Tough Guise 2 And The Hunting Ground Analysis

I don’t know if there is a more heinous act than rape. It is such an intimate crime, yet it leaves the victim alive and suffering for life. This is something I have seen a number of times this semester. I attending the March 29th brown bag on rape culture and have watched two films that have addressed this: Tough Guise 2 and The Hunting Ground.
This is also likely a topic subject to questionable studies and figures. The words rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment are often used interchangeably. Studies are subjected to significant non-reporting bias which may significantly shew their results. Perpetrators are most likely multiple repeat offenders because they can, often, offend without consequence. What most troubles me about

the conversation is summed it in two short statements: ”All men are rapists” and “All victims are women (or gay men).”
What I have personally noticed is assaults on college campuses against women are most likely to occur outside of a relationship (first encounter or first few encounters). Assaults against straight men do happen are most likely to occur while in a relationship. Roughly 10-15% of my close male friends (that I know about) have been forced to engage in sexual activity while incapacitated in some form.
The Issue? Because the conversation is so gendered there is little to no recourse for male victims. Coming forward and reporting is not an option because they will be emasculated and belittled for “being raped by a girl.” They let it go but I have seen it first-hand eat at them.
When the US Department of Justice updated their definition of rape in 2012, it progressed from a 1920s definition “Carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will,” to the progressive “penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” This new “progressive” definition of rape still requires the penetration, leaving out a non-penetrative assault of a man.

Here is a good summary of what I was describing above http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-1666-5-awful-realities-being-man-who-was-raped-by-woman.html
