A great article, except for a couple of things: the one part that says "Unless the victim is a child, female-on-male rape is considered so absurd..." Unfortunately, a lot of times even when the victim is a child people don't take female-on-male rape seriously (which is exactly why people joke about or try to justify female teachers or other adult women raping under-aged boys)

Also the last part which basically turns into "patriarchy hurts men, too". In a lot of ways, it's true that traditional gender roles do contribute to the marginalization of male sexual abuse victims, as it's traditionalism that says men (or "REAL" men, anyway) are always the dominate ones, and also that "real" men enjoy sex all the time, at every age, with any woman, and that if he doesn't enjoy it he should just man up and get over it

On the other hand, the feminist ideal of "male privilege" also leads to the marginalization of male victims, as it basically says "if you're a male in this society, you're automatically favored and automatically have it easier than every woman and therefore you can't be a victim and also don't deserve any additional support"

And it's feminism that says that men are the oppressors and women are the oppressed, and that sexism against men doesn't exist, and that if a woman is violent against men it's only in retaliation to the "years of oppression" and if a woman is "sexually aggressive" (even to the point of being predatorial) it's "empowerment" and she's simply "turning the tables" on men

So yeah, in some ways, traditionalism does harm male victims (not "patriarchy," though, because the patriarchy doesn't exist in Western society) but then so too does feminism
