Male Sexual Abuse Isn't Funny | August 1, 2018 Act 2 | Full Frontal on TBS

In this #MeToo moment, we wanted to acknowledge that #MenToo can be victims of sexual assault, and it's really not funny. Don't just take it from us, take it from Terry Crews.

My brother was assaulted and the school didn’t even expell his abuser and the law brushed off his case and his friends who were also victims

Nerdy Jeremy because our justice system is based off the ideology “innocent until proven guilty.” But you’re right in a way. There are plenty of police officers, judges, and juries who choose to believe the accused over the victim simply because they think they understand what is and what isn’t wrong.

And yet when the accusation is the other way around, one word is enough

[@kilroy6429]

Nerdy Jeremy this is clearly dripping with sarcasm, so I’ll explain. The report of a crime taking place is what begins the investigation. Without that, there is no way to know a crime like this may have taken place. It’s not a condemnation, it’s a search for someone to incarcerate.

He made that movie early in his career, 16 years ago. He's older, wiser, and more importantly in that industry more established making it easier to pick and choose between roles so do you think he would take on the same role now given the opportunity? I wouldn't bet on it. He also is a Polaris Ambassador, just FYI - polarisproject.org/profile/terry-crews. Also, just stop being ridiculous, it was a movie role not real life so it should be beyond easy to forgive him for playing such a role. Stop trying to discredit him and his story.

[@sandpiperr]

Actually, he told people he was assaulted as a grown man and yet, even though he was a full grown and very physically intimidating man, still felt he couldn't say anything because his abuser was a powerful person in his field who could ruin his career, plus, as black man, he didn't think he'd be believed if he defended himself physically.

If you can talk about depression and mental health issues, suicide, and how closely this correlates to domestic violence against women and young children, that would be an awesome topic.

Hi there sunshine it's women too. You can't say that you haven't thought about your abuser having the same thing done to them in prison. I have. I'll admit it, revenge sounds beautiful at times. It doesn't solve anything, and for the people who have been victims, they're going through the same thing. I don't want that for anyone. In the end it doesn't solve anything. It just continues the line of abuse. We still laugh about it and joke about it though, then get uncomfortable when it starts connecting to us, both men and women.

[@erinb1471]

It is a thing and deserves discussion. However, it is unfortunately common for it to be used to disrupt discussions of women's experiences.

[@themanknownaslfcj2788]

Amazing! THANK YOU! Someone has finally bought up this subject. For SO SO Long this has been ignored/overlooked/mocked and we focus so much on men being the suspect. Realise that Men sometimes are the victim!!! And that their case should be taken seriously. Not mocked or ridiculed and not ignored

[@bekimveliu1036]

TRUE BC WE ARE ALSO VICTIMS

[@savannahrosedigitalillustr1946]

haha "you dont have to do jokes about assault to be funny" *sticks bee filled pie in someones face* HAHAHAHA!

[@o_o-lj1ym]

The fact that we have to be told it isn’t funny, says it all

I've also had female coworkers giving me weird looks and whistling and making comments. I go to the gym and it shows through my regular clothes and they think that it means I want that kind of inappropriate attention.

[@sofiafernandes9]

After reading some comments... I'm curious about a line of reasoning I've noticed. A few here are saying they support this message, but it's important to know they don't like Samantha and think she's unfunny. Is that really the point some people want to make in this video? Well... what a sad display of priorities. I'm glad they got Terry to do this. He was the perfect guy.

[@canned_doughnuts_5222]

wait.... youtube would put this on trending?!?!?!

[@yeetonemhaterznumber1dabbe175]

canned_ doughnuts_ at least it's about male troubles instead of feminist propaganda

[@ewenk7]

You realize this _is_ a feminist issue, right? Legit masculism is a synonym of feminism.

[@zarao2199]

I am a girl and I'm actually tired of the feminist trending its good for a change

[@VincenzoInfi]

ewenk7 deluded i see. No, it's not. Feminists don't care about men whatsoever and never will.

[@yeetonemhaterznumber1dabbe175]

Sean Webster That is true they only care about sexist ac

[@db1416]

i think everything should be able to be subject to satirization and general jokes,but not to the point where we undermine the people who suffer from it.hope im making sense,because dark jokes are kinda my thing

[@pointlesscine]

"False accusations are as rare as a fun bachelorette party" Yeah... no.

[@candacecasey5634]

Yeah umm that's actually too generous an estimate

[@NertardXD]

Anyone else looking through this comment section who was sexually assaulted and because of constant male stereotypes, was systematically taught to hide all emotion towards it and keep every feeling of the control lost in that moment locked away inside them, not ever to let it out? All these guys nowadays unable to lock their emotions away SMH.

[@Pistolita221]

Samuel Robins yeah.

[@clancywiggum56]

Samuel Robins men "hiding" emotions isn't a thing, men are less emotional and handle their emotions different to women. You think men should handle things in a feminine way rather than handle themselves their own way which is sexism.

[@brucebatson6151]

Samuel Robins men just tend to openly show emotion less cos most of the time they're viewed as the "head" of the family. You'd expect your mother to cry and your father to comfort her, not the other way around.

[@NertardXD]

Okay Chief Claney Wiggum, I disagree, I think everyone hides their emotions not just men. Did you read my comment? I say that men shouldn't show emotion, it's just natural. And are you saying I'm a sexist towards men?

[@waleuska]

BS on men being less emotional than women.

[@andrewplangdon]

I work for 1in6, a national nonprofit that supports men who were sexually abused or assaulted (named after the estimated 1 in 6 male survivors in the U.S.) Please know that free and anonymous help is available 24/7 at 1in6.org. You're not alone. #1in6

[@joncampos5551]

You're cute, bro.

[@ItsAsparageese]

Thank you so, so, so much for speaking out about this. I'm a woman and I've been standing up for issues like this for a long time, and it's beautiful to watch the social tide turning. I used to catch endless hate for caring about these things, but visibility like you're creating here is what helps people approach the issue reasonably. I'm so grateful you're using your platform to discuss this. Thank you so much.

[@ozaru90]

Happened to me when was 10, and kept on until I was 13. By my step-father no less. He's no longer part of my family now, but it took years before I was able to even think about talking to someone about it. I'm glad to see that it is starting to be brought up more, and I sympathize and respect the other men in the comments who also decided to admit they were abused.

[@thepalestinianjew230]

Thank you I was sexually assaulted as a child and it still hunts me Yet most people won't take me seriously simply because I am a man And she was a woman even though I was 6 years old at the time

[@cirrustate8674]

Thank you very much for shining light on this subject. Too often it gets swept under the rug.

[@randomgamer937]

"you don't need to do jokes about assault to be funny" he says while the women he's about to attack with Bee's for a joke runs away screaming and begging him to stop. I'm getting some mixed messages here.

[@welpalright8681]

randomgamer937 it’s not at the expense of others and obviously there aren’t actually bees in it? Stop being dumb

Thank you for standing up for men who have experienced this, people overlook them so much!! scrolling to the comments I can see so many people telling stories of them or their siblings or their friends and it just breaks my heart that the news or police just brush it off.

It's even more alarming since Terrys character at Brooklyn 99 is sexually harrassed by Gina 24/7 in the first seasons...

This was very wholesome, I’ve never heard of her show before but I’ll definitely be tuning in again!

Samantha is the only member of the MeeToo movement I support because shes so open to new ideas. We all need to remember we have the same problems, and we need to solve them tomorrow.
