Um, yeah. I'm reminded of the first female American soldier who was taken POW (who, contrary to public opinion was not Jessica Lynch), Col. Rhonda Cornum, who was assaulted during the Gulf War. When an interviewer said that surely women in the military were facing a risk that their male counterparts didn't, she looked him straight in the eye and said she had seen no evidence that men who are raped feel any better about the situation than women do.
