Re: Need help to support my husband

TJake -
I am having a difficult time reigning myself in from really telling you how inappropriate your response to this person is.

Rape is not "sexual experimentation" between young people. Sexual experimentation is CONSENSUAL. Rape is NON-CONSENSUAL. Do you see the difference?

If this man had gay sex as a young man, that would be a completely different discussion. That is NOT what happened. According to his wife, he was 10 years old and was raped by a 15 year old. We don't have to know the details to know that people don't make this kind of thing up. Your suggesting that he should just "get over it" is so wrong headed, I decided to read your other posts on this forum.

In all your other posts, you continually minimize the circumstances around the rape/abuse. It makes me wonder -- have you been involved in a sexual assault? Do you carry around some guilt or shame, and feel compelled to minimize everyone else's experiences, in order to feel OK about yourself?

Please educate yourself about sexual assault and rape, before you start giving "advice" to people. Your notions are very incorrect. Tweet
