Hey r/mensrights. The past couple of days have been extremely stressful for me and I'm not too sure where to turn to. I'm going to write out the story of what happened to me the other night at an event sanctioned by my college where I feel I was harassed both physically and emotionally. Here I go.
Last night my college held a pride week event that was meant to show students that it's ok to be of a part of an alternative lifestyle. I was super stoked for the idea, and I decided to go. The event was a drag show that was hosted by a real drag queen and it was supposed to be a lot of fun. There were going to be student performers (somewhat censored acts I believe; not like a REAL drag show), but the real drag queen went first.
During her opening act, the drag queen went into the audience and pretty much made men in the audience motor boat her. Most of them didn't have a problem with it, but when she came to me I wasn't ok. I was voicing her to stop and everything, but she proceeded to straddle me and smooshed my face so far into her breasts that I almost lost consciousness.
After this, she pointed me out to the whole audience and said "Honey you have a small ass dick" and all of my peers started laughing at me. I was singled out and laughed at, in public, by at least 300 students (which is a large portion of the student body when the college has only around 2.5k students). I knew it was a joke, but she started calling me little dick at least several times (I think 6 to be exact). At her last comment, I proceeded to leave the auditorium in tears.
The next day, I saw on our school's facebook confessions page (a page where students submit anonymous confessions about others or just random comments) that someone called me some really horrible names. They said that I was the most disrespectful person ever because I left the auditorium and disrespected the LBGTQ community. They called me pathetic and a horrible excuse of a person. But it reality I left because I was being bullied, and not to mention basically sexually harassed/assaulted.
That's the premise of the story, but my real concern is that I legitimately feel that I was sexauly assaulted the other night and I have no idea how to go about it because I am a man.
I'm really lost, and any/all advice would definitely be extremely appreciated.
