-> Percepcija muškarca kao pripadnika jačeg spola, a žene kao slabijeg. - posljedice:
Nasilje nad ženama je često glasnije osuđivano, nego nasilje nad muškarcima.
Nasilje nad muškarcima često ne biva shvaćeno ozbiljno - čak se uzima kao predmet podsmijeha [Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them! controversy]. Posebice ako je provedeno od strane žene. Statistika iznesena na stranici UK Men and Father's Rights [istraživanje provedeno u Velikoj Britaniji od strane agencije za ispitivanje tržišta MORI] je zastrašujuća:
Ista stranica se poziva i na druge izvore poput članka "Prevalence and stability of physical aggression between spouses: a longtitudinal analysis" by K. O'Leary, J. Barling, Arias, Ilena, A. Rosenbaum, J. Malone and A. Tyree - Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. 57(2):263-268, 1989.:* One in five (18 percent) of men have been victims of domestic violence by a wife or female partner as opposed to 13 percent of women by a man.
* One in nine women admit to having used physical aggression against a husband or male partner (compared to one in ten men).
* 14 percent of men say that they have been slapped by a partner (compared to 9 percent of women).
* 11 percent of men have had a partner threaten to throw something heavy at them (compared to 8 percent of women).
* Only 4 percent of women explained that their behavior (either verbal or physical) was because of drink or drugs (compared to ten percent of men).
* Nearly half (47 percent) of women say that their behaviour (physical or verbal aggression or verbal reasoning) was because "it was the only way I could get through to him".
* Working class men (20 percent) are more likely to have been subjected to physical agression by a wife or female partner than upper or middle class men (15 percent).
Čin silovanja izvršen od strane muškarca nad ženom je teže sankcioniran u odnosu na isto djelo počinjeno od strane žene nad muškarcem - ako se uopće žrtva od srama usudi nazvati policiju - jer muškarci su viđeni kao agresori, a ne žene. Česta reakcija na takvu situaciju je opet podsmijeh ili nevjerica. Riječ je o marginaliziranom problemu koji svakako zahtijeva više pozornosti.This report notes that 31% of men and 44% of women in a study reported that they aggressed against their partner in the year before marriage. Eighteen months after marriage, 27% of the men and 36% of the women reported being violent towards their partner.
izvor: Rape Of Men Is Not Uncommon, Study SaysResearchers in England found that 3 percent of men said they were sexually assaulted after reaching age 16 and nearly half of the men reported they were forced into sex by women. The study, the largest study of nonconsensual sexual experience in men, surveyed 2,474 men in England, and is published in the current issue of The British Medical Journal. Many of the men never talked about being raped, the study found.
Kao zabrinjavajući podatak navodi se i broj silovanja izvršen od muškaraca nad drugim muškarcima koji se događaju u zatvorima - "In 2001, Human Rights Watch estimated that at least 140,000 inmates in the United States had been raped while incarcerated, and there is a significant variation in the rates of prison rape by race. Stop Prisoner Rape, Inc.[1] estimate that young men are five times more likely to be attacked; and that the prison rape victims are ten times more likely to contract a deadly disease."

Sljedeći kamen spoticanja je obrezivanje - u religijske ili druge svrhe. Postoje određeni rizici & prednosti istog, a pitanje je što prevladava - negativne ili pozitivne posljedice o čemu različiti stručnjaci imaju različita mišljenja. Koga više zanima: Medical analysis of circumcision & Circumcision controversies. Wikipedia podcrtava u članku o muškim pravima: "Circumcision (characterized as harmless tradition by some, and as male genital mutilation by others) being advocated while female genital mutilation is prohibited, although both practices are purported to reduce sexual pleasure and expose the patient to possible health problems."A Florida prisoner whom we will identify only as P.R. was beaten, suffered a serious eye injury, and assaulted by an inmate armed with a knife, all due to his refusal to submit to anal sex. After six months of repeated threats and attacks by other inmates, at the end of his emotional endurance, he tried to commit suicide by slashing his wrists with a razor. In a letter to Human Rights Watch, he chronicled his unsuccessful efforts to induce prison authorities to protect him from abuse. Summing up these experiences, he wrote: "The opposite of compassion is not hatred, it's indifference."
