Okay, I didn’t answer this at the time because I couldn’t figure out whether this was sarcastic or sincere but I’m going to assume that you’re being sarcastic and making the point that men are sometimes on the receiving end of victim-blaming/shaming “how to not get raped” ‘advice’ analogous to the ‘advice’ that women receive which I referred to in this post. And, yes, I am aware of the ways in which prison rape — and male rape in general — is trivialised in our culture and I do think that’s a huge problem which needs to be talked about, called-out, and addressed — but you’ll note that my phraseology did not erase the fact that sometimes men are threatened with and blamed for rape. I said “we do not think of all men as potential victims [in the same way we think of all women, including superheroes, as potential victims]”. My point was that no women are above the constant threat of rape, whereas some men — and in the context of this discussion I was talking about male superheroes — are. For a man to be considered a potential victim he either has to fall outside of the strict parameters of what’s considered a “real man” (cis, straight, able-bodied, etc.) or he has to be put into a specific context like prison; whereas, for women, it doesn’t matter how physically strong or fit you are or how skilled a fighter or etc. — you are always considered a potential victim and treated as such. That was my point. Batman gets to transcend the threat of rape; Catwoman, Batwoman,etc. etc. etc. do not.

EDIT: No, wait. I reread your ask and I get it now, sorry — you were making the point that, even given widespread trivialisation of prison rape, even in that context the degree to which men are on the receiving end of this kind of ‘advice’ pales in comparison to the degree to which women are. Yeah. I think that’s true and to be honest I would add that it’s always a joke when men are given that ‘advice’ whereas when people suggest to women that they should cut their hair in order to avoid rape that ‘advice’ is always given in earnest and the validity of doing things like that as a protection against rape is almost never questioned (and that has to do with the way in which male rape in general and prison rape in particular are considered inherently funny because it’s believed to be something that happens exclusively to women and men who’re not “real men”, because it’s believed to be something that “real men” escape by virtue of being “real men”). Sorry for totally misconstruing that! I was really tired when I first received this message.

Also, I’m aware that anon is off so you can’t clarify your point to me right now and I’m sorry about that. I will turn it back on eventually but I can’t do it right now because I couldn’t deal with the messages I might get about that father who shot his daughter’s laptop, so. :\
