    Good list but 7 seems wrong.

    Studies I’ve read for work suggest that around 1 in 10 men have experienced unreported sexual abuse. Same studies suggest the statistic is 1 in 5 women, which is much worse, but it does a disservice to male victims to suggest ten percent is ‘negligible.’

    (as someone whose crotch was aggressively groped by a female in college and never reported I’m admittedly a bit sensitive)

      7 is about rape. You talk about sexual abuse. They are not synonyms.

      Also, in the link above the following passage might interest you:

      As McIntosh points out, men also tend to be unaware of their own privileges as men. In the spirit of McIntosh’s
      essay, I thought I’d compile a list similar to McIntosh’s, focusing on the invisible privileges benefitting men.
      Due to my own limitations, this list is unavoidably U.S.-centric. I hope that writers from other cultures will create
      new lists, or modify this one, to reflect their own experiences.
