When hearing about rape, fiction or non-fiction, in whatever format - tv/movie, books/social media, audio, real life story - many women will put themselves into the story and become the victim. They see themselves being raped, they feel it, understand it from the point of view of the victim.In whose shoes do men put themselves?#ObligatoryNAMALT

That's why it's so rare for men to be raped in fiction. They can't handle it. @HekArtemis

@Jennifer_Lee I have noticed that when men are raped in fantasy (my fave genre) such rapes are often given a lot of time, a lot of focus. To really give the reader the impression that what is happening/has happened is truly awful, beyond awful, so very horrible. How horrible for this man that he had to go through this thing.When women get raped in fantasy, it's in passing, no one bloody cares.I recently read a grimdark trilogy which I actually enjoyed, despite the main character raping someone in the first chapter of the first book. And this: In the third book it shows him in a dream sequence with a woman dream mage, who he is obsessed with. In this dream he remembers the time when he was a young teen and is drugged and raped over several hours by a priest. He forces the dream mage to watch every moment, experience all of it. After it's played through he says something along the lines of, "See this is what it is like to be violated...." and similar things like that. In the second book though, before this dream sequence, he deals with a situation where she was raped, tricked into believing he was the rapist, tricked into believing she was pregnant, tricked via awful dreams from a male dream mage, and he gets revenge for how she was violated. So there he is in book 3, explaining what violation is to her, a victim of some pretty horrific violation herself.Because the violation of a man is real, but the violation of a woman is nothing.

@Jennifer_Lee @HekArtemisSo there's this whole dramatic sequence where our male main character's female detective partner rushes into the room in slow-motion and shoots the psycho, who's wearing a strap-on (don't ask) with a detachable dildo. So the guy falls to the floor and we think our hard-boiled male main character is saved from the emasculation. Then they notice the dildo is detached from the strap-on, and look at our character in horror, and he looks kinda annoyed and says "please just pull it out."If you don't mind creepy psychopathy and some gore, the show is pretty entertaining. Good female characters.

@HekArtemis you can be sure the boys don't think they're at fault. i remember one guy writing about a male who kidnaps a woman with whom he's obsessed. eventually, according to the idiot, she falls in love with him. i assured the jerk that no one falls in love with a stalker and kidnapper. he disagreed of course. that's where guys are. we're supposed to appreciate any attention -- even if it's unwanted.

@drEkua The stalker kidnapper thing, that's been taught to us all our lives, from Beauty and the Beast to almost every single romcom ever made 🤢 So now even a lot of women seem to think it's romantic, it's awful.

@HekArtemis oh, don't get me started about beauty and the beast. i think of movies where the male protagonist is a squirt, a slob and undeserving of breath; yet, he ends up with the so-called hot female who has what he wants. so, women are happy as long as they're attached to a male anything whether human or not. ugh!😒

@drEkua Ugh yes. It's part of why women in real life end up settling for abusive and arsehole men, because we are raised to believe that we must have a man in our lives. If we don't have a man then we will never be happy and fulfilled. The story can't end until the guy gets a girl, or the girl settles for some douche.I feel so confused sometimes when I read women discussing how lonely they are and how much they want a man to love them. Like.... ewww why? Find some women to be friends with to get rid of the loneliness, get a good vibrator, and be happy without a lump weighing you down.
