Another one is psychological pressure: the woman or man may threaten to him by telling him "I'll tell everyone that you are gay."

  • A woman took advantage of me last month when I had too much to drink I said no but she didn't stop, I went to the police but they laughed and refused to press charges then gave me a warning for wasting police time, when I told my girlfriend she called me a cheat and dumped me, my friends and family say it was my fault for drinking too much.

  • The only people who wouldn't take male victims of abuse seriously are feminists and stupid men who think men can't be sexually abused. I was raped by two women and no one believes it 😣

  • Men are disposable. No your place in society. Your purpose is to serve and keep women happy.

    • The sarcasm is strong in this one.

    • good luck with that

  • I'm not optimistic there will be any change any time soon.

  • If only sexual abuse of males had as much exposure as sexual abuse of females. Its just as serious despite the fact they can't get pregnant - which was a good point.
    Sexual abuse of anyone is wrong and should not be disregarded no matter the gender or age.

  • That this sham of a concept called 'feminism' would not be taken seriously. And then maybe we could open our eyes instead of whining about 'manspreading' and other such ridiculous concepts we have made up.

    • Yes, feminism is a form of bigotry. Feminism is one of the main reasons why men's rights aren't taken seriously. I forgot to mention it in this take.

    • I am sorry I have to be anonymous in order to share this opinion. If you can imagine the lack of logic in it, I am doing it to protect myself from women who will attack my actual identity and 'womanness' if they see this. This is what it has come to. Women jumping at other women´s throats because they dare to be ok and happy with themselves and at peace with the world. And, last but not least, with men.
