That’s the weird thing about reporting it to the police, it only counts as unwanted if you’re the bottom as a guy.

My ex gf threatened to accuse me instead and we all know who they’d believe between a conventionally unattractive fat guy and a conventionally attractive skinny woman.

Nope, I dated her for a while though (I am not proud of this decision)

I reported it to my parents and my therapist. It was dismissed because “men can’t be assaulted”

at least 1 in 6 men have been sexually assaulted. ik of two in my life, and both happened when they were kids.

What #1 is saying is correct in some places. When most rape laws were written back in the day they defined rape as “penetration” so for a long time women were legally incapable of rape unless they got frisky with their fingers.

so did it happen when you were a kid and you just didn't understand it and thought you were gonna get in trouble if you had said something? im sorry i just don't understand how you didn’t see a reason to say something

Because, like me, they probably would’ve believed the woman in a “he says, she says” situation if they both accused the other

I told an FWB a few years later because we were hooking up and my rape caused some issues for me, she seemed to understand. I caught feelings for her, she didn’t like that, then she made fun of me for said issues and sent me pics of her naked in another dude’s bed.

I had almost the same thing happen with my first GF in college, but the issues were due to being physically abused as a kid. Pretty much the same result tho

There’s nothing to work through, though. Someone used their power to force me to obey them. I don’t like it, but it happens.

there is absolutely something to work through. you literally said it caused you issues within the bedroom, that's called a trauma response. also sexual assault/abuse, is not at all something we need ti be non chalant about. especially when jt happens to men. men's mental health is always important

Not important enough to do anything about. Harvey Weinstein went to jail, but you guys don’t even remember what Asia Argento did, do you?

I never said that being sexually assaulted caused me issues in the bedroom. I don’t like that I was assaulted, but it happened. Life goes on; there’s no benefit to dwelling on it.

taking care of your mental health is important to get better, im not sure why both of you as men aren't even advocating for men's mental health as victims of trauma. its not "dwelling" on it and i hate how you view it that way. it's literally part of the reason why men's mental health goes untreated. you might feel fine but you're not, and the only way out is through.

You’re literally telling me that you know about my mental state better than I do. Sorry, that’s just not the case. Not everyone is traumatized by the same experience. I do think that men’s mental health is important, and that anyone who is traumatized should seek help.

Trust me as I have two very important men in my life that were just like you and claimed they weren't traumatized, and they were and it ended up ruining their relationships. All because they didn't work through that trauma. You don't always recognize that you have it, and you're right I can't force you to do anything but just know that the body keeps score.

I know it feels equal and fair to say it can affect anyone but it mostly affects women. Men don't get to claim they're victims too when it comes to a lot of this stuff

so i'm an advocate for victims regardless of their gender! it mostly happens to little boys that grow up to become men who have been sexually abused. also just bc something affects one gender more than the other doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge the fact it happens to both. men's mental health is important

Hey so fun fact the post didn’t bring up women or put them down. Secondly yes men can claim they are victims when they’ve been assaulted. Use some critical thinking skills before you spew some bs
