> Male rape is highly stigmatized

Incidentally, this (even assuming reliable victimization stats that weren't distorted by it) is one of the reasons why I wouldn't assume that the threat was necessarily less serious issued against a male based simply on victimization stats indicating that women were more likely to be victimized.

That's a great point, and I completely agree that reported stats are not equal to the actual stats. I would still say that there are more women raped in America than men.
