Most Molested Boys Don’t Molest Others as Adults

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A “cycle” of child sexual abuse seems to exist for only a minority of male victims, but not at all for female victims, British researchers report.

Accompanying myths destroyed:

“Homosexual men and transvestites were significantly less likely to be perpetrators than heterosexual men and men who were not transvestites.”

Boy, lets please not dig any deeper… we may even find men who actually suffered as a result of abuse and molestation as children. Not the slavering sex maniacs that we have been trained to expect. This domain has been the exclusive territory of women and girls for uncountable years. There is no sympathy for boys, just repulsion and a permanent scar cast by societal expectations. Much like the scarlet letter. Boys are expected to “suck it up” and “walk it off.”

The article concludes by saying, “…the real challenge for society is to develop treatment programs that are then evaluated by long-term follow-up.”

Imagine that. Treatment for men who were sexually abused as children. Let’s see here, go to google and try different combinations of search terms. “Child sexual abuse men” vs. “Child sexual abuse women” The result, women always win.
