P.S. Just to clarify, I in no way mean to diminish or reduce the experience of men who get raped. Rape is horribly damaging when it happens to anyone, male or female, and all rape should be condemned regardless of the gender of the victim.

Prison rape, and I'm willing to bet that happens ALOT more often and is taken far less seriously.

Right, prison rape is horrible, it's significance is totally under appreciated, and it's almost entirely preventable. It's a black mark on our society that we allow it to continue.

But all that being said, the amount of women who report (report! many women don't even report rapes) is at least 1 in 4. Not that many men are even in prison.

Can you show where you get this number? Certainly that many aren't being reported to the police, and I'm having a hard time finding where this number comes from.

According to this website (https://www.rainn.org/statistics), who gets their data from massive surveys, there are about 300k victims of sexual assaults (victims, not just reports) each year. For the sake of argument, let's assume that all of those are women and all of them are different from year to year. Let's also assume that all rapes happen to women between 10 and 40, which is probably true in 95%+ of cases. There are ~60M women in the US between 10 and 40. So each year, 0.5% of them are raped. 99.5% are not. 0.995^30 = .860. So that means a woman should have a roughly 14% of being assaulted during her prime years. And it's going to be lower than that in reality when you factor in women who are assaulted in multiple years and that some of the victims are men. It's probably closer to single digits, 1 in 10 or 1 in 8 at most. It's still way too many, but using incorrect statistics like 1 in 4 doesn't help things. It's better to be more accurate and honest so that others can't use your fictitious statistics against you.
