teep_ 02/17/21 11:25:58 AM #1:	About half of men have had an unwanted or non-consensual sexual experience, research suggests, as a leading charity calls for more attention to be paid to sexual abuse survivors who identify as male. Mankind UK said many men who had such experiences often felt unable to talk about them and often took decades to tell anyone what had happened to them. I didnt want to believe that it had happened. I wanted to deny that it had happened, said the playwright Patrick Sandford, who for a quarter of a century told no one about the abuse he suffered as a schoolboy. Sandford told the Guardian he spent decades fearing being stigmatised if he spoke out. There is this huge thing that if a man admits to having had some kind of sexual victimhood, that is seen as weak. He said he feared he would be labelled a potential abuser himself because of a myth that persists that many men who were abused as children go on to perpetuate that abuse. According to the research, carried out for Mankind and seen by the Guardian, 9% of people identifying as men said they had been raped or assaulted by penetration, 14% had been coerced or pressured into sexual activity and 21% had taken part in sexual activity with an adult while under the legal age of consent. This was revealed in a poll of more than 1,000 people carried out by Savanta ComRes on the charitys behalf. Mankind said referrals had increased by 95% since this time last year. Covid restrictions have meant that people cant access their usual sources of support and are reaching out for help which local services currently dont have the capacity to deliver, the charity said. The government is consulting on its strategy for dealing with violence against women and girls and Mankind has called for a national sexual crimes strategy that takes a more inclusive approach to meeting the needs of all victims of unwanted sexual experiences, its co-chief executive Lucy Hughes said. Sandford, whose play Groomed is available to watch on Soho Theatres website, said he felt more attention and provision needed to be given to male survivors of sexual abuse, though he stressed that should not come at the expense of female survivors, who should also be given greater support. Im not saying its worse for men. Im just saying its different. And its not a competition. These figures are very shocking. But, if those figures were half as big, its still terrible. Any child or man being abused should not happen. And the same is true of women. Mankind plans to contribute to the governments consultation process and hopes to secure funding to continue its research into the prevalence of sexual violence against males. It set up a website, 1in6.uk, in December 2020 to offer male survivors self-help resources and information, as well as a route to access further support. It encouraged anyone affected by the issue to visit the site. Savanta ComRes interviewed 1,011 UK male adults aged 18 or older online from 5 to 7 February 2021. It said 1,174 men were asked if they were happy to answer the question, with 163 declining and the rest answering. The data was weighted to be representative of population by age, region and social grade. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/feb/16/half-men-unwanted-sexual-experiences-uk-study-mankind Emphasis mine cause the bolded part is bullshit that needs to fuck off --- teep dumb as f*** fr - BatmanVonDoom I'm gonna pound a 400 lb woman just to prove teep wrong - NigerianKnight <cite>teep_ posted [p:950735848] in 50% of men...

When I was a kid my older cousin would constantly grab and pinch my gross man boobs until they hurt since I was a chunky kid.

Perascamin 02/20/21 3:21:49 PM #41:	Anyways when I was 9 years old I had a friend who was 11, much stronger than me, and he pressured me into kissing him/dry humping me. We remained friends briefly after that day, but I made it clear I didn't want any of that kind of stuff to ever happen again. I view it as a very embarrassing story and I've never told anyone in real life. Apparently he went on to be really creepy like that with some of the other people we mutually knew. It's not something that I even view as a traumatic experience and I guess with a lot of the things in my life the thing that always bothered me is my lack of a concern factor/lack of being angry that x thing happened to me. Aren't experiences like that supposed to be something you think about years later and like, break down over? I always tell people I'm well adjusted because "traumatic" experiences never seem to have a lasting effect on me. I'm not jaded towards the world and I believe in the best of the people to this day and I'm a pleasant person to be around( I don't complain very much, keep up a positive energy pretty much at all times) Anyone who would have insight on this (even if its just armchair psychology) would be....appreciated/interesting. --- I've grown. <cite>Perascamin posted [p:950879035] in 50% of men...

Perascamin 02/20/21 3:53:36 PM #44:	Drrobotniks posted... Also said it wasn't a big deal unless the gender roles were swapped, kinda yikes What I had said is that people don't care because its an older woman with a much younger boy. Our cultures across the world clearly view boys as being capable of handling a man's world from the time they can do any physical labor while the same cultures also view girls as fragile, weak, and "flowers" for as long as possible. (The age of consent laws in Mississippi come to mind). It is very much a new thing in the past ~15 years that some sects of society have started to protect boy's innocence. Many people from the US come from European descent where we know that for hundreds/thousands of years their societies were set in such a way that: -Boys were put to work as young as 5, and thus entering their time as a "man". -Girls worked too, but were more sheltered as "pieces" that could be traded in marriages and then their only expected role was to be a baby factory and mother It's been thousands of years and the way our lives are lived are relatively unchanged: -Boys are expected to man up and face the world -Girls are largely expected to be mothers, caregivers, and have their life basically chosen for them How does this all play back into today? People don't care about Boys experiencing sexual trauma because their feelings don't matter People care a lot about what happens to girls because God forbid they're sexually assaulted they're viewed as "dirty/tainted" or "damaged/not valuable". But even in spite of these general ideas, barely any of the rape kits that are submitted lead to a conviction because people in power are disgusting and wish to protect their world view. --- I've grown. <cite>Perascamin posted [p:950880007] in 50% of men...
