Interview

 asked people what their views are / opinion are of sexual assault / abuse that happens to men. 

M, Fletcher Prescott,18. Happens more often than you would think, but due to the modern social norms is usually not reported by the individual on the receiving end due to stigma of it making them less masculine. 

M, Sam Sitch,18.  Had pretty much the same thing in my head. It’s an absolute pisstake when its confirmed and nothing happens because men must “suck it up” 

F, North, 18. My opinion is its not as recognized among people as it should be, I think its horrendous that people think women and men should be treated differently based on certain circumstances as time goes on people have been striving for gender equality.  

I think it should be spoken about more, there are multiple cases in which women are let off too easily for situations that if the roles were reversed and the man was abusive its end up with life changing punishment to fit the crime. 

Both men and women can abuse a person mentally or physically, wether it be hitting them, degrading or alienating them in society.  

It’s just a shame that people can be ignorant when it comes to things they think as abnormal. 

F, Angela Higham, 59. My views on sexual assault are it’s the worst act of violence you can do to someone else, either male or female. What happens to men is just as bad as if its a woman, no different.
