I'm currently making a Part 2 to this post. There are a lot more sources on this, it's just going to take a bit of time to dig them up.

I'm thinking about making a long series of posts on this topic, but we'll see. Most people in the MRM only know about the NISVS and don't know that there are a huge number of other studies out there which support the idea of gender parity. They also feel as if men are equally as traumatised by sexual abuse and assault as women are (which is correct) but don't have a lot of stats to support that when their opinion is challenged.

It's important that we arm ourselves with a lot of data about this because by taking the stance of gender parity in sexual abuse and assault we are taking a very, very counter-narrative stance and are essentially going up against huge bodies which continue to promote the idea that sexual assault is a significantly gendered issue. Trying to convince people that it's not gendered, or at the very least, not as gendered as people think it is, is going to be like pushing a boulder up a hill.

Nice. I'll probably crosspost that again if you don't.

Btw I ran into this source earlier today about harm:

"Review on female sexual offenders: Findings about profile and personality"

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160252711000197

And this one about people believing men when they come forward:

"Maternal sexual abuse of males"

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/(SICI)1099-0852(199705)6:2<107::AID-CAR301>3.0.CO;2-I

You might already have those I just figured I'd share.

They came out of this article which was a little lackluster but still had some good sources:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/protecting-children-sexual-abuse/202008/dispelling-the-myths-female-perpetrated-sexual-abuse

I think it was originally written from the perspective of child sexual abuse because she spends a long time talking about that but it's not immediately obvious from the title. I say that because she generalized some stats to adult victims in a way that seems kind of questionable.
