  • Those comparable numbers are only about the 12 months preceding the survey which is, while probably statistically significant, not the whole story.

    How’s that relevant? It looks at one year and within that year the number of rape/made-to-penetrate victims is roughly equal for men and women. Unless there was something unusual happening that year or the same men are made to penetrate more often then women get raped, then if you extend the timeframe the numbers should change similarly for men and women.

    side note: I don’t know how the article got numbers for “being made to penetrate” specifically, the CDC article doesn’t seem to specifically say it. maybe I skimmed it wrong.

    From the 2011 study in the Results section:

    For men, the lifetime prevalence of being made to penetrate a perpetrator was an estimated 6.7% (>7.6 million men), while an estimated 1.7% of men were made to penetrate a perpetrator in the 12 months preceding the survey.






  • Macron’s Ensemble Coalition plus Barnier’s Les Républicains don’t have a majority in the National Assembly. By choosing a prime minister from a right wing party one could argue that Macron hopes for the support from Le Pen’s far-right Rassemblement National with which he officially doesn’t want to cooperate, otherwise there could soon be a vote of no confidence and back to square one.
