Talk:Male rape research

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hey there, I don't really have strong feelings about this page. An editor recommended we reduce the length of the rape page by creating new pages for lengthy topics. This and causes of rape were our longest sections (there is a member very concerned with this topic) so I just created pages for them. I am fine with the rape page as is but was following a recommendation to create this page. All told I actually advised the creator of the male rape section on the rape page to start his own new page on this topic since he wanted to write at length and it didn't all fit on the rape page. Much of that has been edited out bc it was too long. This is a new and key topic in the world of rape crisis research. This and lgbt sexual assault and domestic violence are the new frontiers.

the discussion on starting new pages is here: talk rape

thanks, it's up to the rest of wiki I supose.

The tone may be a little controversial as the original author was very emotional but I think it can be edited to sound more neutral pretty easily.

Someone has deleted the page without notice I think while i was editing it. I guess I will paste it here in case anyone wants to discuss what it used to look like. I don't understand what the conflict is except the controversial topic? Why is there not discussion on this? --Survivor 18:55, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Please discuss here (above text):

I think someone read this talk page and then deleted the whole rape page except sociobiological theories. *sigh*. Please don't do that.

The primary issue with this page (imo) is the lack of reference, and fairly obvious male-male rape bias. Anecdotal statements like "This and lgbt...are the new frontiers." don't help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidl9999 (talk • contribs) 09:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I edited "Statutory rape of males by females", rewriting biased wordings. Dont say anything like "This is CLEARLY wrong" and that "children do not have the mental capacity" unless you are an expert in this field. I believe this is what was controversial.
