Believe it or not that is in dispute, several studies say that male rape is more common. Many studies including the US Air Force study, conclude that female rape is largely, and perhaps much more than 50%, false claims.
That doesn’t match my experiences talking with women. Too many times I’ve watched the woman seated across from me turn grey and start staring at the dinner table and begin to try to say the words. I myself have survived about 4 attempted rapes. One in which I was willing to cause both of us to fall 30 feet to get away from my attacker, and almost did so, one in which I decided to throw a cup of hot tea in the face of my predator as we both rushed to the door - with me willing to go back out into the white out I was originally lost in the first place, one in which the attacker used crushing force to drive my shoulders into my earlobes with such force that my pierced earrings were driven deep into my neck/lower skull, and one in which I literally stared down ‘The Stockton Rapist’ (some women never walked away from that guy) and take it from me...those guys really are the cowards that some people say they are. I wish I could get the sound of the woman next door begging for her life outta my head (Stockton, CA) and the sound of her attacker laughing like evil. I will grant you that some rapes are false accusations but I have also spoken with women who never reported theirs.
When I proposed to take my car to a car wash across town, a man visiting another member of my household sneered “OK BUT YOU ARE JUST ASKING TO BE RAPED...” Yeah, nice guy. People don’t say that to men. I think our culture’s idea that women are more likely to be raped is accurate. I think the perception that women are raped in distressingly high numbers is probably correct, I agree that some rapes are false accusations - but I doubt it’s 50%. I wonder how high the percentage is of male rape - especially if you factor in prison systems.
