When viewing rape in today's society, we need to pay attention to gender discrimination. "An average of 237,868 people (over 12 years old) victims have been raped and undergoing sexual assault." (RAINN) If you break these numbers, it is a violation once every two minutes in the United States. In the case of rape, victims can hardly defend themselves. 60% of sexual violence has not been reported, and 97% of rapists will never spend the day in prison. (RAINN) If we do not allow attackers to take responsibility for their crimes, who can do it.

Men have not been raped because of gender differences in rape culture. Of course they were raped, but because of the way rape victims are treated in society, raped men are ignored or marked as weak, gays, or simply weak. Likewise, women can not rape men. Men, social education, always horny, always seeking the next conquest, are always preparing for sex. How can I be raped? Because of these attitudes, social treatment is very slow, not to mention changing the treatment of male rape victims. By 2012 the FBI did not even classify male rape. It is thought that women can not even rape another woman. This is because sexual behavior between two women is usually expressed as "not sexual activity in real life". A rape woman is not usually illegal, especially if the definition of rape requires penis penetration

Women have been taught to accept and proceed from an early age. Minimize the situation and make it match the male counterparty. It is the norm, and deep-seated gender discrimination and rape culture are widespread. We live in a society in which convicted rapists serve only three months but in fact it was attempted to rape a 13 year old girl and condemned with 17 sexual assaults A male was chosen. It appears in the court to grab a woman's pussy. But it is normal.
