interesting.

Sexual abuse. Sexual abuse was endemic in boys’ institutions. The schools investigated revealed a substantial level of sexual abuse of boys in care that extended over a range from improper touching and fondling to rape with violence. Perpetrators of abuse were able to operate undetected for long periods at the core of institutions. When confronted with evidence of sexual abuse, the response of the religious authorities was to transfer the offender to another location where, in many instances, he was free to abuse again. The safety of children in general was not a consideration. The situation in girls’ institutions was different. Although girls were subjected to predatory sexual abuse by male employees or visitors or in outside placements, sexual abuse was not systemic in girls’ schools.

I suspect part of it was the societal pressures that taught men and boys that to admit to needing help or being powerless meant that you had no worth. The predators probably saw this and capitalized on this.

A young girl crying rape/molestation, or even being hinted at would immediately be believed, it would be investigates, and the repercussions would be swift. Women and girls have always been a protected class.

Men and boys were flanked on both sides. Society wouldn't believe or peruse the accusations, and they themselves feared being seen as inferior/lesser beings.

Predators in the wild don't hunt the strongest healthiest possible target, the pick off the weakest most vulnerable.

In short, the predators picked on the most vulnerable. -Ironically, boys, despite what feminism would tell you.
