S*xual Assault is not a joke! Yesterday, I stumbled on a piece of news about a s*xual assault that happened to a man. And it turns out that he is not the only victim. He is brave to speak up, I’m glad he did! This case should be investigated thoroughly, I am not sure if he is stating the truth or just for fame. But I don’t think he will ruin his name and career for this. Also, I somewhat agreed with the person who commented “*it’s better to believe in a lie, instead of supporting a potential rapist*”. This is not only happening to women! Men are also experiencing sexual assault. **Let’s not invalidate this traumatizing incident! This is not a joke!** Sadly, some are making fun of it and being insensitive to the point that they jokingly say, “*it’s okay you’re a man and nothing to lose*”, “*maybe he likes it too*” and many more nonsense comments. Why there are kinds of people like them? They are only good at laughing at others’ situations but not at sympathizing and supporting them. Tsk. Imagine you have a son, brother, or nephew and this happened to them or even to you, would you laugh too? Tsk. This is why most people who experience SA are afraid to speak up because of this scenario, getting laughed off, and so they are thinking no one will believe them. I have read a lot of confessions and stories that they experienced SA, and the worst is they tell it to the closest person they have but ended up being blamed and laughed off. Much worse, in some cases, the one who assaulted them is one of their trusted closest relatives or friends. The thought that they are the ones who will protect you is the ones who will do bad things to you. I may never experience SA but I know it is not easy to recover from this traumatic experience, it takes a lot of time. I just hope that they can fight and overcome it. As well as may have the courage to speak up and seek help. To whoever experienced this, put in your mind that it is not your fault, and it will never be. We should not laugh at someone’s situation, we will never know that someday we will end up in the same condition.

Yesss it's never the victims' fault 🥺
Yes its true, I do worry about my boys about SA. And true, not an easy trauma!
It's just sad that some people laugh off other people's troubles. Maybe they don't have a heart?
Ito ba Yung Kay Patrick? Grabe no. Parang dipadin ako makapaniwala now
Yes mommy yen. Hindi rin ako makapaniwala nung nakita ko
Kasi parehong manly tapos Ganon. Dimo din talaga masasabi
Parang nakita ko yang post na yan sa fb. Kaya nga ang sexual assault hindi lang babae ang victim at regardless din ng age, kahit baby or lola na eh may victims pa din. Haaaay world.
True. Grabe na talaga nangyayari sa mundooo
Un ung pinAkamasakit mismong trusted family member ang my kagagawan kya it really is mentally devastating. We pray na whoever had gone through it will overcome the traumatic experience
Sa totoo po. Yes, let's pray for them.
Yung kay Rhys at Patrick issue po ba ito? Pero agree po ako hindi lang po talaga sa girls nangyayari yung sexual assault kundi sa mga boys din po, akala lang po talaga ng iba porket lalaki eh hindi na po nababastos.
Oo yan nga. Tapos ginagawang katatawanan pa. Tsk.
Assault to any one, any gender is not acceptable. It's not a laughing matter and should not be dismissed easily. You don't know the effect of that especially mentally until it's too late.
Indeed, being unstable mentally can also trigger the victim to suicide.
Walang pinipili ang rapist kahit matanda o bata,lalaki man o babae.sila mga salot sa lipunan na hanggang ngayon lalo pang dumadami.ingatan at protektahan ang isat isa
Kaya nga po grabe na talaga, nagkalat mga masasamang tao
Also read this news, Ate. And, goshhh! Bet ko pa naman sana 'yung guy ay. Gwapo tapos ang talented then out of nowhere, may mababasa ako na accusations about him. But I'm more concerned sa guy na victim daw n'ya ~ 'di na bago 'yung man who violates another man but still, many do make it as a joke pa din na kesyo lalaki naman daw. In short, walang sympathy. Tapos kapag girl naman, more on victim blaming. Like, ano ba talagaaaa? Ang hirap spellingin ng utak ng ibang tao. 🙇🏻♀️
Trueee. Ampogi tas singer pa hays. Ewan talaga sa mga taong makikitid mag-isip, kung ano lang gustong sabihin e.
Karamihan pa sa kanila, Ate is nakiki-go with the flow lang. Masabi lang na updated sa trending showbiz issues.
Nabasa ko tong news dzi. Grabe di ako makapaniwala. Napaka toxic talaga dzi kaya minsan ayaw ko magbasa ng mga comments kasi yung iba grabe yung mga comments, hindi nakakatawa tas ginagawa pang joke.
Same here, Ramona. Hindi na nga siguro mawawala sa mundo yung mga ganong tao hays
Oo dzi totoo. Napaka toxic talaga.
It's so sad about how some people make fun of sexual assaults. It annoys me. I have never been sexually assaulted before but I know people who do. It's a pain that they can never forget.
Agree. It seems they hunt by that experience.
Di ko nkita eto bunsoy. Wawa nmn yung guy at di porket lalaki eh okay lng ah. Kababuyan pa din yun.
Kaya nga po ate e kaloka hays
