I don’t even know where to begin. This is gonna be a long one. Also, curses on new(?) alt mod /u/Letssomethingsomething for waking me up. Thread if you want it.

What about the mens?

There are repeated complaints in the thread that the OP graphic is gendered and ignores male victims, and paints all rapists as men.

Here’s the graphic.

This is 3 misters complaining in a subthread that the graphic is focused on women. I didn’t cap the first few comments, soz.

Anyway, the graphic. Women are mentioned twice, once at the top, and as the focus of 1 of the 6 stat boxes, regarding pregnancy, something only women (or transmen sometimes too, I think) undergo. This poster (forgot to screencap) also assumes that the genderless figure holding a child’s hand in the "custody" panel is male and complains that it is more unfair gendering. Funny how that blithely ignores othering of women and the default setting of male, isn’t it?

And more of the what about the mens crap:

FALSE RAPE!

Combine all this with the obligatory "I don’t like these statistics" segue and you have a successfully derailed thread.
