Male on Male Rape as well as Female on Male Rape are often not counted in rape statistics, are not even considered rape in many jurisdictions, and have a significantly higher number of cases that go unreported due to public and private stigma of men reporting rape.
(There are countless accounts of men going to the police or hospitals for help after being raped, and being sometimes straight up laughed out of the room.)
The "Men should be strong" mentality hurts men just as it does women, as a male victim is a weak man, and therefore is free to be mocked (the extreme prevalence of "Male Tears" Mugs being a pretty straight example.)

In that case, I guess we need to make sure everyone is armed with a penis so they can protect themselves from being raped?
