Why He Fell Asleep During That Interview
Larry King: 10 Years, 2,000 Shows and Still the Best…
From Clutch Magazine: Oprah, Monique, Gabrielle Union, and Queen Latifah are all famous black women who have shared stories of sexual abuse or rape with the public. And in each case, the response to their experiences was generally met with compassion and sympathy. They were praised for being courageous enough to speak up and for inspiring other woman to do the same. But why is it that when Lil' Wayne revealed he was molested and introduced to sex at the age of 11 by a 14-year-old girl on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' he was met with laughter rather than shock or sympathy?Find Out @ Clutch Magazine

Because this world is so mixed on what you consider abuse,rape and so on and so forth. I think it is really sad regardless who u r to be taken advantage of. When someone abuses you they kill your spirit,the right to be a human. People don't understand it is alot to process both mentally and physically. Whether you are man or woman all things should be taken into consideration.

Love, patience and a whole lot of counseling (for the both of you). Never mention him being assaulted-let him tell you…when he’s ready.
A man copes with being sexually assaulted differently than a woman who was sexually assualted.
Even when the abuser is female-most men have a hard time admitting to being the victim of domestic violence...which can also include rape. The sad thing is that-there are men who've been robbed and raped by their assailant but only share the robbery part of the assault not the rape!
Men who've been raped in jail hardly ever tell their love ones because of the stigma attached to such a crime. I heard a woman ask her boyfriend “how could you let that happen to you?" There are gay men who've been raped and refuse to tell their partner because what their partner might think of them.
Unless a man is hospitalized and the woman/partner finds out that way-or a similar way-then most women/partners won't ever know...except for the fact-the man's behavior may change.
On the other hand-Even though Lil Wayne was violated by the 14 y/o girl ( which is a crime)-society views sexual assaults by females-against young males-as a rite of passage for that young man (badge of honor ). He probably didn't think about it too much at the time because-in the hood-these things are looked upon differently than it would be in front of a judge.
What people need to know is that anyone can be sexually assaulted because that is a crime of control, manipulation and power not sexual even though it’s a sexual act.
Several years ago-I had read this article about a certain species of animal that rape’s other male animals and the closed caption read “are they gay?” My answer was no to that ? and still is…no.

Help? for boys and men? Women don't care about anything that harms boys or men. They celebrate the victimhood of boys and men. And men, you only need to look at Judges Brown and Mathis. In there eyes males are supposed to take sexual and physical abuse from women rather than reporting it. Damn, the police is another story; they are no different than the two judges above. Lil'Wayne was abused and I was abused sexually from age 10 up until my mid-teens years by my mother's bestfriend. It's not really against the law for an adult woman to sexually abuse a little boy, because dumb axxx juries of men and women with see the women as a victim and not the little boys. Here is something for you to check with your sons, fathers, husbands, etc. When everyone is gone away for the night or weekend has your male ever put a dresser behind the locked door? Does he sleep with a little light on in the room, and tell you that when he was little someone tried to break into his house, etc. Lastly, for your little boys staying with, or going off on short rides with your best girl pal/friend, check his underwear without him noticing-have him change clothes, but get to those underwears immediately once your son returns. You know what to look for.

@john you are 100% correct! Our boys are NOT safe either! Guys are overlooked and it's thought of as CUTE! I know male friends who say they lost their virginity real young by older girls etc. I have a son and I tried so hard to protect him and I hope I succeeded. We have to watch our boys just like we watch our girls. I was fondled as a little girl by relatives, neighbor and went through life touched by my Drivers Ed teacher, my college professor, my supervisor and co workers. I felt like men got a pass when it came to women. I always remember what Sophia said in the Color Purple "a girl child aint safe in a family of men".

He's a fag in the pulpit. I never watch him on tv... I keep my eyes on the Lord, and not on man...SMDH. They're talking about him all over NYC. He is a digrace to TRUE christians everywhere. The fact that his members are defending him SHOWS that thhis is not a church but a cult, and eddie is their god. SMDH

This is so true...there is no help for boys and men of sexual abuse. Some women think that they got the right man in there life only to realize he is abuseing her daughters and sons. I hope now that the darkness of abuse has been brought to light there will help offer to boys and men.
