Re: So.....

[nyxelestia]

Well, the fact that it bothers you is a start.

I'm not surprised, though - society and popular media has consistently and repeatedly played male victims of abuse and rape as comedic.

But that's often attached to a specific portrayal, one that tends to veer towards the unrealistic. But as kallanda_lee put it, if you were dealing with an actual abuse victim in real life with actual injuries and trauma, you would probably be at least sympathetic, regardless of their gender, by virtue of interacting with, well, a non-comedic version of this dynamic.

I think the fact that knowing this potential attitude about yourself is, alone, proof that if/when you run into male victims in real life, probably you'll find yourself far more sympathetic to them than you currently expect.
