Wasn't the finger pointing toward the medias and not women though?
It was at both. "Are some women in the feminist movement just using this issue in their quest for power?"
On that note, where do you think all this information about male sexual assault victims came from? Likely some media source, although maybe not 'mainstream'.
A simple google search reveals many 'reputable' media sources reporting on it:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/24/sexual-h...ntary.html

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-...b35b821cdf

So the claim that it isn't being represented in media seems unfounded and more like some kind of bait for an argument, or maybe I was just lucky with Google and found things the OP didn't.
I did think that line could be seen as that but the "some" did seem to balance it out saying it could be true for some. It's a question right? And due to the diversity of human nature it is probably definitely true too. But then, is there a point to adress anything with a focus on its less balanced aspects or elements? Maybe to lower an influence from ruining something useful?
Good point made about the medias, maybe the point was hyperbolized.
Your questions are the same as mine. What exactly WAS the intended goal in making the post? Is the OP looking for sympathy for men? Looking to 'rally men' together? Looking to 'fight back' against women or against the mainstream media? Are we supposed to do that?
All I can see is a reason to argue with eachother.
