>men have to deal with the fact that they're more likely to be rasped by another man

Not really.

From a comment below:

One of the studies of the Bureau of Justice data notes that in a certain subset of the data, 46% of the male victims of sexual assault reported a female perpetrator.

54% vs 46% is not much of a difference. And then you have this from the article:

"Women were more likely to be abused by fellow female inmates, and men by guards, and many of those guards were female. For example, of juveniles reporting staff sexual misconduct, 89 percent were boys reporting abuse by a female staff member."
