A man shared a personal and serious experience, explaining how he was sexually assaulted by a female friend who drugged him at her home, and noting that men in Nigeria face legal and societal barriers if they try to report rape. His story highlighted an often-overlooked issue: male sexual assault and the lack of recognition or support for male survivors.
One comment responded: “You want tell us say e no sweet you Lol.”
This response is deeply insensitive and dismissive. It trivializes sexual assault by implying that the experience could be pleasurable, reinforcing harmful stereotypes about male victims and minimizing their trauma. Such remarks discourage survivors from speaking out, perpetuate stigma, and reflect a dangerous lack of understanding about consent, coercion, and the seriousness of sexual violence—regardless of the victim’s gender.
