Hmm!Been giving this some thought.

Ultimately though it is an assault..if it had been the other way round then everyone's attitudes would have been different..I'm sure we all agree with that.

And something I've learned has set me thinking how perhaps the reactions this man has gotten maybe will have made him regret reporting it.

The something is this.

The Stirling Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Centre was thrown out of the Rape Crisis Network for offering advice to men about such issues..this means they aren't receiving funding..and the reason given was that as the network was set up by women for women and is run by women and that if men want such a service then it is up to them to arrange their own.

So after observing the many reactions around the internet to this story I'm not surprised there is no such network set up by men..what male is ever going to expect to be taken seriously or sympathetically?

As to the refusal to allow counselling to men I'm ashamed of my own sex..I find it repugnant and hypocritical that they accept charity status and yet show no charity at all to their fellow men.
