Who do you honestly think is more likely to be believed? A woman, or a man.... The woman claiming to be raped, while having not actually been, is in a position of power because she is more likely to be believed. The man who was actually raped is in a position where he will most likely not be believed, thus causing him even more suffering.

Yeah, but I don't think it would be THAT bad considering there would be absolutely nothing they could do to stop it. But maybe that feeling of helplessness would make them feel worse. I don't really know how it'd turn out

Well, imagine you were being tortured... we'll say with electric shock. That would be distressing enough. But add in a new factor, a device that stimulates your brain. This device interacts with your brain in such a manner to cause you to uncontrollably move your arm. You can't help that your arm is moving... that's just what happens when your brain recieves certain messages... but unless your arm is moving, you cannot be shocked. Now not only are you in a situation where you are being tortured, but if you were to prevent your body from functioning in a certain way, you could stop the method of torture. Would you feel ok because you just couldn't help it?

I know that seems like an odd way to try to explain it... but I hope it gets the point across.
