I also would like to see the data on how much more likely a famous/rich/powerful person is to be actually tried/prosecuted if they abused boys/men vs girls/women. It sure feels like it at least gets way more publicity when it’s boys/men as victims.
You sure? I remember reading a string of articles along the lines of “female teacher sentenced for sex with boy in her class”, which rather disgustingly tended to attract a lot of “nice” and “I wish I was the boy” like comments.
Am I sure about what? That men vastly outnumber women when it comes to commiting rape/sexual assault/abuse? Umm… Yeah?
Your example is part of my bigger question of “who actually gets punished vs who does the crime and how dependant is it on who is the victim.”
And comments like that are disgusting. Men can and are victimized sexually and our culture treats them like it’s their fault and they should have just defended themselves or maybe they actually liked it. Very similar to how many women victims are treated, and it’s wrong.

No I was referring to the publicity thing. When a man does it it’s not as big of a news story vs when a woman does it, as I believe to be anecdotally evidenced by the news stories I mentioned.

Men are not a class or one of the group, are they?
Sorry what? Are you arguing “Men” are not a group? That they can’t be categorized?
It sounds wrong to name half of the world population merely “a group”.
