Prison rape is usually treated as a joking
matter such as in a Geico Insurance radio
advert in the US: "...get thrown in jail, meet
a guy named (ominous pause) Wally!!?"

In the state of Delaware, Governor Ruth
Ann Minner's casually dismissive attitude
toward prison rape in her state's prisons
has become a target of public criticism
after Cassandra Arnold, a counselor in
Delaware's Department of Correction
spoke about her experiences after being
taken hostage and raped at a Delaware
prison last July.

Gov. Ruth Ann Minner's response was
to sniff, "In prisons, you almost expect
this to happen."  Gov. Minner's political
miscalculation was to make that dismissive
remark not in reference to her admin-
istration's neglect of the men in her
prisons who are raped and abused,
but about Ms. Arnold's rape by an
inmate.

This case is another of the many real-life cases
demonstrating that men's issues are ignored
until a woman can be brought forward to
be the Establishment Media's 'poster girl'
who plays the female victim role.  The media's
feminacentrism then leads to the effect the
issue has on men being swept out of the
public's awareness, more man-bashing,
and a call for more resources to be directed
to 'protecting' or 'rescuing the already
protected and privileged women.
