Well. Wow.

Some of you, literally disgust me with your comments. I’m nineteen years old and I can say, I believe Mike. I can also say that some of the responses I’m seeing here, are not at all called for. Some of the responses are just.. Pathetic..

Who is anyone to say what Rape really is? I mean, last I heard, Rape was non-consensual sex. The point of this whole post was not to have you all mock him, call him unmanly or say he’s lying. It’s to bring awareness to the fact that YES, men do and CAN get raped. Women aren’t the only victim and it’s NOT at all surprising that more men don’t come forward. Read what you’ve all said. Then honestly ask yourself if you would openly come into comments like these. Seriously. People. Some of you need to get a grip on reality.

Oh and “A DANE”? Telling someone to get over something because it’s been 17 years? Really isn’t your place to say. Doesn’t matter how long it’s been, doesn’t matter what you think either. The facts are, people heal at their OWN pace and YOU don’t have the RIGHT to TELL SOMEONE ELSE, how fast they should heal. That’s like telling me to get over my Sexual Abuse because it’s been a year. Bullshit. That’s just, plain stupid and ignorant.

Some of your posts here, have really irritated me, and make me sad to think that some of you actually have the NERVE to write this stuff. This kind of thing DOES happen.
