Evening cup of Earl Grey in my @randolphcollege.bsky.social mug. I picked that mug up when I provided the keynote on 10/14/2009 for Take Back the Night. @lawandordersvu.bsky.social is on in the background because of course it is...

Starting in 2008, I first started talking about my experience as a survivor of a female predator. I switched from national activism to volunteer advocacy to paid advocacy as a career. Incompetent, derailing online activists do so much real-world harm to survivors looking for help and community.

This section on my life as a male survivor of a female serial rapist is here:

The dogwhistle has been audible and obvious for several years.

A contrast in competence and compassion. Today, ya'lls white supremacist leader blamed "DEI" for the plane crash near DCA.

A new book in my digital library. Something to read next week while I am TAD to Camp Lejeune.

The same female attorney who defended Dr. Larry Nassar, the gymnastics physician who molested and sexually assaulted several women Olympic gymnasts among over 250 other victims, co-opted my own rape experience in order to solicit business from female sex offenders.

Whenever there is an allegation of sexual violence in the media, the trolls and rape apologists start telling on themselves by questioning EVERYTHING about a victim. I should know. I told my story to millions via CNN, PBS, HuffPost Live, etc. I promise, you know someone who has experienced it too.

Condescension, smug dismissals and being talked down to are common experiences for male survivors - even within allegedly "woke" sexual violence advocacy.

Some of you don't even know this is you. Make no mistake, every time there is a major story about sexual violence - we see you. Clearly. #metoo #malesurvivors #metoomovement

Originally posted in 2020 on Twitter: I've talked a bit about female skeptics demanding that I answer questions on my rape. They ask about:

My erection and her vagina.
Did she and I orgasm.
"How" did she rape me.

Some of the more annoying things about being a male survivor of a female rapist in the public eye.

I shared this one in 2020, after over a decade of work in sexual violence advocacy.

Sexual Grieving and Healing: For SAAPM 2020, I talked about not knowing where to start. No one knows where to start. If you did things then you wouldn't do now, forgive yourself. #metoo #malesurvivors

Insisting that survivors conform their terminology to match antiquated legal definitions is a form of silencing. You are enabling perpetrators. STOP. #MeToo #MaleSurvivors

As a male survivor, I am constantly lectured by alleged allies on how easy I have it because non one asks "what were you wearing."

A common way survivors are shamed is by focusing on their body's response to sexual violence.

I reject your cries for civility. Why?

It always comes with additional features that I never ordered and cannot turn off, such as: denial, gaslighting, historical revisionism, "my opinion equals your facts", and of course, casual racism.

No fucking thank you.

One unfortunate side effect of major media coverage are trolls, haters and stalkers. My story on CNN quickly attracted several thousand negative comments. Like most major media organizations, CNN took zero responsibility for the behavior of commenters.

When people learned that my rapist was a woman, scum told me that I "owed" my rapist compassion because she "must've been abused herself". They are sooooo opposed to accepting that women can rape that they decided to manufacture a tragic backstory ... for a rapist. #MeToo #malesurvivors

Periodic reminder that "ironic" victim-shaming is still victim-shaming. Survivors see the things you post about them. Being raped was one of my earliest experiences with sexual contact. If I was a "whore" as I was accused of being by Alice, it was afterward as a trauma response.

As a male survivor of a female rapist, female skeptics have asked me invasive questions.

No, they are not “trying to understand”. The questions are meant as a pre-emptive “gotcha”. They are meant to teach me that it was my fault. They are a form of victim-shaming.

I say this with love as an experienced civil liberties activist since the early 1990s AND an advocate with thousands of hours of victim facing advocacy work:

Activism can move mountains & effect great change. It is not generally trauma-informed and often toxic to some survivors.

Excerpt from my presentation on Male Survivors of Sexual Violence: My Story and How to Help (1 CEU hour):

The woman who raped me didn’t say much beyond warnings and veiled threats. This is a sample of what I heard during and after the rape.
