It even shows up when people either erase or dismiss male survivors with implications that being raped makes them feminine and weak and less of a man—you realize those jibes are based in misogyny, right?
The law protects abusers, especially abusers of women and girlshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/larry-nassar-prison-bank-account/2021/07/28/abdf6560-ee14-11eb-bf80-e3877d9c5f06_story.html …
He’s so awful. Amazing he’s made it this far without imploding.
