In America, it’s fairly common to still find people feeling it is hilarious and/or just that men get raped in prison. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard that from people - that going to prison SHOULD involve men getting raped, because then they’ll learn. This kind of discussion even for things like possessing a joint. What someone is supposed to “learn” from rape is unclear, but this country is full of some very backward notions still.

No wonder misogyny is such a problem if some Americans think it high comedy and male “criminals” are getting their just desserts by getting raped as a method of “correction”.

I’ve often heard this from women, too. One was a former GF (we didn’t last long). I did finally ask my GF if she thought women should get raped as part of this system, too, including for nonviolent crimes. I’ve asked other women that were gleeful about the prospect of some “criminal” (in some cases, someone they personally knew) getting raped if they think it should work for female “criminals”, too. They recoiled at the question - even being asked bothered them. Those that did answer all said no, but that any men that get raped is because they deserve it, and need to “know what it is like”.

People can be weird sometimes.
