Even in places like DU youre likely to be told you're derailing the discussion away from sexual asault on women if you bring up anything regarding not just the sexual abuse of boys and men, but the shame culture around it. Or bring up the idea that women can, and do, rape men.

Sexual assault against men, outside of the disgusting and tasteless prison rape jokes, is almost invisible.
