Estimates of the percentage of men in the US who are sexually assaulted during their lives keep climbing as we slowly chip away at patriarchal cultural norms.
Some researchers have tried to use trends, stats from different groups, etc. to model/estimate the "true" rate of men being assaulted, assuming (and there's a lot of supporting evidence) that men are less likely to report being victimized than women are, even in anonymous surveys.
However, no matter what, lots of men are sexually abused by women. Maybe not as many as he other way around... but it's not a competition. There are lots of kinds of victims.
It's hard to put this on a bumper sticker or protest sign.
