Dred Feminist Rant #8.5 -- Black Men Against Rape?

Loretta Ross: Posted on Sunday, December 17, 2017 12:26 PM

Brothers disclosing when they've been sexually assaulted is an unintended, but welcome, consequence of the #METOO campaign. In the 1970s, at the D.C. Rape Crisis Center, we counseled many African American men and boys who had been sexually assaulted by other men and boys. Prisoners Against Rape was started because the men who raped women outside of prisons, raped men inside. That was when i first heard Black men began speaking out against their own sexual injustices, but only rarely is the conversation broadened so that more brothers participate. I believe homophobia and transphobia prohibits more men and boys from speaking out. Where's the Black Men Against Rape movement?
