Me Too

The recent news about Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has emboldened many women to openly admit to having been sexually abused. The #metoo hashtag me too has become a way for some to identify with his victims. Now we know that his abuses have been an open secret in the Hollywood community. There is another one; that of sexual abuse of young boys. Not as many men are talking about it, yet. I was 18 years old when I was sexually assaulted. I was in the Army and then, just as they do now, they swept it under the rug instead of taking punitive action against the rapist. Then, much as they still do, they blame the victim. Were you at a party with people you didn't know? What were you wearing? Did you accept a ride from a stranger? Why? Well, I had to get back to the barracks, buses weren't running, and I had no idea I was with a rapist. What's your story?
