Other Notes:
“The men face a great deal of prejudice against the and especially in connection with children. When Finn revealed that he had been sexually abused as a child, he was restricted from coming near his siblings’ children. The men say that one of the main reasons male victims of sexual abuse do not reveal the violation is that people have, in general, come to the conclusion that victims of abuse become abusers, because everyone who is caught abusing others say that they have suffered this as well and people reverse this logic.” p. 8
