Has anyone ever heard of a straight male rape victim who was accused re. his behaviour, dress, situation etc? #RapeCulture #1BillionRising

@GeorgieBC ...that it was my fault for accepting a drink from a stranger, that I was weak for "letting" myself get raped and...

@GeorgieBC This is advice blogger, Cristina Robinson, informing me how I couldn't get raped because I had an erection - jameslandrith.com/content/view/3…

@jlandrith Even torture victims can get erections when raped, used to add to the humiliation. The male parallel to women can't get pregnant.

@GeorgieBC This was a recent response I had to some harsh victim-blaming and mockery after my HuffPost Live interview: jameslandrith.com/content/view/3…

@jlandrith No problem, understood. It is really important that we get over group affiliation and just condemn the action, regardless.

@jlandrith And the "are you ever lucky" that even teenage boys have to deal with as well. Very much part of rape culture that men 'want it'.

@jlandrith @georgiebc hopefully you'll get through this and emerge a stronger man to help others, one day at a time and try to stay strong.

@jlandrith It is not nearly as uncommon as people think, most assume that men are always raped by men but your situation is common.
GeorgieBCHeather Marsh
@jlandrith It is just rarely called rape ... even when the boy is a teenager. Do you find there are any support groups available?
GeorgieBCHeather Marsh
@jlandrith The men I know (mostly raped by men) are not willing to look for help and it is certainly not easy to find, if it exists.

@jlandrith And no one is willing to consider their triggers, ie raped men in prisons subjected to cavity searches by men. No discussion.
