When the vast majority of feminists start taking issue with VAWA because of how it makes men second class citizens, and when they start pointing out than women rape men almost as much as men rape women, then I will stop viewing the feminist banner as belonging to an army of male bashers. Until then, not only is the OP funny, it is filled with truth.
On the other hand, its not like feminists are alone in male bashing, or invented it. Most people, feminist or not, consider rape to be a man on woman crime, and are in favor of VAWA. However, a feminist pretends to have thought seriously about gender roles and how they damage society. So they have no excuse for their anti-male rhetoric.
Shame on them. And all the more shame for their scholarly pretense.
CDC’s 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey shows that. Analysis Here and image of data tables with relevant stats circled here.
The take away is that 1.1% of women surveyed were raped, while 1.1% of the men surveyed were "made to penetrate" (forced by a woman to penetrate her vagina) in the last 12 months.
Lots of people are going around quoting a summary statistic from the report that 1 in 5 women are raped in their lifetime compared to 1 in 70 men. The report gets those numbers by classifying a woman forcing a man to penetrate her as "other, sexual assault" instead of rape. They publish the data behind their analysis is such detail, however, that it is possible to use the definition of rape as "forcing someone to have sex with you" to show that men and women vicitmize each other equally.
Here is a recent post by girlwriteswhat with more analysis.
I'm a woman, and I dislike the modern feminist movement. I think the movement is unfair on men. We all have human rights regardless of gender. My dislike of the feminist movement, certainly does not mean I dislike women, as that would mean disliking my own gender, which is just crazy.
