"No woman knows a rapist" deranged statement.
"Rape as in forced penetrative intercourse" okay but that's not the definition of rape. Receiving or giving penetration without consent (such as due to being intoxicated past the point of being able to provide consent, unconsciousness, being underage, coersion, manipulation or threat) still constitutes rape whether or not it is "forced".
Men absolutely should be able to talk about being raped, and they should be believed.
Definitions of rape vary from country to country. I chose the second most defensive one I know. I meant to include unconsciousness. The old one here used to be forced penetrative vaginal sex. I.e. men fundamentally were unable to be raped, for the most part. (Germany) There used to be a similar crime that that conduct would trigger instead.
I meant to say no Woman knows a rapist either, since the post states that "men know no rapists". The idea that most men would know a rapist and not report them to the authorities is just as deranged.
