A new study examines male sexual victimization by women in Britain. Many people dismiss or simply do not believe women can be abusive or violent against men. Often women attacking men are a subject of comedy or outright approval.
In the present sample, 71% of men experienced some form of sexual victimization by a woman at least once during their lifetime. Sexual victimization was significantly associated with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, conformity to masculine gender norms was not a significant moderator between victimization and mental disorders.
It always amazes me how difficult it is for people to put themselves in another's position. Such shallow thinking is perhaps the major reason for all the bad things which happen in our world.
