This book seeks to problematize knowledge and practices regarding ´male rape´ and its relationship to feminism, examining this issue from a Foucauldian perspective. Feminist constructions of ´male rape´ can plausibly be claimed to operate as a ´regime of truth´, but one must question whether this is running counter to patriarchy.
