If more men were consumed with passionate indignation for what was done to them as children the sexual mutilation of boys in America would end tomorrow. I could say the same thing about families of any abuse. There’s always one who finds the courage to stand up and say enough is enough and there’s always cowards who stand on the side of the abuser out of fear and “loyalty” while mocking and ostracizing the victim, therefore the cycle of abuse continues without repercussion. It’s a selfish act to deny abuse and a very courageous one to expose it. Men who are too scared to face their rage regarding their sexual mutilation are the very ones who are keeping the cutting culture alive and well. It’s a protective mechanism of the ego to deny. It’s thinking more about how much pain it will cause instead of the need to save others from the pain. It’s cowardly and selfish and all too common. Not everyone can handle it. But those who are courageous enough are the most selfless and loving of all. They risk destroying their own ego for the sake of helping and saving others. We need more heroes and less egotistical cowards to end this injustice against men in America. I guess that’s why heroes are so admired and envied because deep down maybe everyone wishes they had the courage to act in the presence of fear for the good of others.
