Excerpt from my presentation on Male Survivors of Sexual Violence: My Story and How to Help (1 CEU hour):
- Tend to wait longer than female survivors to seek help.
- May fear being judged as “weak”.
- Likely to believe they can “shake it off”.
- Often experience gender-based victim-shaming, despite myths to the contrary.
- Sometimes denied care or incompetently referred to offender oriented services.
