Terry Crews stops by /r/CrewsCrew to thank them for their support. Glad to see some people on reddit taking the assault of men seriously.

To offer a different perspective, the fact that Crews is so highly respected and was willing to come out with this is a huge victory for both men and women. He validated that women aren’t taken seriously when reporting and the reasons they don’t. Some women had a similar takeaway as you, that it took a man saying this for anyone to listen. I personally am just extremely grateful that he did it. For men I think the message was even more impactful - if a trusted and loved actor who also happens to be huge and clearly capable of physically defending himself comes out and says “this happens to men too, it happened to me” — that is really powerful. I think he did a selfless thing in speaking out about the power dynamics that exist and victimize women and men, and hopefully this conversation will make a difference in how other victims are treated.
