I once had a feminist tell me that she hoped this guy I knew died because he said that feminism was no longer necessary in western culture. She later said she was glad he committed suicide.
WTF. No seriously….what the f***…

Women Raping Men: A Survivor Tells His Story To HuffPost Live (VIDEO)
Former U.S. Marine James Landrith joined HuffPost Live to tell his story of being raped by a pregnant woman decades ago. As host Mike Sacks points out, female sexual predators are often depicted as objects of teenage fantasy in popular culture, but this ignores the fact that men can be victims of rape by women.
Earlier this year, the United States government updated its official definition of rape to include any gender of the victim and perpetrator.
Landrith told his story of being raped by a pregnant woman while on active duty as a U.S. Marine about twenty years ago.
As he tells HuffPost Live, the woman drugged him and forcibly had sex with him telling him that he “better not be forceful” or he would hurt her unborn child. Landrith still doesn’t remember much of what happened during the experience.
By posting this article, I hope it can help start conversations about male rape victims and encourage others to speak up. The more we get people talking, the more likely we are to find ways to help one another heal and recover…
I would like to think that we, as a society, are in the process of making HUGE strides in changing how we see rape and the people who have been affected by it. But I know that in order to do that to the absolute fullest extent, we need to listen to the men just as much as we listen to the women. We do. I know that some of you may bristle at that idea, but I ask you: why is a man’s story suddenly less valid than a woman’s? Why must their experiences be denounced, and other’s championed based solely on their sex? That is WRONG. Didn’t we just spend all of the 2012 Election saying that rape is rape, and that it can happen to ANYONE?
That being said, I do sincerely believe that it is in EVERYONE’S best interest to realize that this CAN happen, and that it DOES happen — that ANYONE can be a victim, and that ANYONE can be a predator.
If we’re going to put an end to rape culture, then it would almost assuredly behoove ALL of us to examine how it manifests — however, wherever, and with whoever it may.
Just had to put that out there.

(2) male survivors and he will get a little despondent. Most of the time, he continues on like nothing happened. I am much more open with him about my assault than he is with me about his. I don’t pressure him to talk about it, but part of me wishes he would. The more I talked, the less ashamed of something that was -not- my fault I became. I hope he can reach a fully healed point in his life, if he hasn’t already.
It pisses me off that stuff like this happens…

College told me men can’t be raped and tried to discredit me
Original Story by freebird1989
I was an Intern at a SUNY school in New York and as part of my training I had to attend sexual harassment/violence in the workplace and relationships. Every slide was about how women are the victims and the school has a center just for women. At the end of…
This…THIS IS FRICKING BEAUTIFUL….and sad. I find it disgusting how these people tried to turn this around on him and turn him into the criminal like. If this story is to be believed, this man is a hero for speaking up for male rape victims. Give this man an award!
