    I wonder if this is a case of men not reporting sexual violence as commonly often due to societal expectations. At least to a point that is.

    Edit: Also, many police won’t follow through with male reports of violence particularly sexual violence.

      In some contexts there’s no doubt you have a point, but liberal western cities I suspect that has no more impact than, say, the tendency of women to underreport domestic and sexual violence. Anyway I would imagine that a bigger factor is criminal perpetrators underreporting their own gayness
