Re: RPresta
Boys face the very same grooming techniques from very similar abusers, and in some instances the shame and guilt is buried even deeper. You're right to bring it up, and it is, IMHO, part of the same issue. We haven't even broached the factors of social status, money and influence - which further disadvantage those without such support, no matter their gender.

Yes, that's why! Great post. Thank you. I feel speaking up transforms one from a victim to an empowered survivor.
And somewhere in my mind, I wonder if there might be a place for blue hats, I wouldn't know what to call them, for boys, who have also suffered from sick perps. But that's not the issue today.

It does appear that things have run rampant in the past even beyond one's imagination.
I think the lessons being learned might well curb the desire to exploit the vunerable.

There was an "uncle" like that in our family when I was little. Everyone knew it and no one did anything about it, all the females hated him. It was too long ago. No one did anything about it. He's been dead and gone for a long time and all the females still hate him.

We do seem to be headed towards more respect for womankind.
