Comment I made in someone else's locked journal:

It gets tiresome to me when people's first reaction to something that represents a clear threat to women in vastly greater numbers (and with vastly greater social support) than to men is to remind me that some men experience that, too. Yes, of course they do. Some men are raped. People who are taking action to stop the systemic mistreatment of women are not claiming men are never mistreated. It's a red herring to act as though we are, and mostly, I just roll my eyes at such distractions and move on.
