Uh ... yes? Does that somehow change what I said? Prison rape (M-on-M) is still viewed differently to F-on-M rape by most people. Rape is always bad, obviously. That's kind of the point. Most people don't realize men don't want to be raped (by women) but do realize that men don't want to be raped in jail (by men.)
F-on-M rape codes the way it does in part because of societal gender expectations. Causal direction is difficult to disentangle, but there is some reason to think that people would be more aware of the reality of F-on-M rape (and supportive of victims) if gender expectations were different.
