AWARE, a gender equality advocacy group, shared in their social media platforms the story of a man who was sexually assaulted by a male masseuse while getting a message in 2010. The man said the masseuse touched him inappropriately and asked him if he liked it. The man who was not identified in the video said that he did not know what to think or even if he should shout and just froze.
“Male survivors of sexual assault freeze, too. Male survivors experience trauma and self-blame, too. Male survivors also do not “ask for it”. Male survivors should not be expected to “fight back”.” The #MeToo movement is a social movement against sexual abuse and sexual harassment where people publicise allegations of sex crimes. The phrase “Me Too” was initially used in this context on social media in 2006, on Myspace, by sexual assault survivor and activist Tarana Burke.
The related hashtag #HimToo emerged in popularity with the #MeToo movement. Although dating back to at least 2015, and initially associated with politics or casual communication, #HimToo took on new meanings associated with #MeToo in 2017, with some using it to emphasize male victims of sexual harassment and abuse, and others using it to emphasize male perpetrators., AWARE said that as a gender-equality organisation it works closely with survivors of sexual violence.
