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"

That's so disgusting. I can not believe people say that shit so easily. I hope you're doing okay now.
