"The boy probably bragged about it" [View all]

I'm a male victim of child sexual assault. So some shit that gets said here just fucking destroys me.

Yes. The 12-year-old boy who was raped by his teacher probably did brag about it. I did too. I was nine. Guess what? It was still rape.

Sexually assaulting boys is not a fucking joke, and we need to stop making it a joke.

We also need to stop the sexual assault of girls, though they face much much different issues. But this is not an attempt to distract from that, either.

My experience differs. As a teen, I had sex with women over 21. I didn't consider it rape. Comrade Grumpy Aug 2015 #18
