This man deserves everything let him he happy

Ok… This is what happened to Fraser

-His wife ditched him and asked for 900k a year,

-He was sexually assaulted which he said kicked him into a deep depression

-He stated that the stunts from the 3rd Mummy movie completely destroyed his body and he was in and out of the hospital for 7 years even having to get surgery to repair his vocal cords.

-He apparently blamed himself for all this which only worsened his depression.

This man has literally been through hell this past decade so please lets cut him some slack and wish him the best

Terry Crews came out and admitted he had been sexually assulted by someone in the film industry, and is now being blacklisted. I have been a fan of his since Idiocracy, and will continue to support all of his work.

So when you wonder why people don’t come forward with their assults, this is why.

Where are all the bitch men who ask about male sexual assault when the focus is on women but are dead silent when men are actually at the focus.  

It’s almost as if Men’s Rights Activists don’t really care about men’s rights. Hmmm….

🤔

Yep….

I think it’s worth noting that Dianne Feinstein asked both James Comey and Terry Crews the same question at both their hearings and pointed out the hypocrisy of victim-blaming. Long post under the cut:

I think it’s important to note why she asked them both the same question regarding their size and strength–physical and moral:

  1. A person testifying cannot talk about why they did or did not do something unless they’re specifically asked about a subject.
  2. It gave them both the opportunity to shut down a victim-blaming line of questioning right away because she is asking to show how wrong it is to ask someone those kinds of question, where someone else on the senate panel would ask them as their real questions.
  3. It gave her the opportunity to highlight the ridiculousness and offensiveness of those kinds of questions, which she pointed out on her twitter:

In Terry Crews’ case, the issue of victim-blaming questioning is obviously wrong because he’s an actual sexual assault victim. In Comey’s case, the tones in his questions where present too–and not just from Feinstein, who had a point and purpose to her questions–which the media picked up on, too. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) 

James Comey is not a sexual assault victim, but he was a victim–of sorts–of a known sexual predator, a man known for abusing his power over people he sees as “below” him. I think it’s incredibly important what Dianne Feinstein does in these hearings with these questions. Here is what she achieves with that question:

  1. She is showing that abuse of power happens everywhere–in Hollywood and in government, in an office, at a school, anywhere that a someone abusive is in power.
  2. Men experiences various forms of assault, abuse, and harassment too!
  3. Being “big” or “tall” or “strong” does not mean people with those characteristics won’t be assaulted or harassed.
  4. Every victim’s story needs and deserves to be heard, and the abuser must face consequences for their actions.
  5. People with the power to make changes and to protect people–like senators!–need to stop shaming and blaming victims.
  6. HOLD PEOPLE IN POWER ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS!!!

“I asked all of the gay male students in the room to raise their hand if in the past week they touched a woman’s body without her consent. After a moment of hesitation, all of the hands of the gay men in the room went up. I then asked the same gay men to raise their hand if in the past week they offered a woman unsolicited advice about how to “improve” her body or her fashion. Once again, after a moment of hesitation, all of the hands in the room went up. These questions came after a brief exploration of gay men’s relationship to American fashion and women’s bodies. That dialogue included recognizing that gay men in the United States are often hailed as the experts of women’s fashion and by proxy women’s bodies. In addition to this there is a dominant logic that suggests that because gay men have no conscious desire to be sexually intimate with women, our uninvited touching and groping (physical assault) is benign.“”

These attitudes have led many gay men to feel curiously comfortable critiquing and touching women’s bodies at whim.  What’s unique about this is not the male sense of ownership to women’s bodies—that is somewhat common.  What’s curious is the minimization of these acts by gay men and many women because the male perpetuating the act is or is perceived to be gay.

An example: I was at a gay club in Atlanta with a good friend of mine who is a heterosexual black woman. While dancing in the club, a white gay male reached out and grabbed both her breasts aggressively. Shocked, she pushed him away immediately. When we both confronted him he told us:  “It’s no big deal, I’m gay, I don’t want her– I was just having fun.” We expressed our frustrations to him and demanded he apologize, but he simply refused. He clearly felt entitled to touch her body and could not even acknowledge the fact that he had assaulted her.

I have experienced this attitude as being very common amongst gay men. It should also be noted that in this case, she was a black woman and he a white gay male, which makes this an eyebrow-raising dynamic as it invokes the psychological history of white men’s entitlement to black women’s bodies. However it has been my experience that this dynamic of assault with gay men and women also persists within racial groups.
