I have been sexually assaulted by multiple women. Funny how they refuse to acknowledge that it can be perpetuated by a woman against a man. In my state there has been a rash of female public school teachers getting sexually involved with underage male students, and yet they literally get a slap on the wrist. When women bitch that men don't take it seriously, maybe women should start taking it seriously too. Just because it doesn't happen against a woman doesn't mean its illegitimate. I'll take sexual assault against women as seriously as they take it against men. AKA not at all.
When women take sexual assault they commit against men seriously, I'll take their accusations seriously.. You wouldn't believe how many women think it is acceptable to grope a mans ass.
That's happened to me. Back in highschool I was getting a drink from a water fountain and a girl I HARDLY knew came up behind me and just full on grabbed my ass. I'd never do that to a girl I barely knew. I wouldn't do it to any girl I knew actually without her consent 1st but you're right. Their mindset is that men always want sex even though it's not true
Yep so have I but I don't feel scarred by it. I think the issue is men feel embarrassed and know they won't be taken seriously. Legally for example rape is defined as a man forcing a woman, there is technically no law asaik to stop women raping men. I may be wrong but that's what I have heard.
You're correct. Only a few people define rape with made to penetrate in mind. Until recently even the FBI defined rape with a male being the perpetrator. And even still the way they define it a woman technically can't be held accountable of rape
To answer your question further, any time men's issues are raised the feminist movement band together to shit down the conversation claiming misogyny. There have been many cases of feminists calling in bomb threats and protesting things such as talks about male suicide which as you probably know is far higher than women. It's really disgusting but I think that's the main reason, any man who speaks out is labelled anti-woman regardless of how legitimate their claim is and you can see in the media how much power women have to easily ruin a man's life without any consequences because they can remain anonymous while the man's whole reputation is destroyed forever.
@jessture she's a troll
This is a very sore subject for me. My beautiful brother was taken from my family through abuse from a priest. We where and still are a very close family he was 8 years old when the first case happened. Then again at 12 at a retreat centre.
We where not aware of what happened to him until he was 40 years of age struggling with alcoholism, he then confided in my mother. I will never forget the anger and shock. This killed my only brother I miss him so much and struggle with my Christianity because people of "god" did this!
It is a very serious issue that we need to change the stupid bias that males cannot be abused!!!
We live in a society that reduces men to their sexual urges. People assume incorrectly that men are always up for it so they must have wanted it, at least in the case for men victimized by women. Men are significantly less likely then women to report sexual harassment or rape (and women aren’t likely to either). So what can we do about it? Speak up when you hear people belittling someone’s victimization, support victims groups that have branches dedicated to male victims, and most importantly support anyone who comes to you about an assault.
We live in a society

I think we still think a man can't be a victim because we think men can fight off an attacker. We forget that men can be attacked by bigger men, and especially when intoxicated, can be attacked by a woman. We don't give men much opportunity to express things that have happened to them in a way that his would preserve his dignity. He's likely to be called less of a man. One GAG user even told me if a man gets attacked that means he's a fag or sissy.
That doesn't create an environment where a man can feel safe talking about and dealing with his trauma.
What do you think are the best ways to raise awareness? What do you think are the best ways to support a man who has been victimized?
because too many (both men and women) don't believe men can be victims. it is another characteristic of toxic masculinity that a man can't be raped or be a victim.
it's due to notions like: we're two strong and women are two weak for men to be victims OR all men want the sex they get from women
Any problem of men is widely ignored. Unless it affects women. For instance the issue that schools are catering to girls and boys often get ignored alienated etc. This has resulted in the huge gap between males and females with a college degree but what do you hear about in the media? Where are all the good (aka rich) men?
Why are men not stepping up and marrying these 35-40 year old women with good careers but no man? You see tons of these kinds of stories but never do you see anybody say. The reason why there's less eligible (again aka rich) men is because women took their jobs.
Women are seen as valuable by society because they can have children. Even though today we have so many people not that many women are actually needed, a little less people would be good for the planet. But it's in our instincts, that's just how it is. But men are only seen as valuable if they can provide a lot. The majority of men is seen as worthless. Even though many people would deny that, it's true. So men's issues are just ignored, laughed at, whatever.
Like if you see somewhere 50 people dead. You can be sure it's men because if there were any women it would say in the headline.
There was this story in the movie the red pill.
There was this terrorist group in Somalia and they hated education because people with brains ask annoying questions. They would go to schools with guns and round up all the kids. They would tie up the boys and burn them alive and they would tell the girls to go home never go to school again and live by the quran.
But nobody cared as long as they were killing boys so one day instead of letting the girls go, they kidnapped them. And wouldn't you know it? It sparked a international outrage The Obamas started a campaign to rescue the girls it was all over the media and social media.
They still killed the boys but nobody cared about that part they kidnapped girls OMG just for wanting to go to school and learn!! This is so sexist!!! But is it though? Did they let the boys learn? Who's really sexist? Is it the terrorists or is it the people who didn't care or didn't report about kids being burned alive as long as they were boys?
That's the world we live in, don't expect anybody to care about you. So take care of yourself and go after what you want/need.
Sexual abuse, no matter who produces it, is a serious and disgusting act reserved for the true sociopath. Their infliction on the victim can last a lifetime. As we have seen with the metoo movement these acts remain embedded for decades but what if no one listened to these women, how much worse would the trauma be?
I'm a male of almost 60, 50 years ago any boy who was the victim of this would not speak up. Unlike the female who could cry and have many sympathetic ears available along with vast support from police and vigilante's the male remained silent. The male feared if he spoke up he would be accused of engaging in this voluntarily and would now be labeled as a homosexual, something that 50 years ago was a condemned act and why gays hid in so called closets.
Next even if he did speak up the police would not follow up as the courts didn't was something so disgusting to be heard about our society. Finally the boy has in his mind something far worse than a female, he not only lost his virginity but he feels ashamed and feels he lost his manhood, something he'll never get back. Nobody listened.
If such a movement as metoo for men began today I believe that society would still feel like saying, suck it up, your a man, that happened long ago, get over it which, demonstrating a complete lack of empathy. We're men, we're supposed to be able to handle anything.
How do I know these things? 50 years ago I was given away to the state by my mother, I was then placed in a foster home of a single man and what happened to me over the next 18 months was nothing but daily sexual abuse. I tried to tell my social worker, no help, I tried to tell the police, they didn't care. As a result I would walk 20 miles through waist high snow, sit in front of the jail for 2-3 days until they took me in just to get away from this abuse
When asked why I would sit there I explained what this man was doing to me & the other boys. By law after 3 days later they'd return me to him and never say a word except to tell me not to say a word. 28 times in 18 months is how many times I went there. Sometimes I wouldn't go but after 45 days I would be physically picked up and placed outside. How bad does something have to be for a child to not only voluntarily go to jail but to fight others from making him leave?
As a result of this kind of ignorant blind eye turning more than 80% of male children back then were freely sexually molested, this means that 80% of our men over 40 experienced this.
Men are the ones mostly ignoring other men's problems. Besides from the stupid feminazis, women will tell you if you are alright and to seek help. Men however, from what I gathered, think men can't get raped or they should have fought back or some stupid reason like that. If a man raped another man. Also, i don't know why they'd think less of the rape than they would if he was a woman. I'd literally flip my shit if a male friend or family member of mine got raped. Unless you're a male child, i see there is a lot of disregard for male rapes. Its some taboo subject in many cases. I think men stigmatize themselves to much, so when the time comes when brotherhood is needed the most, most men just push it under the rug.
Love all the hate i get for this. When its true. Men, not the victims, moat of the time, don't consider the rape of men a problem. The real problem men tare hurting each other by not caring about problems like this. But hate all you want, you won't feel the same way if your son or brother has this done to him.
Sorry. It's not true. I have a male friend who was raped as a child. We care asshole
And its men that are disreagarding yoy. I'm happy you guys cared for your friend. And I'm sorry he was raped. But the problem is that too many men are the ones making it so male victims arnt getting the help they need. With the help of feminazis of course.
Yet all your dislikes are men. Come on lady fam just because we are men doesn't make us sociopaths
No, the reason men are disliking it is because they rather blame it on men, when its men who tell their friends why didn't yoy fight back? Are you gay? Why wouldn't you want that chick to fuck you? While I admit some women are assholes and degrade men too, the problen is that men arnt looking out forbeach other. The reason why women have So muchbsupport for it, is because we make support group and we make sure tgat things happen for fenale victims. Men like to blame women for them not getting help, when its their own gender as cops, as parent sas friends and family, who ignore tgem when they say theyve been raped and molested. And yea, not all men do this, like you, I'm sure you are a good man who would do everything you could to get your friend or family the help they needed of they were the victim of such crimes, but their isn't enough of those men promoting justice for the male victims of the world. .
They rather blame it on women*
I kinda agree with that to a certain extent. My friend was sexually assaulted by another former friend of ours, and while we did support him through the trial, we mostly just joke about it and the guy who did it. There's nothing really wrong with that, many people (not just men) actually find that joking about something traumatic is one of the best ways to deal with it, but when it comes to actually dealing with the EMOTIONAL side of it, he turned to his female friends. Not because we didn't care, but because none of us are good at the emotional stuff.
What? What men do you hang out with?
Look on any video about a woman having sex with a male student. Many men are stating how they wish their teachers did the same. Even the comments on the men's side, says they had friends (men) who gave him a high five for him getting raped by a women, he was 8! But I saw your comment, and of course you only blame women. So, i see we won't be able to see eye to eye. But, im happy to know you would do something if your male friends and family were victims of rape, I'm truly happy that you would and I wish more men were like you (however, that didn't blame women) will come to the surface with each generation that goes by.
And I'm happy to hear he was able to talk to someone.
I don't blame women wth lady. Only perverts want to fuck their teachers. Good day I'm done with this conversation and it's accusations
@AD240... I'm happy your friend got help, I mistook your post for someone else's, so I'll just say 5his here. But its the joking like what your friends did, while it might seem funny, it really isn't in the long run. Its things like that, that make turn to women for emotional support. Im happy you care for your friend tho. Thats sweet that you guys try to make hin laugh and stuff. i hope he's ok now.
You literally blamed women in your post below. But good day. I'm happy to finish a covo with someone who likes to point the finger. ✌
Puperlover not all women are feminists
I agree with you and I gave the only guy like. I don't know, why you got so many dislikes. If there is for example an online article that a man has been raped, majority of women feel sympathy (like I feel too), but most men are like "good for him" or "I bet he enjoyed". I don't get it.
I don’t know why this got so many downvotes when it’s ringing in truth tbh. All the guys that downvoted should go through and read all the opinions from men on this question where they said they shared that they were raped (one user was reportedly as young as EIGHT YEARS OLD at the time of the assault) with their male friends, and were “given high fives,” “offered fist bumps,” “congratulated,” and the only thing their friends wanted to talk about was “how hot she was” or turn the entire thing into a joke instead of feeling any sympathy or offering support to their friend. From what I’ve seen, the general behavior of other men is the main thing holding men back from opening a dialogue about male victims of rape/sexual assault, not women (though there are certainly a handful of asshole women).
I was assaulted by my babysitter when I was in 3rd grade. I told my parents the week after, and they buried it under the rug I suspect because of not wanting to deal with the shame. It has never come up in conversation with them again since. I told a couple friends in high school and they just offered fist bumps and wanted details on how hot she was.
To this day I wouldn't say I'm emotionally scared or wrecked by that experience, but it opened my eyes to the reality of how people GENERALLY respond to such events. So I move on with life and pretend it never happened because there is no purpose in reopening an old wound.
Because it shows that they were weak at one point, so they don't want to speak up. And a lot of ignorant people don't think sexual assault can happen to guys when it does. More than you'd think. And I, being a victim of sexual assault and such, find it quite sad when they too go ignored for speaking up or get called liars.
I think it's society that has taught men that they need to be strong and hide their emotions because guys are "supposed to be strong and be the protection for girls" which I find complete bullshit. Like guys are human, they need support to, and to show their emotions and sometimes they even need to cry.
Anyway, I forgot where I was going with that but yeah.
People behave that way because on average males are phisically stronger. That average makes people believe the faulty generalization than men are always stronger. Besides people tend to believe that in an abuse the abuser (male or female) will always be the phisically stronger, which might usually happen, but not necessary always. So if people believes all this, people tend to believe that because men tend to be stronger they only can be abusers and can't be abused. People should know not every men is that strong or that there are psychological ways to force people and abuse even if they are phisically stronger.
To finish, another problem might be the irreal idea that all men always are horny and want sex, which is a lie. Maybe a emotional, social and sexual education of quality could help future generations to avoid this kind of abuse in both men and women and learn to respect every individual, and specially not to mock or treat differently due to gender.
Men are physically stronger but they have been tempered and shamed for their “evil” masculinity.
I’ve had women physically assault me knowing that if I hit them back I would get arrested and charged.
Because Lets be honest. Nobody gives a shit about men who get assaulted and harassed unless they are under 10 and even then a lot of people will just say they got lucky.
You know the whole thing with Asia Argento and Jimmy Bennett?
If Jimmy didn't have hard photo evidence and text messages to collaborate his claim AND wasn't considered a minor at the time, do you HONESTLY think anybody would believe him? I seriously doubt it, i imagine many of these #metoo hacks would have brushed him off, in fact a lot of #metoo types STILL don't believe him.
To many of these self righteous feminists, men are expendable at best, and flat out worthless at worst.
Why is the sexual victimization of men ignored? Because no one cares.
Men don't seem to speak up as often as women do, therefore there's not much coverage on it and it's still kinda a taboo subject. Can't blame them for not speaking up either due to the awful stories I've heard of people thinking a man can't be sexually assaulted and calling them weak. The double standards when it comes to this are both ridiculous and saddening.
@SngBirdy whatcha mean? I know it can happen to women as well if that's what you're saying.
@SngBirdy i suppose that's true, I'm talking about the ones who do actually get sexually assaulted to the point where it bothers them, you don't really hear them speaking up about it.
They dont, you are right.
Thing is, sexual assault performed by girls doesn't reach the extents like with guys.
Maybe a girl starts getting annoyed at some point, but we won't actually be in fear. But a girl can properly get creeped out and fell threatened if that happens to her.
The extent of sexual assaults performed by women just simply do not reach the level where a guy starts reporting it to other people.
People still see men as strong and assume that they should be able to fight back and because of that, men aren’t taken as seriously when they speak up and many don’t speak up at all out of fear of being ridiculed. I remember when the whole Terry Crews incident happened and I remember reading so many comments basically dismissing what he went through because “he’s a big, strong man and should’ve been able to fight back” and that he should “man up” because it wasn’t a big deal.
The issue then if a man fights back they can also get accused for being a woman abuser/beater for defending themselves. I'm all against raising a hand to a woman but tbf if one can try beat the shit out a guy surely they deserve something.
@Lost-soul831 yeah, it’s really a lose-lose situation sometimes unfortunately.
When I first told someone I was raped by my sisters friend they asked for a high five, I was 8 years old. When I was 11 I was raped for the first time by my step father and when I told my mum she beat me, rape went on for 4 years every time she left me alone with my step father, I used to cry begging her not to leave me with him, I ended up running away and haven't been back since and haven't seen any of them for nearly 20 years. To this day I can't stand men coming too close to me because I start freaking out and curl up in a corner.
I'm so sorry to hear that love. I really am. This is exactly what I was talking about, but you won't get much help here, cause the men on this question would rather blame women then men Like those boys who didn't help you. Have you talked about it with anyone? Like a sister or anything? The worst thing you can do is keep your emotions bottled up.
Because everyone that’s supposed to garner attention for that and support for its victims are too busy trying to hype up how common the sexual victimization of women is. But, to be fair, the only people who I hear pull the “Well a guy should enjoy it and feel lucky to have been sexually assaulted by a woman,” are other guys.
Because in this world only women matter.. take a look at what happens to these female teachers that sexually assault boys... most of the time a slap on the wrist.. some even get to keep teaching... Male teachers that do the same thing... straight to prison for 25+ years...
It's because no one cares how men feel generally. The stronger sex isn't supposed to allow things like this to happen to them or to affect them. We all know it does happen, It's just that men aren't as important to the future of the planet overall as women. We don't produce children from our bodies. We aren't physically weaker or expected to need as much help. That's just the way the world is, not even human society.
I've been sexually assaulted as well. I choose not to let it turn me into a victim. I don't want to be coddled and treated like a child. I never want to be a victim and kept in a safe space. I'll stand up taller than those who seek to hold me down.
I don't know, just something that comes naturally to me. Supposedly, it has something to do with the massive amounts of testosterone we men have. Who knows.
I suppose one reason is shame. Lots of men maybe won't talk about it, becuz it makes them look weak. And what happens if they do talk about it? Ridicule? You're a guy. Be a man. I've been a victim of physical sexual harassment in the workplace. Took a lot of guts to complain to the boss.
Beacuse our society is sexist. But not in the way feminist say. The opposite one.
If you're a women, society cares about you. If you're man, then nobody gives a shit.
Look arround. Dating sites, severe lack of females. Here, there was some poll. Which sex do you preffer to be firends with. Females win.
If you're guy, you're not supposed to have feelings.
Feminist propaganda.
If they had to admit that issues like sexual assault aren't gender issues then their entire ideology falls apart.
If they had to admit that the Male and Female brain copes with these issues differently and need different approaches to treatment then their entire ideology falls apart.
Man have times changed. I had sex at 13 with an 18 year old girl who pulled down my bathing suit, and we ended up having sex three different ways at her empty house half the day and I enjoyed every minute of it. The next day she blackmailed me into doing the same with her 15 year old neighbor, or they'd tell my grandmother. I enjoyed every damned minute of it, and only wish it could happen to me now.
I think a lot of people don't realize it happens. A lot of the time, I think of sexual assault as something that happens to women. Also, sometimes people think it doesn't affect men the same way it does women. I'm sorry you had to experience it though. It shouldn't happen to anyone.
Because this is the result of the men from the past brainwashing everyone to believing women are dainty flowers who couldn’t POSSIBLY be a threat in any way.
Simple
Do you just go around leaving vague text photos with a title of "simple" on everyone's questions? I've seen you many times before
Societal indoctrination. Go on Youtube and watch the experiments where a girl hits a guy in public vs. when a guy hits a girl. When the girl is abusing the guy, people ignore it or even join in. When the guy hits the girl, people intervene. Or a lady who runs onto a baseball diamond and starts grabbing all of the players' butts. She gets kicked out for trespassing, but if a man did it to a ladies team, he's be charged with sexual assault and be a registered offender for life.
Even if we speak up, we're still seen us oppressors because we can't get pregnant. There's no point opening up or we'd be looked because we're expected to defend ourselves. Oh and we can get called monsters for defending ourselves so check mate. Letting it be till we kill ourselves.
Because men themselves act like they want to be sexually harrased by women. Especially teenagers. I can't even count the amount of times me and my friends have been talking about a hotty and said stuff like, welp, she can "rape" me if you know what i mean.
wrong?
I think it's because they can't seem to comprehend that males are victims too. They always expect men do be the ones harassing because they're stronger or whatever. But I think that some men don't fight back because they're scared of retaliation for hitting a woman.
Because men believe those guys wanted it, and because women don't want to think their gender ever rapes anybody.
Feminazis are the death of me. I'm sorry you feel like women think that, but i assure you a lot don't. a lot are sick by teachers and women who rape men and young boys.
Because you’re week and gay and and and erm stupid if you get raped by a woman there weak and would never do that
The next day
Omg I can do this on my own you know women are strong too you sexist
-a feminazi
Just so you know not me but that’s the reson because double standard they just want the privilege and nothing bad
Looool a feminazi disliked
So you someone who said they was a good feminist even though that is what they do a feminist would not a feminazi want the double standards or am I wrong and it just the whole feminist movement
What I said was them being hipcritical and wanting a double standard
Ok so what’s so bad about it
I was making fun of atualy things I have heard them say
Yes.
It's not really a problem with Women not believing men, it's more about men not believing men... At least according to actual statistics instead of looking at editorials or news stories with female anchors.
Probably because when women are sexually victimized, it's usually by men, and they are much larger and stronger than women, and are much more vulnerable, on average, than is a man.
It's interesting to see the men with thumbs down here. I guess they don't think when a woman is sexually assaulted, it's usually by a man, and they don't agree that men are larger and stronger than women, and are more vulnerable. Or maybe, they ignore reality, because they don't like reality. That's what Trump does, and I'd well imagine these three men belong to Trump's cult.
It doesn’t get ignored. Men just don’t speak up as much. But I personally know a guy that was molested by a male family member. He told his parents and they said he misinterpreted the situation.
Men need to speak up too!
molested by a male family member: not unusual in some trailerparks, I read.
It was a snooty family.
Because men are more likely not to talk about it than women. Its quite sad actually because this makes people believe that stuff like this just doesn't happen.
Because it's difficult to paint this picture of toxic masculinity if men are victims too.
I generally think most SJW/feminist ideas are complete bullshit, but they’ve honestly kind of got me stumped with the toxic masculinity thing. If toxic masculinity doesn’t exist to at least some extent, then why, when sharing their story with male friends, is a male victim of sexual abuse CONGRATULATED for GETTING LAID, instead of offered SYMPATHY & SUPPORT for having been RAPED? Just read some of the opinions from the guys on here where they talk about how they shared their trauma with some of their close friends, some of them are absolutely disgusting. One guy said he was only in third grade (about 8-9 years old) when he was sexually assaulted by his babysitter, and when he told some of his friends several years later, they offered him fist bumps and just wanted him to tell them how hot she was.
I don't even need to answer this question directly. Instead, I invite you to look at all of the other comments here about how male rape victims need to man up, should be laughed at, or even denying that there is a problem with male sexual assault victims being ignored. All comments by women.
Please don’t think we are all ignorant though.. I personally find it incredibly unbelievable that women can make comments like that in the first place. Even worse when they demand the respect they’re not giving.
Of course I know that not all women believe this, but I know it's pretty prevalent. I've been told by a woman in person, not even behind an anonymous Internet persona, that men cannot be raped, period.
Oh my goodness, that is so awful... I’m so terribly sorry.
It would help if they stepped up and brought attention to it like metoo did. It has been hard to draw attention to a problem where the victims are hiding.
I blame men for it. I can hardly imagine a woman, who thinks it's right for women to rape men, but many men thinks that it's ok and cute and stuff like "I want to be raped too". These are bad stereotypes.
Because we are not man enough to talk about it
PS
I was sexually abused by a older neighbour when i was 11 or 12
& Because of it m still scared of having sex ( i am 22 now)
Meeting a psychologist is like a taboo in my city
So i can't go for therapy or talk about it with anyone else
A childhood friend of mine knows about it
But now we pretend like it never happened
I know men get sexually assaulted too. Don't worry I'm on your side. Sexual abuse is veryyy serious for both genders
Because it runs contrary to the tyrannical patriarchy myth. If men are victims then they can't be oppressors. If the left admits that men aren't actually tyrannical and oppressive then they run out of talking points.
Women can get away with a lot more when physically and sexually harassing men. Can a woman outright rape a man? Extremely rare but not impossible.
What’s more common are women physically assaulting men knowing that society will back them up if the guy defends himself. I’ve had women try to provoke me into hitting them knowing if i did everyone would jump on me.
Yes men are stronger and can be violent. But we have been shamed relentlessly for it to the point we can even defend ourselves.
Good question. I’m glad you don’t expect women to take on your problems, and instead you’re speaking out for yourself. In regards to the update, men should also speak out about how they don’t want people to laugh at them if they come out.
More and more cases about abuse in the catholic church have been uncovered recently. Most of the victims are boys.
Spotlight is a great movie which is exactly about that topic.
I can only recommend it.
It is something that men feel too embarrassed to talk about.
I guess because most of sexual assault is done by men. I may be wrong. But yeah it shouldn't be ignored
A lot of us just don't speak up about it. It's a point of shame, or people will poke fun at the situation.
So have I.
They don’t care it’s just the case of “man up” nobody cares. Because they’re deluded and persuaded by women as the completely innocent ones.
It's true that there are gay men who are rapists, albeit a minority. That being said, any stories about a man supposedly being victimized by a woman are pure fabrication.
because nobody cares about men. not even men. the amount of men who've been raped and 'turned' gay is disgusting. I still have hatred and mistrust from my assault.
Im truly sorry about what happened to you. But i assure you there are people put there who car and would love to help you through any problems you have. I know this world is a fucked up place but just remember that you are beautiful, you are strong and you deserve much better.
@Puppylover_129 thanks swirl queen
My brother-in-law got beat on by his ex wife. She is now on her fourth husband - she has this habit of being a serial marriage killer.
Because men are supposed to be able to handle themselves and they're not seen as being as vulnerable as women.
"It's much more prevalent than people think"
Stats, please
In 72 years nobody tried it with ME or even suggested it.
Best guess: men filing a complaint after abusing themselves the woman.
I would like to know how the study was worded, to get the desired answers. And if any trials are mentioned.
It’s not ignored. It’s becuz you men don’t tell about it to anyone. U should man up and tell this to someone like ur parents since they’re the people u should trust. Or even report to the police
I'm sick of this "you should man up". And even so, we get doubted a lot until it get to the point we don't have to say anything. They can tell us the same thing even our parents tells us to man up.
Are you saying you girls "man up" because you open up? Well you don't have to "man up" because people will simply believe you anyway.
It’s not that men don’t talk about it... and even if they don’t, we should reflect on ourselves as a society rather than blame the man. Even as a female, who is much more likely to be accepted, I’m still terrified to open up and talk — even to my parents. Maybe sexual victimization of men isn’t wholly ignored, but it’s greatly pushed aside and thought of as less important or valid because people think it’s so much less prevalent than it probably is. Please don’t tell him to “man up.” Honestly, I think telling him to “man up” as a sexual victim is just as belittling as asking a female sexual victim what she was wearing.
@shelbyr1721 You can say not all but generally speaking, men just don't. To counteract what you said, there are women who get society to believe them even if there is no proof.
Oh okay, well I’m sorry. I was just trying to stand up for him; I certainly didn’t mean to offend any male victims. And I agree, there are cases where women get society to believe them even when there’s no proof. @Aiko_E_Lara
Its the same with psychological and physical abuse cases. Women do it plenty too but no-one believes the men especially other men. They think its a joke. It took me months of therapy before my female therapist saw it for what it was.
That’s so wrong that even your therapist wouldn’t take your word for it until months later... I’m really sorry.
Because some people are ignorant and think only women can be raped. So when men come forward with their stories they get shut down and told to man up about it.
That is because thanks to feminazism, women are portrayed as the innocent victims and men the perpetrators who are always in the wrong.
bcs patriarchy and male privilage and something something buzz word buzz word autistic screeching... its almost like we aren't human too
