		<description>&quot;Finally, as victim advocates, this really begs the question - are rapes really going down, or are fewer being reported?&quot;

There are fewer reported which is the problem in most areas that advocates deal with including domestic abuse/violence and stalking.  I don&#039;t know that there are really reliable figures for domestic abuse/violence and stalking.  Many times police officers don&#039;t even file a report. 

Sexual assault or rape of a man of course is considered either pedophilia if they are minors or just a &quot;gay thing&quot; if they are adults.  In the case of pedophilia, the victmizer is sent to prison.  In the case of the &quot;gay thing&quot; the victim is a &quot;guilty victim.&quot; 

You do have to wonder who comes up with the standards if they do not consider forcible anal intercourse to be rape. It is probably the most violent form of rape. 

Reality is so few rapes are reported in Texas because so few are ever prosecuted particularly in the minority communities. 

Until attitudes change, nothing else will.</description>
