164. which is why the majority of rape victims might actually be MEN...
You remarked:
... there is no doubt that rape/sexual assaults are THE most under-reported crimes

I was under the impression that theft (by a family member) was the most underreported crime. But given that America has so many people incarcerated, and that sexual violence is extremely prevalent in men's prisons and jails, some people have plausibly speculated that the majority of rapes in this country are committed against male victims.
