The military is acknowledging a significant sexual harassment/sexual assault problem. And the majority of the incidents are male-on-male.
Part of the problem is the double-standards around sexuality and objectification. For instance pretty much everyone thinks that an adult male in a position of authority (e.g. a teacher) having sex with a underage female is wrong. Yet switch the genders and it is "gee, where were the hottie teachers when I was a kid" and fist pumping.
Assault is assault, rape is rape. Our culture objectifies and provides tacit (and sometimes overt) approval. Then we wonder why bad things happen.
