This one is kind of weird for me. As a guy who has been raped by a woman, I feel like I should say, "me too." Unfortunately, I think this would go over horribly because it takes up space and dilutes the message.

It doesn't bother me though. This, like many posts, articles, studies, etc. are for women and by women and serve a really healthy purpose through dialogue. I am 100% certain that these issues affect women disproportionately to men.

I do think, to some extent, severity is important to the discussion of rape and sexual assault. This chain message is kind of tone def towards that. It's kind of like discussing mental health issues. It's important that we speak openly about depression, but depression is kind of fashionable in a way and everyone talking about their depression inhibits the understanding of people with severe clinical depression.

Some people can eat healthy, exercise, medicate and get back up and go. Others are completely damaged and teeter on the edge of suicide daily. It's a lot different. It's not about invalidating the suffering of people, but rather the need to highlight how common the occurrences of violent rape and molestation are.

Overall, I think "me too" is a good thing. We're here talking about the nuances of it so....good job?
