Indeed, it’s not as though there’s ever been a global, women-led movement aimed at raising awareness of men’s sexual violence against women and proposing solutions for it. It’s shaming, really, given how little women tend to give back to all those nice men who offer us, free of charge, regular advice on how not to get assaulted. Not all women are potential false accusers – indeed, unlike rape itself, false accusations of rape are extremely rare – but there’s no way of protecting vulnerable men who only want to film themselves and their mates having sex with a drunk stranger before escaping down a fire exit. or until we’ve stopped treating rape as an inevitable fact of life and recognised that both women and men have a right to take up space without the threat of violation.
