“Why didn’t you fight back” yes cuz a black man throat punching a 135lb Jewish producer at a gala would make a great headline

He was directing this at one of the Wayans brothers too. Disingenuous! /sarcasm :P
robertloblawlessthethird
He deserves credit yes. But he also just deserves to not be sexually assaulted. Like Every. Single. Human. Being.

Fuck 50 cent for what he did
Aprilmadness
It is more important than ever for men to support each other to be more open, affectionate and less ashamed of their right to feel loved
Aprilmadness
Women can only be benefited and protected when men in their lives are confident and unashamed of self-care
TehRedHerring
Terry is a big ass tank, he could've steamrolled that guy for sure, he didn't. Legend
Cythert
He’s a big man, with a big heart. It would be nice if more people aspired to be like him.
PhilTheFluffiestDogOnTheInternet
I was much more impressed when he said he was willing to drop out of the expendables.
Cythert
I can only hope this doesn’t cause Hollywood to turn their backs on him, considering how fickle they are.
Nobody7713
Not at large, there's an increasing faction of people in Hollywood who're sick of the sexual abuse, and they'll welcome him with open arms.
eadanke
It's always interesting to see who gets to be the hero and who gets slandered. Feldman is probably pissed he isn't jacked and handsome.
FinalFlashDatAss
God bless him!
thematman
It kind of just occurred to me how little Imgur, myself included, seemed to care about sexual assault until it happened to a man we like.
Memeeater
Yep. I guess the people care more about the prospect of being falsely accused than being raped

I wouldn’t even let myself think about it,at 22 drinking everyday and doing drugs to ignore it. Spoke about it and now I’m at peace with it.

Sometimes it takes years, it did for terry too. Dont be ashamed, let it out when youre ready. I never brought mine up until a decade 1/2

It took me almost 10 years to finally talk about being raped because any time rape came up you'd just hear about how it can't happen to men.

What about prisons? Men are rapped way more than women if you include prisons
Ladydeth68
I'm sorry it happened to you, I hope you found someone to talk to about it that was caring.

It's crazy how many people still believe that. You can be talking to a seemingly normal person then bam they hit you with that one.

I'm assuming the perpetrator was female?

It doesn’t matter, but societal acceptance that a woman can rape a man is lower than if it was a man raping a man.

if/when people are called on to hear a loved one disclose, they are educated & ready to best support them. Agree with your sentiment though
faireoublier
My bf was coerced into doing things with a few kids older than him (diff instances). One girl, one guy. He was a kid, they were teenagers.
faireoublier
He was maybe 10-12? They used their authority bc of the age difference to manipulate him. It happens, and it’s awful.
faireoublier
I know another guy, grew up in the foster care system, living with a few diff foster kids. He was 8 when an older girl raped him.
faireoublier
I think she was 14. There is no excuse for that, she knew it was wrong. He did what she said, because she was older and had power.
faireoublier
It’s so sad that there is the judgement of being “weak” if guys talk about this, the same goes for emotional problems and mental health.
MateriaCaelestis
Sounds to me like you had the opportunity to change a lot of minds.
ThatGuyVinny
A mountain to big for some victims to climb, the fortitude needed just to admit it happened never mind defend yourself to sceptics is huge
MateriaCaelestis
Yeah, I get that. The report rate for women is only 1:7, and I assume it’s even lower for men.
cschram
Almost nonexistent from what I understand. I've got nothing to cite on that though
ThatGuyVinny
A problem I don't know how to fix ether. The base for any modern legal system is innocent until proven, with cross examination(1/2)

I agree with this 100% But might add there is no one right way of being a man. He is an excellent role model though.

There are a few general rules, tho. Protect those weaker than you. Defend what you believe in. Be honest.

Also, that's the right way to being a woman too!

GoldenRamoth
Yeah. Definitely this too. That's something I know I need to work on. It's easy to get made fun of, or feel like it, and get super defensive
SkinnerTBD
look at the charges for the montana woman and the news titles. Terry is more important than even this makes him out to be.

If you look closer, this could be due to the legal language in Montana, and the news agencies want to report accurately. Still rape, though.

Turner is widely regarded as a rapist even though he was never charged as such. Mears wasn't even charged with any sexual misconduct.

I read that her lack of charges have a lot to do with the legal definition of rape. So, we need to revisit those definitions ASAP

Double standard. "Equality of rights"... "not you though... you're a guy".

Actually it had nothing to do with Turner being a guy, it's because his family was well off.

It does. But as a male victim: It's nice for one realm of my universe to actually cover and respect the issue. It feels good for once.

We get it, you want to make sure you call out black culture.

How the fuck is Terry Crews not masculne.
Benlivin91
I heard he pees sitting down
flamingflamingo
He is fuckin masculine af. But admitting you've been a victim of sexual assault takes away man points in some [shitty] perspectives.

Dude gets hit by a car: "Shit, man up over there. You should've kept standing when he hit you and just take it!"
mazerinth
This.
mazerinth
As in I agree with you whole heartedly

Because, according to 50 cent, he is unwilling to shoot and kill a man gangster-style for harassing him just to maintain a machismo image.
scottjaeger
I can feel my biceps swelling just looking at him!
LivingAsDad
Was going to make this exact comment.

He's an amazing man. A wonderful father who got into gaming to be close to his kid, a wonderful husband I'm sure, A talented actor 1/2
Fahargo
who takes pride in his work. A beast of a man who eats right and exercises. And a role model for all men for giving up a job to bring 2/3
Fahargo
his abuser to justice. I hope to be half the man that guy is. Seriously i want to at least be half his size.

He is masculine. But there is a perspective that men talking about being sexually assaulted isn’t manly. It’s toxic masculinity.

It breaks my heArt....

My hubby refuses to admit he was sexually assaulted when he was young, I try to get him to be open about it but it's like he's afraid. :(
80percentlegs
Has he seen a therapist?
VizenFatale
I can't get him to go! I can't convince him to get any help at all! And he argues if I push it.
yesyoucancancan
*masculine.

I've heard it both ways
LincLoud
To some, like 50 Cent, any form of vulnerability; physical or emotional, is considered weakness and weakness is viewed as not manly. It's ->
LincLoud
odd given that the most famous men have often admitted to moments of weakness and how facing them made them stronger.
DoggoPicsMakeMeHungry
I'd say that's true of many good but not famous men as well.
SepulT
I bet if Terry took him apart he keep his mouth shut.

Terry wins by not responding with a clap back. You win by rising above, not stooping to their level.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
But Mr Crews is a better man than that.
WannabeMaverick
I wish he wasn't, in some churlish way.
ichegoya
Well I think 50 was an amateur boxer. It would be a fight for sure.
Benlivin91
He got shot in the face. A 50lb school girl could rebreak that jaw.
Magillaguerilla22
I'd like to see them in a ring
andachairaswell
Terry would just talk it out till fiddy broke down then they would hug and be bros
DickDickthedick0331
I'd love to see the 2 quarters get turned into a bag of pennies.
Beeekman
This made me laugh so hard. I’m using “two quarters” from now on.

Puntastic +1 good sir
Takavos
Sorry to tell you this but i would put my money on 50 cent. Even though i like Terry far more then him
vladputinovski11
Terry is probably 3 times as big as 50, doubt 50 could take him
MartyMcNugget
No... Fucking... Way.
hardytardigrade
I bet fistfights aren't the solution to cultural issues where men are concerned about being manly
quattroformaggix4
Thank you for displaying much needed rationality-how quickly discussions about toxic masculinity become displays of them is sad/laughable.
ChanclaSurvivor
Swords then.
hardytardigrade
That's more like it
