7 STIGMATIZATION: SECRECY & SHAME Secrecy Disclosure rate much lower for males than females Less Societal Recognition Lower chance that adults will suspect sexual abuse of boys Masculinity Feeling that abuse experiences makes them less of a man Conflict between abuse experience and male socialization 03/26/2015 Dr. Matthew Mendel 13 POWERLESSNESS Abuse experience is one of helplessness Huge dissonance between abuse experience & masculine role Expectations of being strong, powerful & able to protect oneself Self-Blame Sense that he should have been able to protect himself 03/26/2015 Dr. Matthew Mendel
