A man shared his experience of being sexually assaulted by a female friend who drugged him at her home, highlighting the difficulty men face in reporting rape in Nigeria. His story drew attention to male sexual assault, a topic often overlooked in society.
One comment read: “Me if the girl uses condoms, I no go sue here because I was well protected.”
This response is highly problematic. It trivializes sexual assault by reducing it to a matter of contraception, implying that being “protected” negates the violation. Sexual assault is about consent, not physical protection or pregnancy risk. Such remarks dismiss the trauma and emotional harm experienced by survivors, perpetuating myths that minimize male victimization and normalize flippant attitudes toward rape.
