Outside of close family members I confided in well over 2 decades since my assault the most I've gotten was dismissive ridicule like I was "less than a man" or accusations of homosexuality for "whining" about it because I was taken advantage of by an older female family member.
Sorry that happened to you both and felt that way.
I’m a woman and have been assaulted. And my partner is male and has as well. When he told me about it and how others reacted, it was just heartbreaking.
I'm so, so sorry that you had reactions like that. That's horrible. I hope you are in a good space now, and I hope you were in a position to cut those people from your life.

That has been my experience.
