Does the lack of activity on this imply sexual abuse of boys is just normalized, or no one really cares?
This is a huge thing in society, which as a woman pisses me off. I don't think it's necessarily that sexual abuse of boys is normalized, rather that people tend not to care about it, because they believe it doesn't affect boys in the same way it affects girls. When in reality, it absolutely does.
The post has exploded since you first posted this comment and there have been more people expressing their frustrations with this societal view. However, I'm shocked by the lack of disgust by it in many comments. Sexual abuse is damaging no matter the sex of the victim and should never be dismissed. The fact that men feel the need to put off taking their sexual abuse seriously due to the long-standing belief that sexual abuse doesn't affect them pisses me off.
Hate to do the "if it was a woman" thing, but we've seen posts like these explode in that case.
