I am a man that was raped by a woman. Only a small number of people know, and i have never gone to the authorities. It took me years to admit to myself I had been raped. I think it was 10, maybe even 15 years later.

When I talk about it I feel utter shame. The few people that I have shared it with do not believe me, or dismiss it as not rape enough to be real rape. Even my own mother scoffs at it not being real rape.
