rape
Earlier in my hum1 class we talked about rape because we read the poem “Gahasa” by Joi Barrios. It was an eye-opener because we did talk about guys being raped and according to my professor they did a survey before and according to the results of the survey more guys are raped than girls. But why it is the more prominent rape known is rape that has a girl as a victim. The points raised by my classmates made sense. Here are the points raised:
1. when a guy cries rape of course it would be weird. Many won’t believe because, as a classmate said, guys can’t seem to refuse when a girl attracts them for sex.
2. in a patriarchal society, like what we have, guys won’t admit that they were raped for that would mean that they admit that they are inferior.
There are many more points raised but these are the ones that made an impression on me. And you know what many believed that gays raped straight guys. But according to the survey girls raped those guys… whew those girls are gutsy. haha

You assumed that men are raped by women. Well, what if the one who raped the guy is of same sex?
I am also intrigued by this "guys can’t seem to refuse when a girl attracts them for sex. "
isn't that what the guy wants in relationships? why would they won't want the girl to attack, or maybe make the first move in terms of having sex? (well, except if the guy wants to keep his virginity until marriage)
My point here is that the truth that more men are raped than women is correct, and that those rape cases are inconspicuous because men are classified as superior and strong in our society meanwhile women are vulnerable/fragile. So, if such cases were to be expose in social media, it would be a great display of shame and weakness in men's case.
