'The damage she caused was irreversible': 90% of male revenge porn victims are also blackmailed, but the police just don't care
This approach applies to both men and women. However, male victims, in particular, don't receive help simply due to the fact that they are men.
Natalie Quinn-Walker, a lecturer at the Arden University, told Insider: "In my research, I have found that most male victims are not believed or sufficiently supported when they tell their stories of abuse to healthcare professionals or supportive services."With the police uninterested in enforcing the law, Martin — who developed PTSD from the experience — sought help from counselors and social services instead."In North Carolina, I went to a counselor who was willing to see me.
Matthew Hall, a professor and author of the book "Revenge Porn: Gender, Sexualities, and Motivations" told Insider: "In the broader social context, men are often viewed as the stronger sex. This works the same with male victims because we ask ourselves: 'How can a woman have done this to him?' But instead of messages condoning the illegal behavior, people chose to joke about the images. "I was really unnerved as to how it wasn't taken seriously in any way, shape, or form. For everyone, it was just like a joke," he said.
Quinn-Walker agreed: "With male victims, it can be difficult for them to report their case to the police because many of them may too afraid to come forward, as they may fear the risk of being unbelieved or unsupported." Martin, who grew up with two sisters, said that he never learned to see the warning signs of abuse. "Being a male, growing up as a male, I was always taught to be tough. I didn't know what abuse looked like, I was told to ignore it and take it like a man," he said.
