In this episode, Callum & Craig sit down to talk about the topic of Male Rape. This is an issue which has huge stigma around it and we want to put voice to this important topic to raise awareness of it. In previous episodes we have spoken candidly about many feminist and women's issues issues and we have been staunchly on the side of women. Yet, we realise that rape is something that unfortunately happens to all genders and so felt it important to look at this from the man's perspective. We touch on statistics, context in which these experiences may happen and how this might impact an individuals' sense of self and one's perception of masculinity if it has happened to you. We also cover male rape in popular culture as well as how we would work with those with experience of this in a counselling context.
