*snort* oh please. I understand that exaggeration makes your point stronger but this is just laughable.

What you say is very interesting, by the way I did see your previous post before you deleted it lol.

Why not? Prison rape is pretty common. Not saying it is more common, but you can't really know for sure if it often goes unreported.

I won't deny though that if guys stay out of jail and rough neighborhoods they'll be pretty safe by comparison. While with women avoiding rape is certainly not as easy.

Beating up goth kids probably isn't as badass as you think it is.

Those rough neighbourhoods where you're from must be a LOT different from where I am, here you worry about getting stabbed if you're male and walking about at night. Raped? Unheard of.

I can back this up. Stabbing is a big deal but i've never heard one rape from roundabout Glasgow.

^ you know I knew you'd say that.

Not one reported case though in my memory, and I'm sure I'd remember if there was one. If it happens at all, it's undoubtedly exceptionally rare.

you know I think being sodomized by a unicorn could very well be the most common form of rape. I mean, it is widely unreported.

Yeah, when I see a gang of young guys drunk out their minds I tend to cross the road or change my route, because drunk neds almost always ends in a violent scene from experience. The last thing I'm thinking though is "shit, I could get raped here."
