Well Dave, speaking as 'one of those sick feminists' I can tell you that I've been involved in a number of anti-rape marches and rape education efforts, all of which welcomed and included men. Feminists, in fact, are among the few who truly acknowledge the pain and humiliation of male rape survivors, without laughing or leering at the problem.
I admit I haven't seen this movie, but I have read the book. I felt deep empathy for the young man, and--while I felt the book was thoughtful and well-written--I found it very disturbing, and not erotic in any way. I admit I stopped short of 'foaming at the mouth,' but I truly felt for the young man; what happened to him was a tragedy.
