It seems to me that two of the things which Larry thinks make 
rape more tragic for a man than for a women (i.e. that he is 
'subject to rape and dominace' which 'leads directly to 
subservience' and that he is forced to take a role that he 
has been taught belongs to the women') describes that situation 
which women are expected to live with. In other words, its only 
tragic because the raped man is being treated like a woman. 
How humiliating! How sad! (And how nice it would be if women were not 
expected to be subservient and subject to domination.)
