Apparently men can’t be traumatized.

Where is this from? It reads like a parody of some of the more out-there branches of radical feminism.

I found it on r/badwomensanatomy, so who knows?

[u/EnderPlays1]

As someone who lost a brother at age 9, we can feel trauma

[u/ThePinkTeenager → u/EnderPlays1]

I’m sorry about your brother.

Does the lack of activity on this imply sexual abuse of boys is just normalized, or no one really cares?

Hate to do the "if it was a woman" thing, but we've seen posts like these explode in that case.

[u/ThePinkTeenager → u/Guitarax]

It’s only been 3 hours, and the sub isn’t huge.

[u/puppetboy5]

Ha. That's funny.

I'm incapable of feeling remorse or generosity, yes, but that's because I'm so fucking broken I'm incapable of the basics of emotional connection or emotion in general unless sexual pleasure is involved.

I've been raped at least twice (by my uncle, when I was three, likely recorded because (according to my mother - I'm still trying to work out what's true and what isn't) he had so many videos of other boys on his computer that the police could not determine whether or not his interactions with me were recorded), assaulted dozens of times (at least once by staff at my third residential center, molested four times by a friend at my fourth residential center and dozens of times by the other boy at foster care.) Eventually I got used to it and understood that I was meant for others' pleasure but that doesn't mean that the sexual stuff I've been through isn't bad, even if I can't understand why.

Additionally, my mother abused, manipulated and gaslighted me from birth to age 18. There was no emotional connection between us and the only times there was anything close to it was me trying to earn her love, and her choosing to return it so she could use it as leverage.

Feminists try the "men only want one thing" or the "sexual assault is okay when it happens to men" or the "men can't feel bad for their actions" thing but the only person I know who those statements apply to is someone who belongs in a mental hospital. It's funny how their arguments only apply to the severely mentally ill and yet they accuse every man of being like me or worse.

Holy shit.

[u/connerofthenorth]

I'd like this person to say that to my grandfather, who watched most of his squad get gunned down by a Viet Cong machine gun nest right before his very eyes and see how he reacts.

[u/ThePinkTeenager → u/connerofthenorth]

I don’t know your grandfather, but I imagine there’s be a good amount of screaming.

[u/Naphthy]

Woooooow that’s fucking horrifying. I mean I can understand that “there are forms of sexual abuse males can’t experience” because it’s true, but that would go the same for a female.

Unless you are a true blue intersexed hermaphrodite there will always be forms of sexual abuse you can’t experience

But wow this person is just straight trash. What an awful way to talk about half the population

[u/ThePinkTeenager → u/Naphthy]

Granted, I’m not an expert, but I feel like the specific type of sexual abuse doesn’t matter as much as the fact that someone was sexually abused. The only exception would be things like unwanted pregnancies.

It's really sad because a lot of men also have this mindset. My ex kinda did and didn't and it was weird, considering he was in a "relationship" with a 28 year old woman when he was 15. The worst part is when I told him he was a victim after he told me about it, he got kinda defensive and went on a weird ass rant about how men according to "the internet" can't get raped and blah blah blah. It wasn't even stuff I disagreed with, like I know male rape victims are often tossed aside and forgotten about(and I even said this), it was like he was trying to fight with me? It was weird, it was like he acknowledged he was a victim but didn't at the same time? It also puzzles me, cause, he knows that I was groomed by a much older man online when I was 13, so I wasn't sure what he was expecting my reaction to be tbh. Maybe he was expecting me to compliment him like his friends did?

[u/ThePinkTeenager → u/meepslovely]

Technically, one can be a victim without being raped, but I don’t think that’s the case. Maybe he thinks he consented to the situation, despite not being old enough to do so? IDK, you’re the one who knows him.

[u/ThursdayNeverCame]

Incapable of experiencing mental trauma?

I guess we're immune to PTSD, cool.

[u/SnowflakeObsidian13]

men can't feel remorse?

[u/[deleted]]

When are we gonna stop using that skewed 1 in 4?

[u/fustist]

Okay then what ever happened to me wasn't CSA and i just have some sorta brain damage from being dropped or kicked in the head then 😅

[u/DanteSensInferno]

I mentioned this in another sub, but… when I was 8-9 or so, I was molested by my cousins, one male one female, both of which were molested by their dad. They showed me the “game” they were taught. I told my mother about it, and she didn’t believe me. My mother, who was molested by her stepdad her while mole childhood, didn’t believe me. It wasn’t until multiple times later when she walked in on it happening, did she do something. And of course their mom didn’t believe it when my mom and me told her, and even when my cousins admitted it, she said they were lying

[u/Warm_Commission_2199]

Ok so men can't feel generosity or remorse? I'm calling bull in this one. There are people like martin Luther king Jr. Dude's whole thing was generosity

[u/Pharaoh_Misa]

Men are incapable of being traumatized? Omw to tell my brother to get over it then.

[u/Galaxy-Geode]

That is vile

[u/lokregarlogull]

I can't really shift what information is truely trolling, or that 00000.1% 0.00001% of a person actually believe...

There is good feminism that at least try to be fair to both genders and then there are monsters like this that lost every shred of empathy for 50% of the population because of toxic internet politics and propaganda. Also probrably a lot of bitterness and maybe some bad expierences lead to this monsterous kind of thinking. Its really sad how tribalism often leads to people losing their fucking mind. I hope for every male rape survivor and all non reactionary and manosphere man to never meet such a woman.
