Some of you even mention if the roles were reversed, they would never do that on the show. But that's the point, adult men are the most likely to rape someone (be it a woman, man, girl, or boy), and it has been that way in many cultures for a long time. Again, not saying an adult man can't be raped by a woman, but as far as rape and sexual assult go, I think that is the least of our problems regarding this stuff. We have to solve the bigger problem first, how to get men to stop raping everybody. So while I appreciate everyone wanting to come to the defense of Graham, Robin, and WHook, let's keep in mind that they are not representative of the bigger societal problem. Honey, what is your point? The show has shown men getting raped since season one. "men rape women more!" makes it look like you're okay with this. The societal issue is RAPE, all rape. downplaying one type, like you're doing here, is disgusting. I'm not downplaying it, I'm merely pointing out men are almost always in the position of power, and more likely to commit sexual assult. We can't solve the issue of rape, if we don't acknowlege the fact of who is most often the raper and who is the rapee. And as I said, the raper is almost always a man, and the rapee is almost always a woman (followed by children and then men).
