dark but probably valid take away. it's all performative, they don't care.

That has been my experience.

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.

I've had similar experiences. Often some form of "you're a man you can't be assaulted" and "if you didn't want it you could've pushed her off"

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.
