I'm so proud of my friend for helping set up this event to talk about male sexual assault survivors.

Awesome!

My comment:

Thank you for discussing this important issue.

It would have been helpful if the article also mentioned the real fear of men and boys who are victims of being discriminated against by taxpayer funded service providers who are supposed to help them as victims. There is a documented pattern of harassment and discrimination against some male victims at some service providers.

Please be aware that under VAWA, especially with the expanded non-discrimination wording of the 2013 reauthorization, but always in the past also, male survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence are entitled to services on a non-discriminatory basis.

I urge any man or boy who is a victim in need of help to call the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1−800−799−7233 or to contact the Michigan Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence at (517) 347-7000 or online at mcedsv.org.

If any man or boy faces discrimination, I urge him to document it, file a complaint with the US Department of Justice Office of Civil Rights, and obtain the services of a lawyer.

More information is available online at the reddit Men's Rights FAQ.
