walk into what Pan? Any outsider unfamiliar with this forum can clearly see that here is a group of women, attacking another woman because she isn't agreeing with them.

Well, I'm really not sure why you walk into this stuff SF. It's a feminist/chat board (without having to be a feminist to post), so IF you are at odds with the ethos it's a good idea to not lead with fists first. Otherwise you will come across as the analogy of the wounded puppy who just wants attention, whether that's good or bad.

No Sigmunde not true and you know it. You do know it, we all do.

Well, curlew, it started off as a good attempt at serious discussion, and made me think. Thank you.

'You regularly come on to a thread with sneering comments and insults'

After I've been sneered at and insulted, I think you'll find. Pretty much always.

Called Sheshelob 'slob' because she/he chose to call me fraude.

Erm, I don't want to point out the obvious, but your NN is 'SigmundFraude'.

Which is stated by an organisation in direct contradiction to what they said immediately beforehand.
