i am a male myself. I see male on male rape as a problem. But a female raping a man? what? How could that happen? The guy must be a huge beta male. cuck.

Actually, there have been some films made that featured scenes of men being raped by women, including last year's "Knock Knock" (2015) by Eli Roth with Keanu Reeves, Skip Woods' "Thursday" (1998) and several others here and there, and there actually is one obscure 2007 Canadian short film that is arguably the first as such in history that deals with a man exacting vengeance on two women that did it to him. (I challenge you to not only look it up but watch it and not get mentally disoriented.)

And in typical example of men being victims by men at such hands, it actually HAS been addressed in cinema, whether its prison films like "Scum" (1979) by late Alan Clarke, "Shawshank Redemption" (1994), "Midnight Express" (1978) and "Ghosts... of the Civil Dead" (1988) plus look up the extremely disturbing and notorious Spanish film "In a Glass Cage" (1987) by Augustin Villaronga if you're not convinced that cinema has touched upon this matter before (make sure you can stomach it).

But I think because the standard example is so common and has been recognizeable for thousands of years that more movies are being made about it including things that follow later on.

The greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!
