STUDY: The Sexual Victimization of Men in America: New Data Challenge Old Assumptions. “We assessed 12-month prevalence and incidence data on sexual victimization in 5 federal surveys that the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted independently in 2010 through 2012. We used these data to examine the prevailing assumption that men rarely experience sexual victimization. We concluded that federal surveys detect a high prevalence of sexual victimization among men—in many circumstances similar to the prevalence found among women. We identified factors that perpetuate misperceptions about men’s sexual victimization: reliance on traditional gender stereotypes, outdated and inconsistent definitions, and methodological sampling biases that exclude inmates.”

Commentary: Women Rape Men A Lot More Than You Think.

An example Stemple provides for showing that women rape men a lot more often than you think is in a study of male juvenile offenders, who are often not included in studies regarding sexual assault.

Of the juveniles reporting staff sexual misconduct, 89 percent were boys reporting abuse by a female staff member. “In total, inmates reported an astronomical 900,000 incidents of sexual abuse,” the study adds.

Last year, the Department of Justice completed its study of sexual abuse in adult prisons and juvenile facilities. It wasn’t a happy time for feminists. The studies showed that most of the sexual abuse of inmates is committed by guards and most of that is committed by female guards. . . .

So, what to do? Well, if you’re Adèle Mercier, you simply drop all pretense of intellectual integrity and claim that, in the case of boys abused in juvenile facilities, “they were asking for it.”
