Do you think this project was long overdue to help male victims of sexual abuse heal?

Sexual abuse of both men & women need to be addressed. Both are fairly new - it's only been a few decades that we've opened up to addressing sexual abuse of women. To this day, it's still met with denial (the false accusation defense).

It's of late that men are talking about their abuse. This is because they've recently dropped their macho stance of not being seen as a victim. Certainly, the Catholic priest sexual abuse scandal brought the issue into the open -in a respectful manner.

Most, if not all, rape crisis centers will serve male victims. And I think men are also opening up some centers and support groups for themselves.

If there is a need for it, then it should be available. Certainly enough boys do get abused (my own were molested) and I was shocked at how it degraded their confidence and self belief.

Their humiliation and distress overpowered them. To this day they won't talk about it.

I wish there was something like this in our area - perhaps I would have known what to do. They weren't physically harmed - there was fondling and attempts at kissing - and the man was an elderly neighbour. We didn't want to hound him or his family and just didn't know what to do. So because there was no case, we weren't pointed to the right departments.

I think something like this could have helped me to help them. (I'm not sure they think of themselves as victims of sexual abuse.)

Yes, there is a shelter and support center in my area that counsels male victims of rape and sexual/domestic abuse, but it's not exclusively oriented towards men. Which is fine, I don't have any problem with that as long as survivors have access to the help they're looking for.

There is also a men's health clinic in my area that can help with some of those issues as well as nutrition, fertility, and STDs.

In your answer to a question (see your answer quoted, below) about a woman who viciously sexually assaulted her BF, leaving him permanently sexually maimed, you refused to outright condemn her and but, instead, counseled her to "forgive herself". You and I both know that is something that you would NEVER say to a man, were the genders reversed. Thus proving that you are just another feminazi, hypocrite and liar and unambiguously an enemy and hater of men.

"The kick was not meant to intentionally cause him to lose a testicle. You were angry and jealous and lashed out. Although this turned out to have negative consequences perhaps you should just leave it with a sincere apology and move on. Next time something like this happens I am sure that you will have worked out a more cautious way to deflect your feelings. Maybe some anger management would be a good idea and this will help you to deal with the guilt. Remember it was an accident and forgive yourself. "

I don't even know if something like this exists in the area we're in, but it should be everywhere. Boys get sexually abused, too.

VIVA LA RAZA!

Long, long overdue.

Male victims of sexual abuse are frequently the butt of the media's cruel jokes; it is relieving to see a force to counter that lowly misandry.
