Male Victims of Sexual Assault Outnumber Female Ones
September 12, 2014
In the military. According to a GQ story, “male victims of sexual assault outnumber female ones.” Some male soldiers were victimized twice: once by a fellow soldier and then they were “victimized again by a military system that all too frequently sees sexual assault as a problem to be covered up rather than a crime to be punished.”
The military is full of sexual predators who will prey on men or women. Is this not reason enough to stay out of the military and to keep your kids out of it? How many more reasons do you need? Isn’t this enough?
