Male on Male Rape

By Deborah Schurman-Kauflin, Ph.D. on January 16, 2012 in Disturbed

You may think your life is over, but it isn't if you don't want it to be. This is what I told a young man who had been raped by another man. After dropping off his girlfriend, he walked home along the same street he had passed his whole life. Never once did he think he could be attacked. He's a big guy, almost six feet tall and in his early twenties. Read More

Don't hold your breath

Considering it has taken the FBI up until a few weeks ago to consider male on male penetration against someone's consent as rape don't think that the hoards of male victims are going to start reporting the attacks.

The US is stuck permanently in the dark ages.

Infamy is highly overated! You can have my Jr. Sheriff badge but I won't surrender the Nike running shoes! They have WINGS! Today, I'm Icarus AND Mercury.

"Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. As such, it circles the sun faster than all the other planets, which is why Romans named it after the swift-footed messenger god Mercury.

P.S. That excerpt was NOT from Wikipedia (my favorite source.) Wikipedia is down today. "Depressed" doesn't do justice to how I feel about that. Otherwise...I am doing well and I hope you are too! XOXO

We must stop playing into to

We must stop playing into to the hands of the rapist , and open our doors to the many victims . What is has created a silence the rapist depends on in this . One a victims will suffer in . An effect or shall I say and after effect of what is not there when victim asks for help . Luggagee of thoughts of sex must be left at the door and rape must be seen for the crime it is . Thehorrendouss destructive physical and emotional crime . We must not keep this crime , not the victims an arms length away anymore . If so, we are as the rapist, walking away . A prison the victim then has to live in alone . Doesn'tt seem right does it .
Education must begin not only with the police , medical facilities , etc . In this with hope someone will hear the silence of those that need to be heard and not the roar or the rapist anymore .
