But if it was a boy raped by a priest or a Little League coach, and he waited 30 years to tell anyone — nobody doubts him, because a man would just never make up such a thing. Of course it happened, he’s a hero for finally speaking up, and shame on the rest of us for being a society that made him feel compelled to stay quiet for so long.

About 3% of American men—or 1 in 33—have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime.
1 out of every 10 rape victims are male.
