How someone reacts to trauma is different in every case. A person of any sex could be assaulted, and when one person brushes it off, another person will be terrified of going outside again. The PTSD arguments makes no sense to me, and I think any and all victims of rape ought to have the appropriate support in place to help them.
Men don't enjoy rape. Rape isn't sex. Sex is consensual. People enjoy sex. Rape is sexual assault, it is not wanted, if it were wanted then it wouldn't be rape. That's why "rape fantasy" makes no sense because by saying you want something like that then you are completely removing the rape aspect by showing consent. A man getting an erection while being raped is only similar to a woman getting wet while being raped, and neither of those show consent, not one bit.
There is an under-reporting of rape in general - it's acknowledged that rapes are under-reported and under-sentenced, because they're very hard to prove. Men are also embarrassed to come forward and say a woman sexually assaulted them because of society's patriarchal set up where men are supposed to be powerful and women weak, so the idea that a woman overpowered a man can be hard to admit to for some.
As for prison rape being disgusting more because of a homosexual element than a rape element. I don't even have to say anything to that do I? That's stupid. And I left out several expletives between "that's" and "stupid."
