While we think of rape as a male attacking a female and forcing sexual intercourse on them, this is not totally true. Men also rape people. This is not unheard of in the United States today. The problem is that men just do not report it when they are raped nearly as much as females. Maybe men just do not realize they are being raped when it happens or maybe they are afraid of what people with think of them, but whatever the case may be they should report this. Males raping females seems to happen a lot, and many females, especially on a college campus, do not like to walk alone in the dark. They fear that someone is out there to just come along and rape them, which I can totally understand their argument. But how likely is it that this will happen? We look and every 2 minutes in the United States someone is sexually assaulted. Now we can clearly see why people are afraid to walk alone down that dark alley. We constantly worry about this problem and the minute we let our guard down it will happen. Rape is an equal opportunity employer just like most other crimes, so should men fell scared as they walk alone down that dark alley. Maybe, but we usually do not feel like anyone can overpower us.

I have taken a rape and sexual assault class here and men do in fact get raped quite frequently. However, it is a different scenario. Most male rape takes place in correctional facilities and it is almost always done by another male. Also, a very large portion of rape cases are women accusing someone they know quite well. Stranger rape is actually rather rare. But i do agree with you that rape is an equal opportunity employer. It can happen to anyone anywhere, there are just more instances of women being victims.
