EDIT: THIS POST IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. IT’S CALLING OUT THE STIGMA OF NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE IT IS. I have a hard time communicating with other men about SA experiences, specifically woman-on-man SA. The biggest challenges I face when opening up to other men are summed up in these generalized quotes: “(Specifically about adult women grooming boys) What are they complaining about? I wish that was me.” “They got hard, so they enjoyed it, so it wasn’t SA.” “They should have fought back.” “(laughs) I thought that scene from Wedding Crashers was also hilarious!” Has anyone else noticed these types of thinking? What are the ways we, as men, can combat these narratives? Because talking openly about these issues and breaking them down can and will help a lot of male victims of SA. submitted by /u/Prudent-Sleep-3655
