This is extremely sexist. The people who "hate rape so much" are mostly the people who have seen someone suffer and report rape, and most likely have never been raped before. They have not gone through the emotional suffering of a rape, and cannot really be used as a counterpoint in this argument.

First of all, not ALL rape victims are women. Though women are the majority, there are men and especially boys as well.

Now rape, in a typical person's mind, is a stranger grabbing someone in the dark, pulling him/her to the nearest alley, and having sexual intercourse without consent. However, rape can be defined as ANY sexual act without consent. This can even happen between partners in a serious relationship - even if the person does not fight it off, it is still rape - there is no agreed consent.

Furthermore, many rape victims blame themselves; they think that the rape is not the rapist's fault, but something that happened through their own actions (for example, not fighting it off enough or wearing "certain types of clothes" that attracted the rapist). So many rapes and assaults involve people that the victim knows, and they cannot believe that someone they personally know is capable of doing something like that.

There is also the fact that it is incredibly embarrassing or degrading to be involved in such a horrid act - the victim might feel incredibly dirty or undeserving of life after the event. They cannot bring themselves to tell anyone, at fear of being abnormal or labeled by people around them. There are such deep emotional scars left behind a rape, that it is incredibly difficult for a victim to report a rape.

Rape is not just a physical assault, but a mental and emotional assault as well. Next time you ask a question, please be more respectful in the way you ask it.

a million. I blame no person except they have proved that they are certainly in charge, male or woman or in any different case (gender is beside the point). 2. The underreporting of rape isn't the fault of adult males, its actually lots greater complicated than that and there are various motives (each unique to it fairly is very own subject - nevertheless worry is a sizeable ingredient). 3. adult males are no longer the only ones able to rape, females are too! 4. people who falsely acuse somebody of rape pi$$ me off! Rape is extreme stuff, everyone who makes use of it to play their little game is worse than any rapist (sorry to assert).

It depends on a lot of circumstances. Some women live in societies that looks down upon a woman who is raped as damaged or worse they blame her and consider it premarital sex which could have deadly consequences for her in those societies. Other reasons are the woman might fear she would not be believed or she is too traumatized to ever talk about the incident. Many reasons which depend on many different circumstances.

Because the process is humiliating and damaging, victims are rarely believed, and chances of conviction or even just a trial are slim to none. The backlog of rape kits in most cities are in the tens of thousands, as police do not take them seriously and do not bother to investigate so the evidence just sits around for decades. Rape victims don't want to go through such humiliating experiences as having their body invasively examined, repeating their experience in full detail over and over to multiple people, and having their sexual history investigated and told to a court room to slander her character, when there is little chance they will get justice from it.

because it is difficult to prosecute

because the victim is on trial

because it can extend the trauma

this also applies to MEN and children

in fact rape of children is rarely reported or prosecuted

Trolling rape themes is a sign of cruelty and a person who lacks impulse control -

How is blaming the victim - fixing the problem - "nearest man" - not

shame on you

Of all the women I know who have been raped, and I know a few, only 1 reported it.

Why not? Well the reasons are too complicated to get into here. But, I think, the majority felt shame, and self-loathing. And fear. And did not want to deal with it. So chose to 'pretend it never happened".

"If women love to hate rape so much"

That part of your question made me very angry. I honestly hope you get raped too one day, so you will know how it feels. Belittling and disparaging this crime reflects very poorly on you.

It's difficult to know how many truly go unreported. Many of the studies about unreported rapes are very biased, and an unreported rape is an alleged rape which may or may not be a real rape.

I think some women who were truly raped but don't report, don't want the attention, don't feel it will end in a conviction, or don't want to face the person they are accusing.

It's even more under reported when it comes to men. Just like domestic violence againsts men is also under reported. So while rape against women are under reported. Rape against men is ever more under reported.

No, it's because it's ******* embarrassing for her.

In our society, if a girl says 'I was raped' people call her a slut, tell her it was her fault, and pretty much do everything they can to make her feel like ****.

They are scared of the rapist. And also they are ashamed to have been with a disgusting man.
