Sexual victimization by women

[Adelaide]

Take a moment and picture an image of a rapist. Without a doubt, you are thinking about a man. Given our pervasive cultural understanding that perpetrators of sexual violence are nearly always men, this makes sense. But this assumption belies the reality, revealed in our study of large-scale federal agency surveys, that women are also often perpetrators of sexual victimization...

The results were surprising. For example, the CDC’s nationally representative data revealed that over one year, men and women were equally likely to experience nonconsensual sex, and most male victims reported female perpetrators. Over their lifetime, 79 percent of men who were “made to penetrate” someone else (a form of rape, in the view of most researchers) reported female perpetrators. Likewise, most men who experienced sexual coercion and unwanted sexual contact had female perpetrators.

We also pooled four years of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) data and found that 35 percent of male victims who experienced rape or sexual assault reported at least one female perpetrator. Among those who were raped or sexually assaulted by a woman, 58 percent of male victims and 41 percent of female victims reported that the incident involved a violent attack, meaning the female perpetrator hit, knocked down or otherwise attacked the victim, many of whom reported injuries.

And, because we had previously shown that nearly one million incidents of sexual victimization happen in our nation’s prisons and jails each year, we knew that no analysis of sexual victimization in the U.S. would be complete without a look at sexual abuse happening behind bars. We found that, contrary to assumptions, the biggest threat to women serving time does not come from male corrections staff. Instead, female victims are more than three times as likely to experience sexual abuse by other women inmates than by male staff.

Also surprisingly, women inmates are more likely to be abused by other inmates than are male inmates, disrupting the long-held view that sexual violence in prison is mainly about men assaulting men. In juvenile corrections facilities, female staff are also a much more significant threat than male staff; more than nine in ten juveniles who reported staff sexual victimization were abused by a woman.

Sexual victimization by women is more common than previously known - Scientific American

Long article, but interesting. I found a later paragraph fairly interesting, which states, "the common one-dimensional portrayal of women as harmless victims reinforces outdated gender stereotypes. This keeps us from seeing women as complex human beings, able to wield power, even in misguided or violent ways." It seems incredibly true that people often don't associate women with being potentially violent or capable of assaulting men or doing so [more] often than we think.

With the #MeToo campaign and the many accusations coming out, our focus as a society is primarily on male perpetrators and female victims. That might represent the majority, but female perpetrators exist in much higher numbers than commonly believed.

I need one to victimize me for the holidays.

I once worked for a family practice where the office manager who was a woman kept putting her hand on my leg. I froze as I never encountered this before from a woman who was in control of my paycheck. I never said anything and just quit the job.

If she's ugly, harassment. If she's hot, woohoo!!!

Definitely, very few men are sexually assaulted by women.
Nevertheless, many men are physically assaulted by women. Very many men have been psychologically abused by women.

Agreed.

I wonder how a man is forced to "get it up" or else?

Unfortunately anyone who tries to impart to women that they need to use some common sense, especially if the speaker is a man, gets attacked by the feminists and status democrats. Lord forbid you tell a woman not to go dressed like a $#@! into a bike bar and use your boobs to drink way too much for free to avoid inviting trouble. It is heresy these days.

It's a physical response. That doesn't mean a male wants it.

gotta beg to differ, having been the proud owner of a penis, all my life nothing kills a chubby like a sudden and unexpected appearance of someone, not "in" on it.

I don't see the feasibility.
