Absolutely, I worked with vulnerable populations at a Cégep. Men have different struggles with sexual assault. In my experience they are believed less and victim are looked down upon more for being survivors of sexual assault. But men are (normally) lucky enough to understand they are being sexually assaulted when it happens for the first time.
My main concern with this comment was the normalization of inappropriate behaviours, in particular harmful language used around sexual assault. Women are absolutely targeted more and younger for these behaviours. My own daughter was on the receiving end of inappropriate sexual language as early as 4 months pregnant.
The fact that a person, a survivor of sexual assault themselves no less, was completely à l’aise avec this type of language highlights that this has been far too normalized.
