It's due to a long history of cultural conditioning, it's only rather recently that in the US we recognised men can be raped by women. As a Psychologist I can tell you it is a rather complex and layered subject that requires education and awareness. So thank you for asking that question and thus encouraging the dialogue.

What we are doing right now. This. You can not only learn but actively discuss and interact with issues. You can express what you want to and need to express. It's something easily overlooked but incredibly necessary to mine and I'm sure many other people's lives.

This response means a lot to me. Though I was asking OP regardless I thank you for answering it honestly.

I remember growing up and learning about genealogy in secondary school. The anatomy asked if anyone had a family thing like cancer or diabetes . I said CMT and she had NO idea what I was talking about. The only people I know with CMT are my family members so this is kinda neat that we're being brought together :P

Hi! Half my family suffers from CMT! Though they have a version that thankfully is slower than the others.

My question (though it may be asked) is part I: did you see this in other members of your family and part II if you found out later, are you/were you going to have kids?

The fact of the matter is the only data we have are reported statistics, just like murders or hundreds of other crimes. (Anything is legal if you just don't get caught right?) Culturally, from a patriarchal history, imagine the likelihood that a man would admit to being raped. And then imagine the likelihood other men would file it under rape instead of "getting lucky". All statistics are only as good as our reporting tools, and people are notoriously bad reporting tools.
