Calls for additional dedicated support services for male sex assault victims as more reach out for help - ABC News

The ABC does occasionally do something good for MR and this is one of those.

A shame about the "of course" here, from Craig Hughes-Cashmore co-founded the Survivors and Mates Support Network:

"A lot of guys also have confusion around sexuality, particularly if they had a male perpetrator, which of course most of us do," he said.

Checking the stats it does seem heavily skewed everywhere with typically only 10% or less of child sexual abuse perpetrators being female. But even if there's no under-reporting of female perpetrators which we might expect for a range of reasons, use of "of course" carries the implication that we should expect males to abuse.

This call lines cannot be staffed by feminists in the first place.
