Me: Do you ask him to stop?

GuyFriend: NO! He’ll fucking rape me!I don’t want-…
Me: *wait for it*
GuyFriend: So wait I can be sexually abused and raped.

If a victim decides to tell anyone about their assault, often the first person they confide in is a family or friend. The reaction they get has deep implications for their healing process and if they decide to seek justice. If you are their first person, what will your reaction be? Start by believing.

We need some photos like this for Men too.

All genders have to face this and awareness needs to be out there.
