A 33 year old man from Portugal reached out to me via email some days ago because he felt from my previous post I expressed all the complex things he had felt in just a handful of sentences. This man was abused from childhood to teenage several times by his elder sister’s friend and this has demoralized him as an adult he tried speaking up about it some years ago to some friends and family no one believed him, he was told straight without a smidgen of sympathy that it would have been easier believed if it were one of his sisters who shared such experience, well like thousands of men out there with same experience that was the time he figured out some gender complex matter

Statistic has shown that 3 out of every 5 man have been sexually abused by an adult while growing up. Men go through this abuse as much as women, but, there is no law in place to protect or encourage them to speak up, and for the few who tried speaking up they are not believed, and their story jettisoned

Over the decades there have been different variation of abuse ranging from verbal, emotional, psychological, and physical violence inflicted on men from childhood by their caregivers and friends some months ago there was a story on some blogs of a young man who came out to share his story of how he was molested while growing up by a close relative of his, but like hundreds of men with same experience his story was discredited by the society

When it comes to issue relating to sexual assault and harassment there is zero balance because a larger population of the world tend to be objective by favoring the woman. Men go through a lot of abuse from childhood to adulthood without speaking up. I stated in a post awhile ago about how these men bottle up things because they have been taught from childhood not to speak since it’s seen as weakness

The sickening thing is that there are thousands of social intervention groups to protect women from men, but none fighting for the protection of men
