The British Crime Survey (2006-2007) found that 1 in 200 women were raped in that year alone [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/markeaston/2008/07/rape_a_complex_crime.html]. A 2009 NSPCC study found a third of girls (not women girls) had experienced sexual violence [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17251461]. Figures that can definitely translate to 1 in 4 in their lifetime, it's late and I will hunt more firm figures I'm the morning.
You quote a Ms, magazine study, I can't find this study but I can find a 2007 National Institute of Justice Study that found 19% of college women experienced rape or attempted rape at college [https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/221153.pdf]. This has been criticised as allowing an overly broad view of rape including "rape" when alcohol was involved and the insinuation that it was regretted drunken sex. As my rape was discounted by the police as regretted drunken sex I would not discount these figures. FYI had a male Uni friend stay in my town before his job interview, we shared a pizza and a 4 pack of Heineken before I showed him the spare room. I woke up pinned to the bed by this 6 ft 5 built man, I couldn't move as he raped me. It was premeditated as he had sent text messages to mutual friends saying I was dressed up and all over him. I had no makeup, greasy hair scraped back, my geeky glasses and my painting clothes as I was redecorating. The police basically told me they didn't believe me and smirked and told me they were glad I saw sense before leaving. I was clearly a drunken slapper who just regretted consensual sea.
Most homeless are men.
Most suicide victims are men.
Most prisoners are men.
Girls/women are encouraged to seek help/support/cry if they so need. Boys/men are told to "man up".
e.g., A women is upset? People will talk to her, show sympathy, try to understand, be there for her. A man is upset? People will laugh in his face and tell him he isn't a man.
Girls/women are encouraged to look after their health and visit a GP and get checks etc. If a boy/man is ill they are simply told to "take it like a man".
Feminists are actively working to improve the situation for men by fighting patriarchal dogma. We believe that men should be able to talk about their feelings, gain access and support and have their needs met as human beings. Take it like a man is the voice of the patriarchy. Us feminists would love to see men talking about their feelings, reduced male suicides and having men more involved with child rearing. We are not man hating lesbians. I love men, I love my partner, my three brothers and my 5 nephews. I am a feminist as I was a better world for them too!
Now if the MRAs actually give a shit about men can they start supporting men over the big issues rather than just hating on feminists. Have conferences and campaigns on how men and boys can be encouraged to talk about their feelings, open up and get help where needed. Stop spending all your time bitching about feminists, if you were remotely interested in helping vulnerable men you would be amazed at the feminist support. But you never are about truly helping men, only punishing women. Yet you have the nerve to call feminists twisted.
Do you think men would be taken more seriously if they reported a sex crime committed against them? I don't. IMO I think a man would be laughed out of court.
No they wouldn't there are reports of a young man being raped at Oktoberfest, every comment and coverage is sympathetic. No one is questioning what a drunk man expects when he goes for a piss in the bushes. It is categorically not his fault. We don't hear about the women raped at Oktoberfest as the slags were clearly asking for it.
Hope this helps.
