Maybe if the OP is more offended by a rape by a female perp than a male one, it might not have to do with "it's because they hate women" and more because more often than not women get a pass on this behavior by large parts of society. Especially in fucking media.

There have been multiple instances of female on male rape being played for laughs and treated as funny or the male's fault. In a lot of shows and movies its been used for comic relief.

How the media treats male rapists of women and children? Usually if not almost always as the scummiest of the scum. Look at Law and Order SVU where the awful nature of the crimes is lampshaded by the announcer as being the most heinous kind of crimes, and the show runs so much on "rape is really really bad" that the detectives in that show frequently seem to get away with some downright iffy behavior for police.

Look at a lot of movies where rapist characters are (and rightfully) portrayed as awful skeevy scummy lowlives. Lifetime Movie Network has dozens of movies about evil abuser/rapist male characters , those kinds of movies make up about 80% of its movies.

A lot of times a guy who is a rapist in media, he's written so its practically a NO BRAINER that he's an evil scumbag.

However female rapists? There is at least on skit in the Vagina Monologues where a girl calls her rape by a woman "good rape". Girl raping guy is often comedy material and situations where a guy is sexually harassed by a female cop have been portrayed in even animated media as comedy. There is a whole movie aimed at teens (40 days and 40 nights) where a guy gets raped when he's vulnerable and unable to fight back and by the end HE has to beg his girlfriend for forgiveness.

In some countries the legal definition of rape is written to not include female perpetrators and male victims.

I'm a woman and I believe in a lot of the things feminism stands for equality and equal pay and fighting sexism. But I can see why the OP would feel this way. Maybe instead of jumping to assuming "ITS BECAUSE SEXISM, this is GROSS!!!11" you might think about how media tends to treat the two.

I think you are conflating "I have seen instances where female-committed rape is given a pass," with "Female-committed rape being given a pass is more prevalent in fiction than male-committed rape being given a pass."

For the former: Yes, I have seen that too and it bothers me a lot.
For the latter: I think you may just be a little blind to the MANY instances where male-committed rape is given a pass.

I expound on this in my comment to another anon up thread.

Furthermore, I think instances of female-committed rape in fiction stand out more in people's minds, specifically because they're so much less common.

I would say, on an absolute level, there's much more male-committed rape being given a pass than female-committed rape being given a pass.

However, that's mostly because there's so much more male-committed rape being portrayed. And if you look at it on a percentage basis, I think much more female-committed rape is given a pass, relative to the amount being portrayed - in fact, almost all of it seems to be given a pass, whereas some male rape is given a pass and some of it isn't.

>And if you look at it on a percentage basis, I think much more female-committed rape is given a pass

True. I'm just disinclined to look at it on a percentage basis. For me it's about how much toxic material is being dumped in the water, so to speak. Not about how much bubble bath is being dumped into the water comparatively. Messy metaphor is messy, but whatever.

Crime shows at least tend to treat female-on-male rape as more shocking and evil and it's never laughed off.
