RE: Sept 24 - Steemit Ramble - Notes on My Favourite Reads
Hey, thanks for the shout out. I definitely agree it happens to males I just don't have that perspective to give as I am a female victim. In sexual assault it is more often males perpetrating but in domestic violence it is actually more often female aggressors and yet males get no sympathy/support. That may be something I post about as it does upset me. Thanks for the perspective. :)
I realized where you were coming from @lauralemons. My comments were more an aside than any inference you left anything out.
Okay, I do agree it is something not talked about a lot. Also young boys get molested a lot actually just like young girls and I think are even less likely to come forward. :( I imagine a boy/guy would feel more pressure to stay quiet.
It's a tragedy when either gender is assaulted ... it's also a tragedy that the system assaults them again whether it is the courts, social services or individuals doing so.
