4th law of robotics

5. Men can be abused too

often by older males in a position of authority (kinda like a cop).

So I could imagine this practice being equally traumatizing for a male victim of sexual abuse as it would be for a female victim of sexual abuse.

Additionally men can be raped by women (again, often an older woman in a position of authority). So a female cop groping a male isn't necessarily kosher either.

So like I said: it's either ok as a general practice or wrong as a general practice. You can't exempt people based on gender.
