The "ugly" thing is new. But, I have heard here that men can't be raped by women, and my "favorite" (heavy ) is that gay/bi men cannot be raped, except by heterosexual men, and even then it is questionable as to if it is actually rape. Those claims were also made by women. I have seen one male make a similar comment about gay men eons ago (DU2), but I can't remember who, but I do think he was banned before DU3, which means he could be back.

As for rape against sex workers, sadly, I have seen both men and women make those comments here (and other allegedly liberal/progressive) sites. Much less common, and I can only remember a few instances, and usually the reaction was brutal, were a few who didn't think spouses could be raped.

(PS, I also think you meant to say others were claiming "Can't rape the willing?", not "unwilling".)
