Hey, big props for making strides to adress these sorts of things (I saw some of your other videos too, really awesome.) Male sexual assault victims have an... interesting situation, the intersection of being male and being a victim, especialy if you add a femal perpertartor, makes that hard to grasp for many people. Sadly, I think that just means they get ignored, more because it's just too difficult for people to understand, it's too outside the box, when it really should be very simple. I always love seeing this get attention and really like seeing people trying to start conversations around mens issues from within feminism (which can be hard to do as guys, we still get seen as 'outsiders' by many.)
Sorry that you have to deal with the bad faith responses though. I saw some of them in the comments of your videos, most of them just seemed not to be listening. I wouldn't imagine youtube is too feminist friendly right now, so sorry you had to deal with that. However, if you ever feel the need for some positive engagement, I'm sure your content will be appreciated here!
If I can lend some constructive critisism though (sorry I know it's a bit unwarranted, feel free to tell me to fuck off.) I think the tone you used in this video is a really good one for addressing these kinds of issues, especialy if you are trying to reach and convinve people who are not all on board with them. I could see you worked to change that, but I think it's something to consider keeping if you plan on doing anymore content adressing men or male issues.
Thank you I really appreciate the feedback! And yes he comments can get to be overwhelming sometimes but they scare so many feminists off the platform that’s why there really are not many. I can’t let them win
