His comment was ignorant, smug and throws back to an earlier era of male dominance. How dare he. There's plenty of information about sexual assault available, and I'd expect any well-read person, and certainly a therapist to be well familiar with it. There's no excuse for such a stupid comment, and a few US politicians have lost their offices with similar statements.

I'm furious on your behalf. Any excuse, anything other than his admission of abject ignorance is feigning and manipulation. You have to decide if this massive
misstep is compensated by your other history, but the test is his.

I hope you have, or find authentic support. Wishing you strength and safety.
