I used to vollunteer for a rape crisis center and no matter the gender all survivors had problems with flashbacks nightmares and so on and none per person was considered worse by gender then another. every person in general regardless of gender race, religion and so on has their own tollorance level. one female may not have the same problem as another female, one male may not have the same problem as another male the same goes for dividing that problem up by any other catagory of gender and so on. each individual case is desided on what that one person can handle and what they think about themselves is worse for them from before the attack vs for them after they have been attacked or abused. Every persons abuse counts and no ones situation is worse then another persons. statistically one in four males are sexually abused at some point in their lives and one in three females are sexually abused at some point in their lives but in crisis centers we considered each individual person and their problems as individual based on what they themselves consider worse for them before the attack vs after the attack. Even in the support and therapy groups they all regardless of macho attitudes did not consider each others situations worse or better then their own regardless of gender, race and so on. every survivor in the room considered each persons abuse as important as their own. it was actually one area where they were all on equal ground so to speak.
