Are we arguing about an in-lore thing, or just the writing in general?
This is why I say the argument is incoherent. It seems to be mixing up external reasons for the portrayal of rape - cultural assumptions regarding rape on the writers' part, discomfort on the part of the people doing the portrayal, assumptions about authorial intent, so on - with internal reasons for why the portrayal of rape is terrible.
If you think the writing is poor, sure, no problem, but in addition to what you said H.H., it sounds like he's also asking why we don't see more men getting raped if society is really that equal.
Now, this is a thread started by Seriphyn, which means it's probably time for his biannual troll thread about a blatantly sensitive subject. In which case we all have hooks in our mouths, and should probably remove them before this gets much further.
