38 Men Raped in U.S. Military Each Day

[GBCW 397]

That's so true culture-wide in the U.S. Also the perception that men are the domestic violence perps and women are victims.

So anyway, back to the OP. 38 per year. Some might call that a good start.

Now just consider if I had said that about women rape victims. I am doing it to make a point. That people's reactions are probably to laugh, when men are the victims.

Men take their own suffering in stride. It's what makes us stronger than women, who break into hysterics at the drop of a hat.

Now I know I am splitting hairs here, but what is the definition of sexual assault vs. rape in the military. Does this include hazing incidents that are sexual in nature?

Rape is sexual intercourse by a person, executed by force and without consent of the victim. It may be committed on a victim of any age. Any penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.

So when your high school football coach told you it wasn't rape because it was just his tip, he lied to you.

I don't like the PC culture of victimology for women, coming most especially from feminist quarters. I think it does a dis-service to victims. You can survive.

Is there an age limit for the military? I was thinking about getting in. If you know what I mean.

You don't have to be in the military for some of that kind of action, you know. You can get that in prison too.

Cheap tattoos. Three hots and a cot. Kind of ideal in a lot of ways.

I think all you can reasonably say is that some people can handle trauma better than others. That doesn't mean it needs to be in any way downplayed.

I don't think anyone here thinks that rape is funny.

BTW - it's not 38 a year, it's 38 a day. That's nearly 14,000 a year...

Almost makes you think the US Army should work that angle into their advertising campaigns.

Maladjusted male with no friends and an unhealthy fetish for firearms? I bet you're having trouble getting laid. The average first year enlistee can hit it up to 14,000 times a year! That's enough d1ck for a lifetime.

It's a very good thing I don't write ad copy. That was awful.

Summarised in one line to 'any hole's a goal'

Rape gets such a bum rap these days. This is just part of the process of turning boys into men.

Male Rape Bum Rap I see what you did

That might work on the average American male if framed as a hockey reference (as opposed to soccer, or "football" as you so quaintly call it).

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

another way bedsides sick call for a malingering worthless POC loser to get out of duty or get his superiors off his back for being, well a malingering POC.

38 a day. Heck that is almost one per Army Base .

Maybe 36 claims a day.

Such BS

14,000 per year is almost a whole Infantry Div. Absurd

[GBCW 397]

"38 men every day" does not necessarily mean 76 unique men in 2 days. Many of them could be repeat victims.

Heck, it could very well be the same 38 guys every day.
