The Realities of Rape

Imagine you are a 28-year-old woman who worked at Wall Street Bank. You decided to run Central Park at the end of the day. This is a cool night. Air is fresh, Central Park breathes in New York's energy. This is April 19, 1989. You start a strong run. During the running, you turned around the corner, and the man came out of his shoulder. He bumped you against a branch. You notice that he is dragging you. Everything is spinning. You scream in search of help and scream in pain.

Reality: Men are subject to sexual assault. Regardless of size, strength, appearance, age, occupation, race, gender identity, anyone may be sexually assaulted. The idea that men can not be raped or sexually assaulted is related to the unrealistic idea that "men" should be able to protect themselves from attacks. Until 1997, according to the Queensland State Criminal Code, rape can only be done for women, which has history. Reality: Anyone can rape, regardless of whether he thinks it is direct, homosexual, bisexual, transgender or fluid. Rape is a mandatory or mandatory act that personal choices are ignored. There was no rape, as the robber did not say anything about someone's sexual behavior. However, studies have shown that homosexuals identifying men are more likely to be the targets of sexual violence.
