Tbh i genuinely think the only think that would happen would be they would punish women sadly. Harsh jail time for the stabbing. You see how they write headlines when men are criminals and women are victims. “Woman brutally attacks man who she lured to dinner” no mention of her getting raped
True but that also has a lot to do with the toxic atmosphere both men and the justice system have towards victims period. If they don’t believe women who are assaulted more often then of course they write off men and act like they can’t be abused. It’s all really sad and disgusting and male victims deserve more support as well
Here y’all go again. If you feel like no one cares about male victims speak up for them in a separate conversation, not as a rebuttal and deflection. Y’all don’t even care if the only time you think about men is when we bring up women’s sexual assault. Why should anyone else care?
Exactly. Victims are in fact victims, regardless of their gender. But, there is a cleared history in the difference that men and women respond to conversations around sexual assault. Men are the main perpetrators of SA, men are the main ones in the justice system who were in charge of going after the perpetrators, and they are the ones who to continue to support/uphold environments where their male counterparts do not feel comfortable coming to them when something bad happens.
I’m not saying that there aren’t women who don’t believe that male victims exist, think male victims are overreacting, etc. because horrible women like that are definitely around. But we’ve all seen a post from a male victim online while where women trying to be supportive and offer him comfort and there will be men in the comment saying “I wish that happened to me” or “ you should be happy about it”.
