Yeah in backwater shithole cultures like Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia or even closer to (my) home like Mexico that are way behind the times, women can’t report abuse for fear of being disbelieved, gaslighted, minimized, shamed, shunned, disfigured or even killed for reporting abuse.

But the world has made some progress on that front for women.

For men, trying to get help for abuse in the USA he fears all those outcomes. For men, modern society is still in the dark about this.
