I am glad of the departure of the man who ran a Scottish rape crisis centre as I guess a lot of people are.

However there seems something really dark about a male psyche (trans or not) that wants to be intimately involved in supporting victims of an extremely sensitive sexual crime. I guess tra may make the argument that men are raped too but there should be separate service for this.

The idea of a man listening to woman's description of degradation is applying to me. Had it not occurring to some that there may be men taking some form of macabre perverse pleasure (possibly sexual) in this?

Do you actually deny that men would feel degraded and violated when raped? It's completely unnecessary. I said I agreed with everything else you said but I couldn't let that bizarre statement go.

No of course not, I have worked with both male and female survivors of sexual assault, usually in childhood. The thread, however was about women's experience of rape and rape crisis services which were allegedly women only spaces, which were then infiltrated by a man in womanface. It seemed odd to discuss sexual assault on males, in that context.

You brought it up, not me.

I suspect that as well for MW, part of the reason for applying for this job may be for validation as a woman. Someone posted a while ago about a social gathering where MW was going round asking people if they thought he was a woman - I guess if you are head of a rape crisis centre, used mainly by women who mostly want to see women counsellors, your role there helps you to convince yourself that you are a woman too.

Yes. There's also the account of MW having the power to give poor Americans food stamps, and revelling in playing god. Not a nice person.

Can you quote where I did that, please?

Read the thread, where I first mentioned it. You'll note that it was in response to you saying men can't experience rape. They can. Lets not derail the thread any further, shall we?
