Funny, cause the most significant link I provided - you know,
the one that provided you with the name of a study in The Journal of Sex Research - is all about adult males! Perhaps you were too unconcerned with actually knowing what you're talking about to use your library card to read it? I'd suggest you do so.
And here's a book about it. You can even read a significant chunk of it through Google Books, this way you don't actually have to
do anything, like go to a library, to know what you're talking about! That said, I'm
sure you'll be interested in getting the whole book from your library. I can't imagine you'd want to profess to know what it's like to be a male sexual assault victim without having any idea what you're talking about. No, that wouldn't be like you.
Oh, and
here's more! Again, I'm sure you'll read it...you're not the kind of person to just
assume what is and isn't "common sense" with absolutely no research to back you up. You're smarter than that!
You'll notice that the research does show that 25% of men have a positive reaction to sexual assault from a woman. Don't get ahead of yourself though, because the research also shows that men have difficulty accepting that they were sexually assaulted by a female in the first place, regardless of whether or not they liked it. It is unclear whether the men who are indifferent to or even enjoyed their sexual assault feel that way because they have been socialized into the myth that men should enjoy any and all sex they can get, or if they actually enjoyed it. Remember: it used to be a widely held belief that women were at fault if they were raped, and many female victims truly believed this because it was ingrained so deeply into their psyche. In fact,
we've got a long way to go regarding social attitudes toward female rape victims as well.
It's funny, I can't find a single journal article arguing that men truly enjoy sexual assault or that women are inherently non-violent. I wonder why that is. I mean, you must have read something reputable about it - you wouldn't just make shit up now, would you?!
Of course, the
most important thing here is that this nursing home situation is
nothing like the sexual assault of healthy, adult males! As has been stated - over and over again - these are people who in many cases can't even go to the bathroom without assistance, or who couldn't even remember what happened to them 5 minutes later! This sexual assault is very much like that of a child, with the exception of having effects on development.
