Thankfully I’ve never been raped, so I can only speculate about what it’s like. I guess if I had a preference it’d be a woman, if only because pregnancy is unlikely.
I’d “chose” the woman, not because of pregnancy (I’d be Plan B’ing anyhow, and aborting if that failed) but because it’s harder to catch STI’s from woman-woman sex. STI’s are harder to get rid of than a pregnancy. The rest of it would be just as horrid either way.
And I vehemently disagree with the notion that women prone to violence aren’t as violent or as capable of doing great bodily harm as men. It’s a total myth, compounded by underreporting by victims who buy into that myth and are ashamed to report violence done to them by women. I’ve spent time as a nurse on both “aggressive men” and “women” floors of psych units (never seen a women’s unit designated specifically “aggressive”). Give me the “aggressive men” any day - most of them just shout and lunge a lot. Bitches be trippin’. And slapping. And punching. And kicking. And spitting. And biting.
The OP is totally offensive.
I guess you have to define rape by another woman. The traditional sense of the word implies penetration. Done by a woman to woman what instrument would be used? that could be a really nasty variable. Since rape is related to anger and aggression, power and control one would have to assume that woman would be just as violent toward the victim as a male.
Same sex prison rape though in a different context would be just as vile if not worse then male on female just based on the prison environment
No, it’s not true. Seriously, WTF?
No, you really DON’T have any perspective. None at all.
Not incapable but less likely.
Not this at all.
In a logical sense, it’s not, but emotions aren’t based completely on logic.
They probably aren’t, and like I said actual statistics would probably disagree with the perception, but the perception is that women are more empathetic and less likely to do it in the first place, so maybe they wouldn’t be as cold-hearted when doing it. Women may not share that perspective though (and it would seem they don’t).
I was actually assuming it did.
Pretty much. It’s about which would be less traumatic, if either.
Perhaps, but I don’t see having a preference for something as meaning you like it. I’d prefer to stick my hand in fire than to stick my face in fire, but I wouldn’t enjoy either. If that’s what people are getting hung up about, then let me assure you I wasn’t downplaying any version of rape.
I don’t really want that to become a variable, so let’s assume the woman would do it in as similar a manner as possible as the man.
if that is the case, similar method of penetration, then flip a coin, male or female rapist is off the rails from the get, no telling the final outcome.
Edited because I changed my mind.
Rape is traumatic. Being raped by a male and raped by a female have their own different variables, but both are still traumatic. I can’t pick one
So I get the impression that for most, one would not be significantly worse than the other or it’s difficult to say. That makes sense. It appears that sexual orientation would make a difference for very few which agrees with what I was thinking.
How did you think this was a good idea?
This thread is disturbing.
It doesn’t matter if it a man, woman, or dinosaur, rape is a violation and traumatic and can’t be qualifed based on gender or manner of forced penetration.
This thread is gross.
Agreed.
I already explained why I would feel that way about being tortured.
Women can be brutal. We aren’t the weaker sex no matter what anyone thinks I don’t think it would be any better to be tortured by a woman than it would be by a man that’s the whole point. Torture is torture and rape is rape it doesn’t matter who does it.
There is some heart wrenching and disgusting history of women who raped and tortured. They are just as brutal if not more so than many men who do. To think otherwise is ignorant of human nature.
The main question is worded wrong because it makes use of the word “prefer”.
Rather what would be more forcing for more people to actually output an answer is if the question was worded as, “What’s less bad?”
Think of it as the game “would you rather” - you hypothetically choose one or the other and “neither” is not an option.
Here is a tumblr run by men who have been raped by women. They are admittedly just as traumatized and just as angry and upset as women who have been raped by men. To trivialize when one human being perpetrates torture or rape on another human being just because of gender is to trivialize the act itself
I’m not sure what you mean by weaker sex but women are far less likely to rape or commit a violent act against someone. Statistics bear that out. Now it’s probably true that a woman that is willing to rape someone isn’t likely to be more gentle than a male rapist, but since we’re talking about emotions and not facts, that doesn’t really matter.
That would mean exactly the same thing…
No one here has trivialized anything. As has been pointed out, just because two things are bad doesn’t mean they’re equally bad.
I’m not qualified to answer, but I have an observation.
Women overall are less likely to commit murder than me. However, the subset of women who would rape somebody is a different population. I have no idea if that population is more or less likely than male rapists to commit murder.
Does anybody have the answer to that one?
What are you seeking to learn from asking this question? If every straight woman on this board answered unanimously that it was worse one way or the other, what would you gain?
What’s worse, dying on the rack or being drawn and quartered? Does it really matter?
